Thanks, in advance, I'll also take any suggestions for photo spots
worth checking out anywhere on the Underground or DLR.

Tower Gateway and West India Quay on DLR as they are both about to
change beyond recognition. Also South Quay before it closes and moves.

If you can be bothered to make the trek it might be worth seeing if
anything is happening yet on the old NR line from Stratford to Canning
Town in terms of DLR conversion works.

Strangely it will also be worth your while taking some pictures at
Stratford - especially the w/b Central Line platform as the Olympics
work will change that considerably as well.

Any of the Jubilee Line Extension stations are worth a snap or two at
ground level. Canada Water may end up with a development of the top of
it so if you aren't resident in London you may wish to photograph that.

I understand Southgate is nearly completion in terms of its
refurbishment and is worth a look. Also Cockfosters and Oakwood which
have been refurbished too, make sure to see the old style signs by the
bus stops at Cockfosters.
