Covent Garden in Colour

Most of time the stations' clothing are based on their platform tiling. Here you can see the Covent Garden's colouring plan is also taken from his actual tiling.
His dark blur shoes are - of cause - the symbol colour of Piccadilly Line!

Have you seen the brand new King's Cross?


King's Cross Station's brand new departure lounge has been opened for nearly a month!
There is a gigantic sign pointing at it when you come to the usual ex-departure lounge, which is now for arrival only.
It really worth seeing.

King's Cross himself is very proud of it and St Pancras & St Pancras International are puzzled for still not get used to his new appearance!

One of the most famous station - Baker Street


Probably it would be unnecessary to go on about what Baker Street is famous for here!
However, just in case people who are not familiar with Sharlock holmes, please google it now - is the most famous detective series in the world.
The main character is supposed to be living on 221b Baker Street.
Yes, there is a museum for it.
Hence, the station has a Sharlock Holmes profile as a tile design on it's walls.

Baker Street is not only the most famous station, but also one of the oldest stations.
He and Waterloo are very old friends - the Baker-loo friendship has been more than 100 years!

Baker Street actually fond of creating and collecting wax dolls, figurines. The display room is huge, the amazingly realistic dolls sometimes frighten innocent visitors... XD

Be flowerly!


Here's a new character, Kew Gardens!
She's a princess like figure with very long hair which glow from pale blond to pale green. Her voice is like a little bird tweets and somehow she's got a slight German accent.
There are always a lot of flowers on her hair. They are different for each seasons and this one you are looking at is actually Summer flowers! She loves these little Fuchsia hair ornament, which is a top fashion of the season.
Her dress, which has some Chinese influenced details, is made with lovely silk and changes its color slightly from dusk till down.
Well, generally she's a graceful and cheerful lady but in Winter time, she becomes a bit less colorful and moody than she is in Spring & Summer, obviously ;)
Many people think she doesn't like rainy day, but actually she loves it.

small but spicy - Angel




Angel looks classy - at a glance.
Always wearing posh clothings and flying around like a butterfly. Mind you, he's got a very bad mouth sometimes, and that is one of his charms.
He's a good mate of King's Cross, as they grew up side by side for 100 years. As you can see here, him, King's cross and St Pancras International weere about to go to bed in a matching night dress. :)
