Alphabetical thing: Bow Road

Bow Road Underground station is on the District and Hammersmith & City lines. It's a very strange station, since the platforms have their western ends below ground, while the eastern ends come out into daylight. I can't think of any other stations like this anywhere else on the Underground.




What's outside the station? Bow Road itself, part of the busy A11, with Bow Church DLR station just a few minutes walk away.

Is it near Bow Street? No, that's in the West End, and this is the East End, on the edge of diamond geezer's territory. (But because of the way his blog's organised, it's almost impossible to link to individual posts, even though he has made quite a few about this station.)
