The South Ken sign is a favourite of mine, on its own merit, but also because it reminds me of all the museums nearby, aka Albertopolis.

The trains on the Isle of Wight are using old tube trains..

Anon, I've been on those trains - and felt quite disorientated to be on a tube carriage so far from home!

Mike, that's a good point - it's an amazing bit of London. Every time I visit them, I'm amazed again at the museums.
