Photographing escalators with their tops off is a frustratingly difficult task as they tend to have a decency preserving curtain around the defrocking works that are going on.
A few have been visible this weekend though. Click on photos for larger versions.

A new set of escalators being installed at Waterloo for their new raised shopping area.
And the same set from a distance
The old escalators that used to take passengers between Waterloo East and the main station. Photo taken when peering through an observation window.
And finally, the escalators that run up to Westminster Circle/District Line westbound from the Jubilee Line have works going on. Invisible from the sides, but the escalators are in a glass box, so easy to look down on.
SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE
This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
Thank you
phoar, look at the steps on that!
Get yourself down to Bermondsey underground station. It has a privacy curtain but you can look down on it from street level through the glass. Hopefully that will satisfy your urges! đŸ™‚
Cor, look at that, how dirty
