Buy a subway station in London

this is actually pretty cheap by London standards. If I had the loot, I'd actually buy this fucking thing.




from bldgblog - http://bldgblog.bl...-tube-station.html

"Situated at the junction with Code Street and Pedley Street adjacent to Allen Gardens," the auctioneers explain, "[t]he property is within a popular residential area with its many trendy shops, bars and restaurants." For instance, "Brick Lane is within easy walking distance and Old Spitalfields Market is close by."

The single-floor building, pictured above, courtesy of the auctioneers, "comprises a ticket office, a lobby area, store rooms, plant rooms and a WC." Owning a former Tube station with an address on Code Street would be an amazing thing, indeed. BLDGBLOG would move its offices there in a heartbeat.

That's just the guide price mind, it could go to some insane looking prices in the end up!

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

Wikipedia says it's just sold today for 665k. It sounds like the track used to be in an open cut that's been filled in, so no actual underground bits?

Turn off the internet and go play outside.

That's correct, it's just a derelict building that used to be a ticket office for a station that's no longer there, for a line that's no longer there. Lots of hype for not a lot of anything.

If it still had the underground bits I would have been interested. I would of built a house (if I had the money haha).
