things London does not really need more of: – pret a mangers – lime bikes – district line branches
in fact I’m increasingly of the belief that the Edgware Road-Wimbledon route should be spun off into its own line (that’s all the rage these days I’ve heard)
and lying on that route is quiet, gentle Wimbledon Park. The actual park next door is fantastic, but is the tube station?
Why is the district line need so many branches it’s like pretto M I’m not reviewing every Pratt uh but I am reviewing Wimbledon Park is a gentle Affair that shares a lot in Wimbledon common with southfields one stop up the line the majority of the platform is
Just a wide paved space with the only real thing of notes being a be friendly planter in the middle though the trees and grassy verges soften the feel a bit the covered end of the platform isn’t anything extraordinary but I find it quite cozy helped particularly by this
Lovely bit of Pros about London’s trees and the color scheme of mustard yellow and Pine Green is fantastic particularly in this old waiting room despite the Sleepy feel there is also lift access to the platforms the ticket Hall is small but with some nice decorative touches and there’s a Dutch Gable on the
Exterior in fact whilst there’s not a huge amount going on I find this a very calm place which means I’m sure that regular commuters are now shouting at me what the hell are you talking about anyway it’s going to be a pretty strong B tier for me

no please review every pret in london
Oh are you from Norwich? I've moved here from London and this is a little reminder of home.
Is it an unstaffed station?
Review every Wetherspoons at least
Gotta be an A tier for being the start of one of the best sections of the London Capital Ring walk (so long as you're doing it clockwise).
Did you go inside the newsagent next door? That’s a trip! Rudest man on this planet of ours 😂
where can we see your tears? 😂
My local! Calm vibes is about right. And tbh it's not even a bad commute. Not exactly peaceful but y'know could be worse
cool station
I love this series I wish you were more popular on YouTube
Wimbledon Park used to have a signal box on the Wimbledon end of the platform if you watch citytransportinfo.

The Ealing Broadway branch is being considered to be removed in a few years so all those extra trains can go to Wimbledon and Richmond. Then there'd only really be 2 branches. Ealing Broadway could then be served by all the extra Pic Line trains coming soon. Good plan imo, increases the frequency of the central pic section and a much higher frequency for the other 2 district branches.
This series is so underrated
Have all of the district line’s rickety, nerve shattering trains been decommissioned now?
The most satisfying bit about Wimbledon Park is being on a train going to Wimbledon and hearing the track joints as you pass over them
Why are you filming in the forest in the beginning, feels very not London Underground… 😅
Nice video but why say "the majority of the platform" when there's nothing 'countable' in what you are describing?
Blimey! You had me at lift. Plus I've been audio binging Richard E. Grant reading The Wombles on BBC Radio 4. I've not been but hope to go soon. 🧣
Nice one.
