Northwick Park

 


Here I am at Northwick Park on the Metropolitan Line. This is going to be a short visit as I have already visited this area when I explored Kenton on the Bakerloo Line.


From the island platform I had a good view of the Wembley Arch.



You walk down from the platform to the exits. On the walls are a number of pieces of artwork created by students from Westminster University.




The area around the station is made up of the park, the university, the hospital and you can see that Kenton station is just a 5min walk away.






There is an exit on either side of the station. This one leads out into the park and Westminster University campus. The university has four campuses. The other three are in central London but this one is a 30 min tube journey from the others. This campus focuses on fashion, media, music, film and television and art and design. 


Exit from the other side of station closest to Kenton station.

    The art works at the station are a nice touch and the last photo shows a rather unusual roundel.

    I think it is nice that the art is displayed in the station.

    All the best Jan

    The transportation system in London is just fantastically complex. I love your explanations.

    A little barren compared to previous trips around subway stations but it has a reason because you have been there once already. Fun to read and keep up the documentation of metro stations.

    Lovely account. It must be a great boost for the students to have their work displayed in this manner. It reminds that when I visit the performances at the faculty of music at Wilfrid Laurier University the next Glenn Gould or Angela Hewitt may be playing that day. The same may be true for a student who is about to make a name in the world of pictorial art.

    Such a contrast reading this post at the same time as I read your subsequent one on Harrowsgate. Hard to believe it is even the same year -- this area is so modern in tone.
