Hi Snail

So you've been here! Yes, you recall well, Tottenham Court Road Station is worth visiting to look at the amazing dazzling bright tiled designs by - moment of blankness here, but I think Eduardo Paolozzi. Very bright colours and the designs are supposed to represent the atmosphere of T.C.Road which has always been an area of shops selling hi-fi, audio, etc - nowadays computer stuff as well, so lots of zig-zag dazzle in the patterns.

It's a station I usually avoid if I can - some of them are busier and more chaotic than others - but now I think I need another look at the platforms!
