2016, Basil Jet remarked:

So outside Stratford there would be three roundels - "Underground",
"Overground" and "Elizabeth line". That would be weird - it instantly
puts the question "Why doesn't the Underground roundel say Central
line" in your head.


You forgot the Jubilee Line, DLR and Abellio GA.

What roundels are outside Wimbledon, which has Underground*, Tramlink,
and National Rail (genuine question).


BR

koffNR/koff

arrows and Underground.

It is not a TfL property thus not guaranteed to match TfL's rules.
Richmond station isn't either but it has got a totem outside which
from top to bottom shows - double arrow, Overground, Underground,
station name; IIRC the last item is also non-conforming to TfL style.

LU itself doesn't seem to get it right every time - the double arrow
has disappeared from the south side of Harrow Met. station**; it looks
like the big window (which had sections missing where the LNER and
later the BR badges fitted in) has been replaced at some time with
more modern materials. The "repro" totem out on Lowlands Road is
similarly devoid (if they were doing the job properly it should have
an LNER symbol below) but the totem in College Road is conforming with
an Underground roundel over the double arrows.

**Older view :-

(The LNER's successors' signs were similarly positioned)


* Rather than District Line.
