The new, more elaborate "heritage style" sign is reappearing at most or all
Underground stations, replacing the plainer version of recent years. Just
take a look. I don't know if LU150 triggered it, but the Underground is
definitely restoring more of its classic look.


It's a shame they put up one of the plainer versions, quite so recently
and quite so large, at Kings Cross (exit towards "the lands"):

Is this the largest roundel on the system, or is there a bigger one
anywhere else??


The one at Brixton looks twice as big as that. Didn't we have this
discussion a few months ago?

Yes, the Brixton one does look bigger, but the Kings Cross one has a lot
of "white space" around it, which I suppose we aren't counting.
