I think it's Tottenham Court Road, at least ten years ago.

It's for a quiz I'm doing - guess the film. All I really want to know for
sure is whether or not it's TCR - I'll then work out what film it is from
that.


TCR at least 10 years ago did not look like that at all. The mosaic
tiles have been there since the 80s and I have no recollection of the
connecting corridors looking like that.

I'm happy to run with the Aldwych option as suggested by others. By way
of possible alternatives the only other places it might are Warren St
(which was my immediate thought) off the n/b Northern Line or possibly
Goodge St / Mornington Crescent but I'm not completely certain about the
lower level corridors at those stations.



It is Aldwych. The film is called Death Line, and the couple seen in
the picture lived near Russell Square I think. There are a few scenes
of trains going in and out of platforms. The platforms in question are
quite curved I think, and the platforms at Tottenham Court Road are
straight. It was made in 1972, so a lot more than ten years ago .....
