I've managed to build the Tube Station over the past couple of days.

The inspiration; Lambeth North Station:


Here is the front:


The rear, with a small amount of detail on it:


I've changed a few things around, most significantly moving the entrance to the central arch.  I've also added a newspaper kiosk on one side and a florist on the other. There are a few more details to be added (shop signs etc), most likely after most of the painting has been done.

Brilliant!  :-*

Is Cowley Road a homage, or is there such a station?

I think I recognize it. That's the one where you get of when you are heading to the Imperial War Museum, isn't it?

It is indeed. Interesting that someone in Sweden was the first to notice.  :)
