Behind me is one of London's shortest-lived tube stations.
York Road opened in 1906 and closed in 1932 after barely 25 years in service, and chances are you've probably passed through it without even noticing.
As you can see, it's all closed up, but it's still instantly recognisable.
It was designed by Leslie Green, the architect behind the red Piccadilly line facades, and it started its life as part of the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway, a really, really long lane that's taken me ages to say.
In the early 1900s, this area was very different to how it is today.
It was full of warehouses, coal depots and so-called slum housing, and the idea was that a station here would help serve the local workforce.
So, how did we get here?
Well, to start, it simply would have been too expensive for a lot of people in the area back in the day.
It would have cost around a penny for a single journey, which doesn't sound like a lot in today's money, but would have added up to a noticeable chunk of people's wages back in the day.
Second, the only way down was by lift or by stairs.
