going into street view on google maps and earth, you will see this, just outside Earl Court Station:
the nice thing is, you can doubleclick and actually enter it.
and this is what it looks on the inside you can actually walk around in it.

Re: Eearl Court Road, London
Well, lots of Double Clicking (google maps running inside Firefox 22.0) and I have failed completely to get into it (my daughter is a potty Whovian so this is important!)

Re: Eearl Court Road, London
that bloke looks like he's just noticed something pinchable in that shop's skip!
OT: Not sure if everyone's seen this, but it's googlemaps/streetview of the abandoned island of Hashima, i don;t know how to lkink to it directly, but if you go here and click the 'view larger map' link underneath the 360 degree photo you can get there - it's a bit like a real life Ravenholm or something, with out the zombies of course.

Re: Eearl Court Road, London
It seems they replaced the image. In the one I'm seeing currently there is a bloke standing in front of the police box who isn't there in your screen grab.Wyvern Mommy wrote:right now i can't get in either, but obviously i could earlier.

Also, there seem to have been some road works going on. In all the photographs of the station there is a fence separating the box and the bus stop (or whatever that is behind it) from the street.

Re: Eearl Court Road, London
Its been there for years. I've got photos of it taken a few years ago (can't find them right now).
There's a few around the country. Check out this search on Flickr:

It was built in 1997 according to Wiki - and the easter egg in google maps is mentioned too.JazHaz wrote:Its been there for years.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Re: Eearl Court Road, London
I remember there being one there in the 1980's, so the current one must've replaced the orginal.Cody wrote:It was built in 1997 according to Wiki - and the easter egg in google maps is mentioned too.JazHaz wrote:Its been there for years.
