Most scenic route on the tube?
 
What do you think is the most scenic route on the tube? Is it the Amersham
bit of the Metropolitain line?

It's only a short section, but Croxley to Watford on the Met., passing
over the GUC is quite pleasant.

I think he might be teasing you by citing an example where there is no
view whatsoever.

Of course if you walk it you'll be treated to some great view over the
river as you cross one of the two Hungerford Millennium footbridges.

Alternatively you could spend the time people watching instead. The
author of the Going Underground blog is certainly fascinated by the
Tube's fashion victims [1]. As, indeed, am I! Though as my present
wardrobe isn't spectacularly outlandish maybe I should be joining
them... perhaps I'll travel as a Tiger, replete with snogging
accessory[2]... I think this might be veering off-topic!

I prefer the view from Waterloo Bridge which is one of my favourite
London views.

I had a quick look at the blog - I can't get into that at all. And as
for the fashion sniping well I'm sure people could spend their time more
effectively. I mean really - there must be something better to do while
travelling round on the tube e.g. sleeping!

Though as my present
wardrobe isn't spectacularly outlandish maybe I should be joining
them... perhaps I'll travel as a Tiger, replete with snogging

I already have a particular mental picture of what you must be like. It
would probably go into meltdown if you were to do this. g
