Island Gardens is a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) station next to Island Gardens on the Isle of Dogs, East London. It is just north of the River Thames and is close to the southern tip of the Isle of Dogs and the River Thames.
Island Gardens is a public park with a notable view across the river to the classical buildings of the former Greenwich Hospital and the National Maritime Museum, with Greenwich Park forming a backdrop. The northern entrance of the Greenwich foot tunnel is within the park.
The original Island Gardens DLR station was opened on 31 August 1987 as the southern terminus of the initial system, this was peranently closed 8th January 1999 and then reopened in the current position 20th November 1999, with new platforms underground.
On 10 March 1987, before the system opened, a test train crashed through buffer stops at the original high-level Island Gardens terminus and was left hanging from the end of the elevated track. The accident was caused by unauthorised tests being run before the correct installation of the wayside safety system had been verified; an omission in the wayside system allowed the train to travel too fast on the approach to the terminus. The train was being driven manually at the time. As you come out of the station entrance, turn right and there is a car repair shop/MOT garage in the arches of the start of the lines to the original station. This is how the old station used to look.

The station was opened in 1890 as part of the world's first underground electric railway and its surface building remains largely unaltered.

Two additional platforms and later several cross passages were provided for interchanges between the branches. This station is now a listed building.
The high dome roof that can be seen from the outside, used to house the lift machinery, which was removed when escalators were installed. As this used to be a terminus, there is a loop of track, which now forms part of the extension to Battersea Power Station. Some service still terminate here and will go around the loop and back, so be careful not to fall asleep on the train. Geoff Marshall video can be seen here

King's Cross St Pancras is a London Underground station on Euston Road in the Borough of Camden, Central London. It serves King's Cross and St Pancras International main line stations in fare zone 1, and is an interchange between six Underground lines, the underground station entrance is in the middle of both the main line stations. The station was one of the first to open on the network. As of 2021, it is the 4th busiest station on the network for passenger entrances and exits combined.
The mainline station opened 14th October 1852 and the Underground was opened 10th January 1863 as part of the Metropolitan Railway, subsequently catering for the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines. It was expanded in 1868 with the opening of the City Widened Lines, and the Northern and Piccadilly platforms opened in the early 20th century. During the 1930s and 1940s, the station was restructured and partially rebuilt to cater for expanded traffic. The Victoria line connection opened in 1968. The 1987 King's Cross fire that killed 31 people is one of the deadliest accidents to occur on the Underground and resulted in widespread safety improvements and changes throughout the network. The station was extensively rebuilt in the early 21st century to cater for Eurostar services that moved from Waterloo to St Pancras, reopening in 2007. The National Rail information can be found here. The King's Cross mainline station has got 11 platforms (numbered 0–10) and St. Pancras has got 15 platforms. The underground platforms are at these estimated depths: Ticket Hall 4.5 metres, Metropolitan 7.0 metres, Victoria 15.7 metres, Piccadilly 21.3 metres, Northern 27 metres.
As the station has been modified over the years, this has left the station with abandoned platforms on the King's Cross Thameslink line where they were closed and never removed.

Knightsbridge (proposed name was Sloane Street) is a London Underground station in Knightsbridge, London. It is on the Piccadilly line between South Kensington and Hyde Park Corner, and is in Travelcard Zone 1.
The station was opened on 15 December 1906 by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (GNP&BR, now the Piccadilly line). When opened, the platforms were accessed in the standard manner by four lifts and an emergency staircase connecting to parallel passageways and bridges to midway along the platforms. The original station building designed by Leslie Green was located on Brompton Road a short distance west of its junction with Knightsbridge and Sloane Street. A rear entrance was located on Basil Street.
The location of the station in a busy and fashionable shopping district meant that patronage at the station was high from the beginning, particularly due to the presence locally of the Harrods and Harvey Nichols emporiums. This contrasted with the next station on the line westward — Brompton Road — where passenger numbers were so low that from soon after its opening many trains were timetabled not to stop there. The platforms are about 22 metres below ground
It was planned that in 2022 the old lift shafts would be reinstated and a new exit created to become step free. More details can be found here. As of May 2023 the work had not been completed

London Bridge is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in Southwark, south-east London. It occupies a large area on three levels immediately south-east of London Bridge, from which it takes its name. The main line station is the oldest railway station in London fare zone 1 and one of the oldest in the world having opened in 1836. The National Rail information about this station can be found here. The National Rail station has got 15 Platforms.
The station was originally opened by the London and Greenwich Railway as a local service. It subsequently served the London and Croydon Railway, the London and Brighton Railway and the South Eastern Railway, thus becoming an important London terminus.
The first underground station at London Bridge was part of the second section of the City & South London Railway (C&SLR). The company had been formed on 28 July 1884 with the intention of constructing a line under the Thames from King William Street to Stockwell via Elephant and Castle and Kennington, which opened on 18 December 1890. No station was provided at London Bridge; the first station south of the river was at Borough. King William Street was found to be badly placed owing to a steep incline towards the station from underneath the Thames, which limited its capacity, so the station opened 25th February 1900. The Jubilee line opened 7th October 1999. The Thames Clipper service is a short walk away from this station.The underground platforms are about 24.18 metres (Northern Line) and 27.3 (Jubilee line) metres below ground.
When the station was redeveloped, it meant that the platforms are "right-hand running", which means that the trains arrive from your right, rather than the left. This can be seen on the Cartomap here.
