At embankment station, there's a room behind/under the down escalator
leading to the northbound northern line platform .There's victorian
tiling on the right hand wall as you look in from the foot of the
escalator; why?

Given that the Northern Line opened in 1907, I doubt it's actually
Victorian. Edwardian I might believe.


Built using a stockpile of Victorian tiles? Perhaps they bought a job lot
cheap after Victoria's death... But seriously, how quickly do architectural
styles/materials change?
