Largest roundel
 

I went into King's Cross St Pancras Underground station today via the
new(ish) entrace close to KX platforms 9-11. There is an enormous
illuminated Underground roundel above the steps down into the station
- and I wondered if it is the largest roundel on the network, or
whether there are other giants to behold? (I'm not being fussy, you
can play around with this question in different categories of signage
if you like - just one of those Friday afternoon thoughts!)

Cheers,
Sam

Is it bigger than the one at Brixton?

Good suggestion - yes, that looks larger to me!

I've just found a photo of the KXStP one (although it's not easy to
get scale from it) : http://www.flickr.com/photos/blech/4146692117

Here's a similar photo I took soon after it opened, with a little more

The Arsenal one is also bigger than that.

There's a large-ish Overground roundel at Dalston Jn that's a bit
reminiscent of the one at KXSP in that it's above some stairs, though
it's not backlit (and is smaller than all the others discussed here):
