They have so very few tubes stops, it makes me shudder, this is why I could never live south of the River. iv. You call that busking? My ears are bleeding.

A couple of notes:
Finsbury Park is a station in North London on the Victoria and Piccadilly lines and was where I first lived when I moved to London.
Angel Islington is on the Northern Line and used to be ( so I was always told ) the most dangerous station on the whole network before it was upgraded from a single platform. The escalator is 200 feet long, the longest on the network and also the longest in the UK.
very nice. like the shorties a lot.
I love this! On my weekly or so trips to London, I’m usually at Finsbury Park (of all places).
Angel Islington is long. My record is having written 3 emails on my phone standing on that escalator.
