Baker Street station opened in 1863 making it one of the oldest (if not the oldest) stations still operating in London. On this platform the glass oval windows were originally open shafts to let light in and the fumes from the coal fired engines out.

They have been looking after it well Mo, how wonderful it would be to see it back then in 1863 with the hustle, bustle and steam everywhere!
This is one of the things that improves with age. :)
Looks good for it's age.
It looks still very nice, even rather modern.
Tough job getting around the London Underground, but the stations have such a lovely ambience
Looks great Mo.
I remember this station very well. This is a beautiful shot of it.
Great photo, its a station I have not been to.
Cool station, Mo!
Your subway photos make the stations seem much more beautiful than I remember. Either they have been cleaned up since I was last there, or your photographic skills are creating the impression of beauty.
This old station sure has been kept up well....it looks so damn good compared to most of the stations here in NYC *( some of which are so grungy and ramshackle and with crumbling parts of the ceiling in places..
There are some newer stations and parts of NYC stations that look pretty good but this Baker Street one is really a handsome place..or your photographic skill makes it look that way, Great shot!
wow, interesting , i like the windows :)
It looks really good!
