012 - South Kensington
Best known as the station for visitors to the Victoria and Albert, Natural History and Science museums, South Kensington was the focus of a bitter rivalry between the Metropolitan and District railway companies culminating in a tug of war between two trains. The station has also been the subject of many uncompleted plans including the deep level District line, numerous proposals for railways on the route of what's now the pedestrian subway to the museums, and commercial redevelopments of the station building.
