Summary

[edit]
Description Seen from Portchester Terrace, which runs parallel to Leinster Gardens W2.

Andrew Martin's book on the Underground gives a good account of how it came about; Conan Doyle also used a fictionalised version of it in one of his Sherlock Holmes stories, where a murderer dumps a body onto a train here, which is only discovered when the train reaches Aldgate...
