You just use the address box in your browser.

=================================================

no you don't

going from map view to steet views does not change the url in the
address box

It does in Safari under Mavericks.

Whatever. There used to be a way to create a short link in Google Maps but
there doesn't seem to be one now (without logging in which I can't do).

Works for me

click on the "link" button, check the "Short URL" box within the popup
dialogue

though I can't confirm that they last long enough to post to someone else

Are you logged in? That seems to be a recent innovation/requirement.

As far as I know the short links last a long time.

The above ground bit ceased to be anything to do with a tube station
80 years ago. Better to take one that has been less knocked about like
York Road or Aldwych if you want a museum.

Has someone paid £53m for *just* the below-ground-level bits of the
station?

What makes you think that?

Because of what you said about it ceasing to be "anything to do with a
tube station". You can't sell a tube station that isn't one any more.

Or do they mean "we've sold a site that used to be a tube station, but
hasn't been for a long time, apart from some bits below the surface".

Do you understand how the London Electric Railways built their tube stations
about 110 years ago?

What "link" button? None here. Or have you sold your soul to Google and
logged on? Not that there is a link to do that on the street view page
either.

No, I checked. It said at the upper right "sign on", so I wasn't

The one that looks like a piece of chain link next to the one that looks
like a printer (in someone's world, anyway). They both have "pop-up" tool
tips telling you what they are for
