Escalators - Canary Wharf
This is very a popular landmark on the London Underground, so I thought it was finally time to capture photography of the powerful escalators at Canary Wharf. It's a very striking design.
My favourite escalators however are at Bermondsey Station.

I had a lot of fun recreating this old 1944 poster by Fougasse. I needed Charles Holden architecture with uplighters, so Northern line towards Morden. Geoff Marshall is the 'learner' with a trilby hat & Colliers Wood best matched Kenneth Bird's poster!
