LU Wander

[dhouk]

Hi all,

I'm in London on Friday with a day to myself (never happens!) and now the tube strikes have been called off I'm thinking of getting a day travelcard before they are withdrawn.

With a whole day to wander and explore the network both tube, overground and NR, are there any stops recommended (Z1-6?) to view older parts of the network or points of interest?
I've added Baker St, Bayswater and the obvious ones, but wonder if theres any other stations/lines/areas of interest? Particular around historical infrastructure?

Many Thanks for your combined knowledge here!!

Some particularly interesting/scenic ones
-Waterloo and City Line
-Elizabeth line docklands (and the stations)
-Northern Line extension to battersea
-East London line Canada Water-whitechapel
-Charing Cross & Leicester square
-Earl's Court (and Gloucester Road if the art's still up)
-District line Putney Bridge-East Putney
-Circle line Hammersmith-Paddington OR West london line Kensington-Willesden

If you have the time I'd recommend any of these places visited by the famous @geofftech

Some of the Holden-era stations at surface level, if you're into the architecture.

The Central Line ex GER to Epping (and the ex GNR High Barnet branch).
