Is this sight gag from a London underground station?


Not London Underground. The third rail looks similar to the DLR in London,
but by enlarging the photo and trying a few guesses in Google, I managed to
decipher the bottom two lines of the advert as:

Funeral Services Bergmann & Sohn
Jonasstraße 7, [postcode] Berlin Tiergarten

So I assume it's in Berlin.


There?s indeed an undertaker called Bergemann (but without a son ;-) at
Jonasstrasse 7 in Berlin: www.bbest.de

However looking at their rather obscure website it?s highly unlikely they are
using this kind of PR.

The station is not in Berlin anyway = All made up.


It looks to me like a computer rendering of a 3D model. Can't really say
why; gut feeling. Something about the uniformity and cleanness of the
ceiling tiles and other bits (could just be German, of course).

No idea where it's a model of!
