It depends what crieria you are taking.
Architectually beneath the ground, there are few that can match Gants Hill (Central Line). I am told that the huge domed roof was modelled on those of the Moscow Metro.
For above-ground architecture, is there anything that can compare with the 1930's Piccadilly Line Cockfosters extension?
But, for quaintness, what about Mill Hill East (Northern Line) with its single wooden platform perched on the viaduct high above the ground?
At the other end of the spectrum, what about the engineering magnificance of the Bank-Monument complex (Northern-District-Circle-DLR lines) with its multitude of tunnels and passageways. Without the internal direction signs, it makes the Hampton Court Maze appear to be childs-play!
Yet stand on the outer wall of the booking hall at Piccadilly Circus in the peak and marvel at the interwoven patterns that commuters make through and across the circular domain.
But, if you forced me to choose just one, then it is Gants Hill - it as to be seen to be fully appreciated

Although I love that many of the stations have tiles or pictograms representing the name of the station, Charing Cross is my favorite. On the platform itself, it has wonderful woodcut-type medieval graphics.
In the connecting passage from Trafalgar Square, there are murals of the Square from times past, depicting the changes around the square (demolition of Northumberland House; Nelson's Column, etc.) as well as paintings of old London street characters (milk maid, water seller, etc.). Also a series of naval flags showing Nelson's orders at Battle of Trafalgar.
Plus, it's right at Trafalfar Square, which means I'm probably going to (or from) St. Martin's-in-the-Fields for one of their Concerts by Candlelight; or just supper in the Crypt Cafe.
It also means I've made it back to England, and London, again from the U.S.

I like Bayswater. It was near my hotel when I stayed there in May of 2006, and it is small enough that I could get to the trains quickly. I spent 17 days in the UK, traveling by myself, and had the most wonderful time!! The Underground is terrific!! Can't wait until I have the vacation time & money to go back!

Hmm. That's a good question. I've spent a fair amount of time in Kings Cross going to & fro. I love all of the stations that have several lines running through them. It's all about the connections.

Waterloo!
Because it connects with South-West trains and when leaving/entering the station at night, the view of the London Eye lit up is amazing! =)

Love the closed stations and Mill Hill East which I expect they will close soon.
Charring X platforms are great. I have photographed both north and southbound platforms.

quite Turnham eco-friendly isn't a 'tube' station. it rather is on the underground community however the station is overground. So, do you mean Stations on the underground community, or tube stations?

Kings Cross St Pancras, as from there, I can board a mainline train home and get out of that awful city!

Kings Cross - It means I've only got to get up the escalator to catch the train back north.
