Hammersmith & City Line
The Hammersmith & City Line snakes its way through some industrial buildings in this square. This is the site of the new White City station on the Hammersmith & City Line, which is currently being built to the left hand side of the line in the picture, to avoid having to demolish the adjacent building.

That must have cost a lot of money, but I expect they go faster now.....

Bramley Road, North Kensington
The second-hand shop has an amusing name, although most of its stock seems to be out on the pavement. The bridge carries the Hammersmith & City Line.

Latimer Road station
Latimer Road station opened on 16th December 1868 at a junction formed between two existing railway lines – the Hammersmith & City Railway opened on 13th June 1864 (owned by the Great Western Railway and running between Westbourne Park and Hammersmith stations) and the West London Railway (WLR) opened on 1st July 1864 to Addison Road (now Kensington Olympia). The link to Addison Road was closed on 19th October 1940 and the junction no longer exists.
Trains on the Hammersmith & City Line serve the station and now also, in an effort to improve its reliability, the Circle Line. The next station in this direction is Wood Lane. The afternoon was quite as miserable as it looks in the photograph.

Outside Latimer Road Underground Station (1)
South side of the bridge. Looking across Bramley Road along Hurstway Walk towards Grenfell Tower (both Lancaster West Estate). Latimer Road itself is not actually very near the station of the same name though I suspect the building of the nearby A3220 West Cross Route meant much of the road was demolished. A look at the 1940s map shows a very different scene.
