OXFORD CIRCUS

Stuck on the corner of Oxford Street and Regents Street this station is perhaps the busiest on the whole underground system as it serves as the hub to two of the most recognised streets on the tourist map.

Away from the congestion this is actually a very exciting and vibrant part of London to surface at even despite the increasing sense of Chav that is attaching itself to Oxford Street.

Head South through Argyl Street and you will Great Marlborough Street and soon be in Carnaby Street on your way to deepest darkest Soho as you zone in on Leicester Square.

WEMBLEY PARK

This is the station just opposite Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena. As a result it can get really busy for a station situated in such a grubby part of London.

The station houses a set of steps that Rocky Balboa would have been proud to run up.

SHEPHERD’S BUSH

Shepherd’s Bush is in East London is close to the BBC, has a green and now houses the Westfield shopping centre. I used to study there and it was fun as when I glimpsed out of the toilet window I could see the floodlights of Loftus Road (the home of Queens Park Rangers) and if we were situated in the right classroom we would be able to spot the BBC from our classroom window.
