Default Can you identify this tube station from this arty picture

Upon the miasma of midnight, a darkling spirit identified as MIG
gently breathed:

And should we really be able to see the top of the wall under the
canopy from this angle? In the picture with the train it looks as if
the canopy comes down lower than the top of the wall, which again
implies looking upwards from close, while the picture of the couple is
looking straight across.

All very odd.


The girder-looking-thing is indeed the canopy edge support, you can see
how it rises and falls in a gentle arch in both shots. However, this
canopy is on the same platform as the photographer, while the platform
the couple are sitting on is canopyless. At first I thought the plain
white area above the girder has clearly (and very crudely) been blanked
out in an image editor, but it could just be a very over-exposed outer
face of the same canopy (in which case the photographer is one platform
further back than I originally thought).
