Very revealing. Four floors of retail, then ticket hall below that and
the platforms below that.

I was wondering why they needed such a long building if the trains
were below the surface. RETAIL!


Maybe they wouldn't be allowed to have platforms below water.


They are below water, just like the Jubilee line station.

Having built on every scrap of land they are now building on the old
docks - so inconsiderate for someone to have dug them in the first
place.
