The twin circular arcs supporting the screens remind me of the contraption (also in the middle of a roundabout) visible from SWT trains looking north at Wandswoth Town station, which is the doppleganger of the alien machine from the movie Contact.

[CrunchySaviour]

the alien machine from the movie Contact.

Do you mean the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, also used in GoldenEye? It's one of my favourite structures.

[Going Underground]
