"a metro station in london, england. unfortunately I don't remember
the name of the station."

And surprisingly none of the copmmenters so far have identified it.

OK, there are not many clues to go on, but I thought someone here might
have an idea. Vague suggestions so far have been Stamford Brook,
Turnham Green, Ravenscourt Park, the "District and Circle line" or
"Picadilly line".

Have fun,

My first thought was Barons Court. I hadn't read your "clues" then but this
is in the likely area.

I think it's Richmond (or possibly Wimbledon). The platform build
looks LSWR/Southern Region to me and then there's the matter of the
trainstop lights which you wouldn't get at a through station.

Given the tree stopping lines, I'm going for Wimbledon. Richmond tube
doesn't look that bleak.

Its not Wimbledon, the trainstops are the wrong way round. From the
perspective of them it looks like there are three lines as well,
Wimbledon only has two.

There are four Underground tracks at Wimbledon. If you are stood on
one platform looking perpendicular to the tracks, you can only see
three at any one time.

I--------------------------- track
================ platforms 1/2
I--------------------------- track

================ platforms 3/4

Without a doubt, it is the District line terminus at Wimbledon. Compare
the wall features at the back of the photo with the following:

But where's that shelter and its pillars? Although otherwise it does
look the same though, and I'm sure there's a shelter at Richmond
anyway.

What's that at the top that looks like a bridge? And why is it just
blank white above it? Is it maybe a trick composite?

The wall looks the same, the smaller graffiti just above the far
trainstop looks similar and the yellow staining on the wall behind
matches up.
There should be at least one canopy support in shot though, just about
where the vending machine object is. The girder at the top of the
picture doesn't match the Wimbledon picture at all either.

Definately looks like wimbledon to me. The pipe along the wall stops at
about the same location in both pictures. If you zoom in, you can see
an electrification arrow (and a / I think) in the same spot too.

I think that the white girder is from the outside of the platform
canopy. If you look at the second image (from Paul Terry), you can see
that the inside of the girders are brown, but the outside of the one on
the other platform is white. Therefore I think that the white girder is
the near part of the canopy, with the brown one beneath being the far
side.

I think that the canopy support is just off the picture to the right
and that the canopy is from the near platform. However, I do agree that
it looks like there should be a support on the same platform as the
chair, I'd put it behind the near set of stop lights between the chair
and the vending machine, as the Paul Terry image has the support
approximately where pipe on the wall ends (and at the end of the yellow
platform line)
