BTW the minaret which appears to be on the station is actually that of the mosque next door.

And the steel arch above the 06:53 is Wembley Stadium, home of English football
Why it's name "green" ? And what are you doing so early ? 🙂
It wasn't that early, about 08:00.

Why Green? Well, the term Green in a place name usually means a piece of open or common land, traditionally where people would graze their animals. Now I don't know whether the Green in Willesden is old or whether it was simply used by Victorian property developers to make the area sound more desirable.
