This is an interior shot of the Liverpool Street Station. It is a redeveloped station (I think, I should look that up).

It houses a tube station as well as rail and bus connections. Its right next to a regenerating area. Spitalfield (thanks for the edit, Dad) market is not far away - remember the post about Bubba's Arkasas BBQ? That was in Spitalfields. The market is full of trendy young designer booths. It was fun visiting the market again, still didn't visit Bubba's though. Had Tapas, which was very good. Although there were ham legs drying out above your heads that was a bit disconcerting...

Back to Liverpool Station "Standing at the northern edge of the City, Liverpool Street Station is one of the capital's busiest commuter stations.

Opened in 1874, it was built for the Great Eastern Railway (GER) to serve east London, Essex and East Anglia. There was also a connection to the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground railway. The building was designed by E. Wilson, chief engineer of the GER, who also designed Gothic-style offices and entrance.

The Great Eastern Hotel, built in 1884, and extended in 1901, was designed by Charles Barry, whose father worked with Pugin on the Houses of Parliament."

OK, so now you know.
