The underground station Belsize park. Barbara took the undergorund from here everyday to go to Southhampton row, where the art college is. To reach the trains you can chose between taking an manually operated elevator or taking a very steep and long staircase. Barbara often took the stairs as she did not like to be in the crowded elevator cabin.
