I've just looked at numerous tube portals in Bing Maps using the 45 degree view. The pair of round portals are clearly visible in most. I have found none which clearly match your description. I don't think the round Tube tunnels are visible at either end of the Jubilee line, nor the Bakerloo line, nor the western end of the Piccadilly line; not sure of the eastern end, but I don't think so. The Central line Stratford tunnel portals are separate, with Crossrail tracks in between, while the (separate) western portals are buried under the Westfield development and no longer visible. I'm not sure about the Northern line northern portals, but the tube tunnels are visble at Morden. The Victoria line and Drain are entirely underground, so no portals. The DLR Bank tunnel round tube tunnels are visible, but I don't think the other DLR tube tunnels are. |
