Near the junction of Earls Court Gardens. The person on the motor scooter (centre shot)is a prospective taxi driver doing "The Knowledge".

This is the "hub" of the District Line. There are several branches to it, but they all meet here. The railway runs underground here, but quite close to the surface.

Earl's Court Road entrance. This station was built before the formation of London Underground, hence the now defunct names of the railways on the sign. Other points to note : the Internet Cafe signboard is being held by a person, whose job it is to do nothing else but stand there and display the advertisement. These jobs are very common in London. There is also a Police Box across the road, near the roadworks -- not a common sight these days!

This shows the subsurface station which is served by District and Circle Line trains: the Piccadilly Line, which has true 'tube' trains, is far underground.

Still showing gaps where long-defunct destinations (Hounslow West) or limited stop services have been removed.

Detail of the cab of a District line service from Wimbledon to Edgware Road as it prepares to leave. The signal indicates green and you can just see the white light of the junction indicator at the top - telling the driver that the road is set for the High Street Kensington route. Two maintenance people can be seen behind the cables in front of the train. Passengers can be seen climbing the stairs behind the train to the booking hall above and the exit onto Earls Court Road.

Apart from possibly being repainted, these indicators are still as I remember them from the 1950s and have escaped being replaced by modern LED signs. They're probably listed or something.

Passengers wait for the right train on the westbound platforms. On the left is a District Line train bound for Richmond. At the end of the platform is the ticket hall on Earls Court Road.

This hotel is in Penywern Road, just around the corner from Earl's Court tube station.
