Southwark Underground Station, London, England

Gosh, another weekend has come and gone and we are back to Monday, where does it go? Anyway, I couldn't resist in in uploading another image from Southwark Underground Station during my recent visit to London. Similar POV to my other image I uploaded from this location however tried it in Landscape orientation rather than portrait. I do like the other image but prefer this one as I feel it gives you a sense of scale and the perfection that the architect was looking for.

I didn't want to do too much editing to this image as I feel I want it to be as natural as possible, if anything again I have added a slight analog effect to the overall image. I harder contrast image colour or B&W image just does not work in my opinion as it brings out details in the stonework that makes it look untidy and distracts the user from the overall image. Of course this is my opinion and if you have photographed this location you may not agree.

I've certainly got my London Underground bug back again and want to get down to the capital or any city with a Underground system as soon as possible!

Happy Monday all!

Location Information
Southwark tube station is a London Underground Jubilee line station in the London Borough of Southwark at the corner of Blackfriars Road and The Cut. It is between the Waterloo and London Bridge stations and is in Travelcard Zone 1. It was opened on 20 November 1999 as part of the Jubilee Line Extension. The station is somewhat west of historic Southwark, which is served by Borough tube station and London Bridge station.

The original plan for the Extension did not include a station between those at Waterloo and London Bridge; Southwark station was added after lobbying by the local council. Although it is close to Waterloo, not near the Bankside attractions it was intended to serve, and its only National Rail interchange is to London Waterloo East mainline station; the passenger usage matches those of other minor central stations. It does however get over double the traffic of nearby Borough station and around triple Lambeth North.
