Edward Johnston in the early design of the Underground typeface, but dropped
out of the project before it was completed.

The sculpture of Prospero and Ariel from Shakespeare’s The Tempest by Eric Gill is over the entrance of BBC Broadcasting House near Oxford Circus. It was said that the sculptor had emphasised Ariel's reproductive organ beyond necessity, later Gill modified the size...

One sunny day at a riverbank

Embankment & Victoria have a garden and its called "Victoria Embankment Garden".
And this is located just next to Embankment station. Great place for picnic.

Those who not live in London, please put your favorite music on and go to a 360 degree tour on City of Westminster Website.

... by the way, Embankment and his brother Charing X changed their name too many times to the point no one remembers how to address them correctly anymore. XD

My best fiend?

The shortest distance between adjacent stations is between Leicester Square station and Covent Garden station, only 0.16 miles (1.25km / 285 yards), so it's quicker to walk rather than taking Piccadilly line to access to each other.
The closest stations.

...Whether they like it or not...

The two completely different characters have been live side by side since 1907.
Leicester is very much fond of films while Covent G is enjoying Operas.
Sometimes get into an quarrel, sometimes enjoy their companies, the unlike duo has woven
their histories.
