Belvedere station follows the typical Southeastern pattern of two platforms, each with its own exit, linked by a footbridge. It's on the line from Woolwich to Dartford, but is only served by the stopping trains.
What's immediately outside the station? In one direction, the sinisterly Stepford-esque sounding "Belvedere Family Resource Centre". In the other, a pair of rusting gasometers, and my mother's home where I popped in for lunch before continuing to Bermondsey.
Is it near a belvedere like the one in Escher's famous picture? No, but viewed from some angles, all the not-quite-connecting stairs and ramps of the double-footbridge do seem to remind me of Escher's other works.
