The length of Angel Tube Station's escalator compared with other long ones around the world. Angel's escalator is 60m in length. Ploshchad Lenina in St Petersburg is 137m, making it joint longest in the world, along with two others on the St. Petersburg Metro. And the smallest is the Puchicalator in Japan, at 83.4cm!

So there you have it. Not so long anymore, right?

Still, I’ve not seen anyone ski down the others…
