Welcome aboard!

Autumn 2010, two Japanese Manga artists, Chie Kutsuwada and Inko decided to start personification of tube stations in London.

Here in GoGo Metro!, you might have a chance to meet your local station in person...?!

Check out who they are and what they're up to!

#INKtober 26 - Charing Brothers again!

Today’s #INKtober is Charing Brothers!
Charing Cross is reaching out for an appeal that he wants to be your friends, but his way of showing affection is a bit odd that you might find him eccentric.
Normally his brother Embankment has got a good care of him, but at the moment their connection is bad, which mean, who would get a control of Charing Cross!?

#INKtober 25 - Embankment & Victoria


Today’s #INKtober is Embankment and Victoria. They have lovely river side walk way called Victoria Embankment, and gardens called Victoria Embankment Gardens.
They share the same interests on gardening and boating.

#INKtober 24 - Charing Brothers


Today’s #INKtober is Embankment & Charing Cross aka The Charing Brothers! Look how complicated their history is! Sure none of their friends remember which name is which!

#Inktober 18 - Embankment

Today's #INKtober is Embankment!
Mr. nice guy but no one can correctly remember his name, because he changed too many times!!!
Charing Cross [1870] → Embankment[1906] →Charing Cross (Embanment) [1914]→ Charing Cross [1915]→ Charing Cross Embankment[1974] then finally named Embankment[1976].

His brother Charing Cross doesn't even looks like himself, but constantly people mixed up their names.

Noisy visitors



* MASTER GILL - Eric Gill. A British sculptor, typeface designer. Gill had collaborated with
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

While Tottenham is away from Leicester...



At the moment, Northern line is not stopping at Tottenham c.r. station, which means Tottenham hasn't got connections to Leicester Sq & Goodge Street. While the best friend Tottenham is away, Leicester has got more time to hang around by himself...

A man with a depth, Embank₥ent


A man who used to known as so many different names.
Finally he settled down with the current name, "Embank₥ent", but Tottenham ₡ourt Road has never been bothered remembering it.
The man with the depth, as other stations say that he sometimes goes off to a riverside and quietly sit down on a bench into his thought. He doesn't speak much but as you get know him better, you'll find more about his character.

His peaceful life sometimes hilariously ruined by Tottenham ₡ourt Road, Leicester $quare and ₱iccadilly Circus. XD

I wonder if Victoria ever realised that he secretly in love with her...?
