Crazy Tube Stop: Swiss Cottage

The kooky assignments just keep on coming. This week? The name of the game was Crazy Tube Stop.

You look confused. What's the Tube, you ask? 'Tube' is British for 'subway,' 'metro.' Why are there stops that could be considered crazy, you wonder? Well, the London Underground system has hundreds of stops, some with crazy, funny, or just plain inappropriate names: Cockfosters, to name an example.

Not My Picture

As a salute to the (mostly) easy and effective public transportation system and its iconic presence in everyday London life, we were assigned a Tube stop with a funny name. Most likely a place we've never been before. Mine, as the title of this post rightly suggests, was Swiss Cottage, a name which can be construed in a variety of different ways: as two types of cheese, as an actual cottage in Switzerland...er...um...that's about it.

This is what came of it.
