I was stupidly excited about doing this bit.

Arriving at Waterloo we follow signs to the W&C - often been curious about the tube's shortest line. Also, our route brought us above ground underneath a chicken-wire elephant. I have no idea why this particular creature stands guard here:


The Waterloo and City - The Drain - links Waterloo and Bank, and that's it. But then, I've been told that more people arrive and depart through Waterloo daily than there were troop movements around Europe in the Second World War, and a lot of them are going to want to head to the City Proper.

There's very little signage on the platform - I was hoping for one of those boards that tells you all the stops, but I guess there's very little point for the W&C, everyone pretty muh knows where they're going, and if you fall asleep there's a fifty-fifty chance of where you'll wake up. It's also such a pretty colour...a nice turquoise shade of aqua, very relaxing - so here's me strap hanging instead.
