Farringdon
Entrance to Farringdon station, as rebuilt in 1923, on 22nd January 2019. This was the original city terminus of the world's first Underground, the Metropolitan Railway, opened on 10th January 1863 as Farringdon Street. At the time of its 1923 rebuilding, it was also renamed Farringdon & High Holborn (which can still be seen engraved on the wall on the right) but the suffix was dropped in 1936, which is somewhat odd as there is no actual district called Farringdon. The station is actually in the district of Clerkenwell and there have been suggestions over the years to rename it but, so far, to no avail.
