Bromley-by-Bow Underground station is on the District and Hammersmith & City lines. It's one of those above-ground Underground stations, with two platforms, and an exit and ticket office on the footbridge linking them.
What's outside the station? Immediately outside is the Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach road.
Further afield, the area curiously seems to follow the same pattern as
Brimsdown. Westwards, is housing, including the former home of Mahatma Ghandi.
Meanwhile eastwards is mostly industrial and commercial premises, with the River Lea hidden behind them.
I wonder if those are
the same two swans I saw on the Lea at Brimsdown, who must be getting very paranoid by the fact that I seem to be following them with a camera...
Is it near the London Borough of Bromley? No, that's why the "-by-Bow" was added to the the station name in the 1960s, to reduce confusion. Although, that still doesn't explain why they used hyphens instead of good old spaces!
