Secrets of the District Line



Geoff Marshall shares his favourite bits of Tube trivia from the District Line. In which ticket hall can you find a swastika? Which station changes name from one platform to the next? Where does the Underground go over the Overground?

Thanks to Londonist.

    Urban Design says: "The tiled floor is of an interesting asymmetrical art deco abstract design of the Indian symbol for peace - a Sanskit swastika."
