On a warm August Saturday, I realised that time was running out to capture the Pride roundels on the Tube network. Teaming up with Shades, in an effort to visit as many of them as I could find, I hurried some frantic Googling and then set off on an adventure around London. Our first port of call was Westminster, as the TFL website had the tube station listed as being one of the sites with the rainbow emblazoned roundel. This turned out to be Fake News, as Hammersmith (a station not on the TFL’s list) was the one that was showing its Pride first. So as Westminster’s tube roundel was already in the list of Pupped Stations we took a ride down to Hammersmith to get the first Pride roundel of the day.

From there we tackled the roundel at Highbury & Islington, which was surprisingly easy to find… H&I became a small hub briefly while we tackled the next roundels but in order to do so, there was a spell of train changing that required a jaunt on the Northern Line, so we had a chance to grab Leicester Square station as we traveled. So the opportunity was taken while we went on to our next destination…
