4 goes very deep so it doesn't look like access to an underground railway.  And there are no adverts or signs so again it doesn't look like the London underground.
I'm going to guess that it might be a pedestrian tunnel under a river somewhere, and not necessarily even in Britain.

Well thought out ... but maybe it is a metro station after all: Baixa-Chiado in Lisbon. (We do know where Graham's been recently, after all.)

The flooring and seating inside and the asphalt outside do look like a railway station somewhere in Britain.  As for the source of the plant container and plants, I defer to my learned colleague.

It's odd how we get used to seeing something from a particular viewpoint. There was something about 6 that nagged at me. I have used Havant station for over 60 years, off and on, but don't ever remember having seen it from that direction. The two shelters outside the station I just try and mentally delete, so out of place next to a classic Southern design.
