Hyde Park Corner
Original tiled wall sign on the eastbound platform at Hyde Park Corner, Piccadilly Line, dating from the line and station's opening in 1906, on 6th May 2019. For many years, these signs at this and other deep-level London Underground 'tube' stations were covered up by advertising hoardings but those have happily now been removed. These also include stations that were later renamed, e.g. also on the Piccadilly Line at Arsenal, renamed in 1932 after some football club, apparantly, the original 1906 tiled wall name Gillespie Road is now also back on display.
