What do London Underground stops taste like? - Telegraph

Mornington Crescent tastes like fruit flan. Bond Street tastes like hairspray. Acton Town tastes like Ritz crackers. Highbury & Islington tastes like Dr. Pepper. Burnt Oak tastes like roast chestnuts.

"James Wannerton tastes words when he reads or hears them thanks to a neurological condition called synaesthesia that links senses which are normally experienced separately.

"He first noticed each Underground station created a distinct taste aged four when travelling to school with his mother from the family home near Willesden, north London.

"Since then Mr Wannerton has continued to keep notes and make special trips to London after leaving the city to complete his 'taste map' of the Tube. The 49-year project was finally completed earlier this year. "
