London's Most Photogenic Tube Stations

London Underground is an endless source of inspiration for photography. We've picked eight stations we think are particularly photogenic, and illustrated them with the best shots from the Londonist Flickr pool. Which tube stations would you add?

Southgate

Looking like Jabba's Palace from Return of the Jedi, Southgate station opened in 1933 and was designed by Charles Holden.

Gants Hill

Many Londoners never visit this corner of the Central line, but the journey is worthwhile to bask in the barrel-vaulted glory of this Charles Holden creation. The platform area is reminiscent of the Moscow Metro, on which Holden advised. It's one of the few stations to open in the 1940s.

Canary Wharf

From the firm of Norman Foster, Canary Wharf station is housed in a vast concrete cavern. It's often said that you could fit 1 Canada Square (the tallest Canary Wharf tower) in its void. The station opened in 1999 as part of the Jubilee line extension.

Wembley Park

Chosen less for its architectural merits and more for the human activity on show. The steps outside the station resemble old football terraces, and are full of colour and noise on a match day.

Baker Street

One of the original stations on London Underground, Baker Street opened in 1863. The Circle line platforms retain many Victorian features.

Sudbury Town

The archetypal Charles Holden station, Sudbury Town has an elegance and simplicity to be enjoyed more on each visit. Holden's rebuilt station opened in 1932.

East Finchley

The station itself is a joy with its curvy glass towers, but it is the sculptural archer who most often attracts the camera lens. His aim is through the Northern line tunnel to Morden, once the longest tunnel in the world if trivia books are to be believed.

Westminster

Another Jubilee line extension station, Westminster is a cat's cradle of concrete-clad beams and wandering escalators.
