A scenic stop where the trees are calm and your lungs are not.
The Green Suburban Sanctuary
- The station is so green it feels like a spa for commuters.
- The hill is not a feature, it is a warning.
- People arrive here looking serene and leave looking like they fought gravity personally.
- The platform is quiet, except for the sound of someone reconsidering city life.
- It is the kind of station where you hear birds and internal monologues.
The Altitude Training Program
- The footbridge doubles as an altitude training program.
- Locals say “it is lovely up here” like they are trying to recruit you.
- The train view is beautiful enough to distract from your unread emails.
- The vibe is “countryside” until a delay announcement snaps you back.
- Everyone carries a tote bag like it is part of the uniform.
Elevated South London Living
- The station benches are for thinking, or pretending to think.
- The pigeons here look more educated.
- The air feels cleaner, which makes you suspicious.
- There is always one person reading a book like they are performing culture.
