Not The Tube Olympics

The epicentre of antimackerel

St. John's Wood Jubilee Line

There's salmon fishy going on. The cod have scampi'd to a batter plaice, the haddock have had their chips, and even the piano tuna decided to hake for the sea. Why? Because everyone knows the universe is made of two things - mackerel and the absence of mackerel - and this particular Tube station takes the latter to extremes. It is the only station on the network whose name contains none of the letters from the word "mackerel". You have been warned.

(It's worth noting that both the photographer and the lady in the background survived the experience, but neither were completely unscathed.)

Giving no thought to my own personal safety, I was present at this bringing-together of mackerel and anti-mackerel. Fortunately, the universe didn't collapse in on itself. Anyway, I can confirm that it was all very exciting.
