Next weekend I'm going to a tube-station-themed party! Any good ideas for costumes?

Either for me, or for me and liv together.

I can think of a few ideas, but none really stand out.

AIUI, the theme is primarily on tube stations, but including DLR and overground, and something related is probably ok, but not what the main focus is.

What's the best idea you can think of? What's the worst idea you can think of? :)

If the guests are SF-oriented enough to get it, go as Morden from Babylon 5?

I think you & [personal profile] liv should fight it out over who gets to be the Elephant and who gets to be the Castle.

Worst idea: Heathrow, Terminals 1,2,3.

I'm working on an idea that if one of you has a bow[*] and one has a sling then you'd be 'arrow and Wield stone. This is possibly too awful a pun to live.

[*](not Bow, that needs a Bromley)

Could do a bow and an apple?

What you need is a compass, and a scene from a play to overact. Then you could be West Ham and East Ham.

If you allow the DLR, then I'm sure you could do something utterly dreadful with Custom House for ExCeL.

If you just wanted to win, you could make a T-Shirt with three things on it, in sequence: a sunrise, a big weight, and a phase of the moon.

Worst idea I can think of to go as is Mudchute. No contest. Possible costumes start at pretty bad and just go downhill from there.

A few easy and less obvious ones to go at might be: Burnt Oak, Oval, Redbridge.

Liv might carry off Victoria, if that took her fancy.

If you wanted to terrify people, get some weapons and go as an Arsenal.

Massive backcombed hairdo/wig and go as High Barnet.

Arsenal, with a lot of LARP weapons? Might be inconvenient to carry round a party though. (Or Bank, with lots of fake money, along similar lines.)

I would probably go as Kew Gardens.

You could dress in purple, yellow, pink & green and go as the near-surface lines.
