Alphabetical thing: Borough

Apologies for not updating this blog once again. I have still been visiting stations alphabetically, watching cult TV shows, and doing all the other things I post about. I've just not been posting about them.

Like I said before, I'm a very private person, and I really don't feel comfortable sharing what I've done. (There's a part of me which worries that what I do might be None of Your Business and so I'll be doing The Wrong Thing by telling you about them.)

But since I've started this blog, I suppose I'd better continue with it...

Borough Underground station is on the Bank branch of the Northern line. Despite being south of the Thames, it is in zone 1.  It's a typical deep-level tube station, with platforms in tunnels.  It's deep enough to be accessed by lifts and stairs, rather than escalators.

 

 

What's immediately outside the station? When I was there back in October, lots of road works.

Also, a rather nice old church. In fact it's the oldest church dedicated to St George (England's patron saint) in London.

Set into the paving slabs outside the station entrance are signs showing the walking routes to nearby sites. Unfortunately most of the letters have been worn away, leaving them rather unreadable.

Is it near Borough Market? No. Although that's the only thing Borough is known for, you want London Bridge station for that.
