Default Can you identify this tube station from this arty picture

I agree with the composite theory. The girder and white area above it
are too artificial to be original for a start.


Possible, but the Wimbledon canopy is a bit odd anyway, with very long
spans. Although on the other side of the station, the following shows
the canopy quite well:

Although dubious at first, I now agree that it is Wimbledon. If you
compare the original picture with the one at the top of this page
http://www.trainweb.org/districtdave/ you can see the style of the
canopy fits in, also the height fits well with the wall behind it, and
it also shows that the fixed red lights are slightly offset on
platforms 2 & 3, as per the original picture.
