Alternative Uses
The station was used as a location in the 2008 film The Escapist, as a fictional London Underground station called "Union Street", which was said to be on the Northern Line between Elephant & Castle and Borough. Remains of the film props, such as a fake tube map and a Union Street tube roundel, can still be seen pasted to the walls of the station. The props date from 2008, and are not part of the original station.
In 2009 the subway and station was the venue for an art installation, Chord, by Conrad Shawcross.
