I think the new one at Canary Wharf is quite pretty what with the sliding doors on the new Jubilee Line. As for aroma, you can't beat Leicester Square tube at midnight on a Friday night - all those kebabs, half filled cans of cider and vomit - that's quite an aroma.

Nope, I disagree that Morden is the best - who told you that? There's nothing wrong with it other than the fact that it's a little dingy, but it is just a very average suburban station.

I think the best ones are the newer ones on the Jubilee Line - Canary Wharf, Canada Water and Bermondsey. They're modern and reasonably well-looked after, and best of all they've actually been designed with a thought for how many people may need to use them in the future, not how many people need to use them today. They're huge.

It's difficult to say in terms of customer service because let's face it, LU is not renowed for great service. In fact I can remember *once* having good service, and that was from a guy in the ticket booth at Holborn. Where I live at Canada Water they're not too rude, but it ***** me off that sometimes the ticket office is closed "due to staff shortages" yet there will be three staff just standing by the gate.

Leicester Square because of the massive escalators

When it's finished it's very expensive refurbishment, Maida Vale on the Bakerloo line will be resplendent as in its former days ! ! !

Liverpool Street is so user friendly as opposed to any other of the stations but I just love waterloo - it joins onto the railway station and it's like a super airport!
