That would be all of the ones that are underground on the
Met/Hammersmith Lines. They are dirty and depressing places to wait for
trains. Infact the only decent stations underground seem to be on the
Jubilee Line.

personally I found all the stations on the tunnel section of the Jubilee
line extension very depressing. Grey, bland, soulless architecture.

I agree with you. They seem to be extolled as some sort of architectural
triumph but all they remind me of is some sort of hollywood idea of a
military bunker.

At least they are fairly clean and bright ...

One thing I note on the new Jubilee line stations is how comparatively
devoid of advertising they are. The escalator shafts at London Bridge
have no advertising at all, compared with older stations which have
advertising the whole length of the walls. On platforms, too, there's
a bit of advertising but nowhere near as much as on the rest of the
network. Anyone know why?

I would have thought that the 'glass wall' would make the standard
'large poster on the opposite wall' adverts less visible - and thus not
worthwhile.
