Some stations fared better than others when Tube enthusiast Tom Rees travelled through the TfL network armed with a GoPro camera. Canary Wharf ranked among his favourite stations thank so its ‘sci-fi’ architecture, while he found Barking station ‘quite a miserable place.’.

Originally from rural Shropshire, the 29-year-old marketing operations manager was drawn to the Tube because of Londoners’ ability to ‘zip around the city.’. He explained why the Tube has captivated him: ‘The idea of just being able to turn up on a platform and be whisked away to a distant corner of this massive city, it was always something that I found very exciting when I visited London growing up.’.
His fascination with the mass transportation system grew since moving to Islington, north London, in 2017. The following year, he set on the mammoth task of ‘doing a review of these stations with a more subjective take.’. He spent around 20 minutes at each station, including those at the end of each line such as Chesham at the end of the Metropolitan line in zone 9, Epping on the Central line and Upminster along the District line.
