#21 Who gives a sh#t? This is too much of a stretch, and is only there to point out some insignificant woman no one's ever heard of, or needs to...

#4 I don't think the signs are working. The piss stains on the bricks really stand out.
#15 Proof that gentrification is a good thing.

Not to be rude, but very little of this is "fascinating." Obscure, certainly. Mildly interesting, maybe. I'd wager very few tourists would go out of their way to see a grate in the street (#7), or a tiny bishop's hat in a wall (#29).

There Is An Abandoned Train Station Because It Was Too Small For The Traffic Of People Wanting To Visit The Tower Of London

Most people walking past here have no idea there's an abandoned station hiding in plain sight. This is Mark Lane ghost station and if you look up on the corner, you can just about make out "Mark Lane Station Entrance" in faded writing. In 1882 a Tower of London Station opened on the site of today's Tower Hill. But after only 2 years another station was built on this site. The name comes from an important Medieval street that still survives today and can be seen on the Agas map in the 16th century. The station's buildings were rebuilt in the early 1900s but the station was too small for  all the people wanting to visit the Tower of London. It closed in the 1960s when the new Tower Hill was built and today it's an All Bar One. However, you can still see a glimpse of the ghost station. Traveling between the monument and Tower Hill keep your eyes peeled for the abandoned platforms.
