Trivia question: where is it?
« on: February 22, 2014, 10:24:45 pm »
A curious architectural feature and an amusing trivia question:

There is somewhere in London, adorning a building related to public transport, an architectural feature that looks like something out of the world of electrical engineering.

Can you identify where and what it is?

Be very wary! That is an extremity of a prostrate Dalek.

Looks very similar to Hangar lane station, but Hangar lane dose not have the Ht insulator on top, my grandmother used to live near there.

Ah yes, hiding the personal transport type UFO's in plain sight.
