Is there somewhere online I can find out which tube stations are underground
and which are above ground? Or if not online, somewhere I can buy a book
with that information. It seems like an easy request, but my research hasn't
got me very far.

This is strictly to the best of my knowledge and off the top of my
head! Corrections welcome...

Southgate is deep tube, despite having open air visible down one of the
running tunnels.
Are you sure Hatton Cross is cut-and-cover? It's quite deep, and there would
be no obvious reason to cover it.

Isn't Blackfriars partly open?
Bow Road is half open.
IIRC Stepney Green has a small garden which is open to the air, on a disused
bay platform adjacent to the eastbound.

I think the north end of Wapping might be open.

I think that, like many modern stations, it was built as an open box and
then roofed over. The running tunnels count as "T", but I suppose the
station itself is "C".

The tunnel from Hounslow West, Hatton Cross station and a short length of
tunnel to the west are cut and cover. The bored tube tunnels start a short
distance west of the station.

Thanks for all the helpful replies so far!

Mile End is open just above the w/b Central platform.... it's where the
pigeons get in....

I'm not sure it is very deep, is it? I recall just stairs down to the
platforms - not even an escalator.

Yes, there are 33 steps down to the platforms, which have flat ceilings and
are evidently cut-and-cover. The "obvious reason to cover it" is that the
exit from the bus station and the airport perimeter road are on top of it.
