Londoners have revealed their favourite Tube stations and the reasons why they love their chosen stops.

A curious commuter asked fellow city dwellers to choose their favourite Undergound station before hailing "Star Wars-esque" Westminster as their stop of choice.

“Tell me what little nuances (or big nuances) make your favourite station your favourite. Not necessarily limited to tube stops, if a particular DLR/Overground/National Rail takes your fancy, tell me why,” they wrote on reddit.

“I haven't even nearly been to all of the stations, but I think mine is Westminster. I love the way you can see through the levels at the escalators and I like the aesthetic of all the silver, even if it is a little ‘millennium'," they added.

From Westminster’s “Star Wars-esque” exterior to a “gorgeous” 155 year old platform at Baker Street, Londoners were quick to back their favourites.

One person wrote: “From the ones I've been to, I'd have to agree on Westminster, I think it's sorta (sic) Star Wars-esque and it makes a change from regular tiled corridors in my opinion.”

Another person said: “Fosters VS Hopkins battle of the better tube station. I'd go with Westminster.”

Others quickly chimed in praising the central London hub.

One person said: “It’s really awesome being able to see the verticality and how the whole structure fits together.”

Fellow commuters debated the benefits of more traditional, old-fashioned designs.

One person wrote: "My absolute favourite has to be the Circle and Hammersmith & City line platforms at Baker Street Station. 155 years old and absolutely gorgeous."

Tube enthusiasts debated a need for practicality or choice of food vendors and appearance.

One person said: “Westminster for looks.

“Clapham J (Junction) for awesome sausage rolls

“West Hamstead for sweet £5 full English.”

Farringdon's open-planned design and ease of access to both the Overground and Underground won it high praise.

“I really like Farringdon. It's so light and feels so open. The colour of the bricks and the Thameslink trains being next to and slightly below the underground trains,” one person wrote.

“Not sure I have an out and out favourite... But I love the interchange from Victoria line to Bakerloo line at Oxford Circus, straight across the platform, and with the regularly of Victoria line trains you can be in and out in a minute," another added.

Chiswick Park was a firm favourite with one Londoner.

They said: “I could get a seat there when Gunnersbury started getting insanely busy and having to temporarily stop people from going down to the platform. Plus you can get a view of the London skyline from the end of the platform.”

Special mentions went to Clapham North for its “greenery” and Bermondsey for its easy access.

One person said: “Bermondsey, you go down and then you're on the platform just like that. No faff. Southwark is also good. Basically a lot of the Jubilee stations when they extended the line are cool.”
