There are two entrances at different bits of the roundabouts system. Which
of the Bakerloo and Northern is the old LER building on the corner of London
Road and Newington Causeway?
If I had to guess I would say Bakerloo but it would be nice to be sure.
It is the Bakerloo Line ticket hall there.
The Northern Line ticket hall is directly opposite the Met Tabernacle
and adjacent to the shopping centre.
The fact it's basically two distinct stations linked by passageways is
fairly obvious once underground - the Bakerloo exit is signed as being
for "South Bank University" and the Northern exit is signed as the
"Shopping Centre".
Many bus routes serve two stops at E&C near the two entrances - where
this happens the iBus announcements specifically flag up that one should
be used for the Northern line, and the other for the Bakerloo - a
thoughtful and useful inclusion.
The slightly imposing marble clad office block behind it, Skipton House,
was built for a Japanese bank who then never moved in, instead selling
it on to the government - it now accommodates part of the Department of
Health.
