My guess would've been Scotland, or possibly Wales. Where, to be fair, they have steeper funiculars. But those aren't really on the main-line passenger rail.
There's also the possibility to pop by Canary Wharf. It is, well, kinda new and all. But, the tube station is basically designed to look like a ship wrapped inside out and upside-down (the ceiling in the station is sort of supposed to evoke the feeling of a keel, and the station entrances are intended to evoke sails). Can't really speak for the Liz Purp (I mean "Crossrail") since I remigrated to Sweden before that opened. There also used to be some old industrial pre-modern-Canary Wharf buildings around.
And there's also a bird sanctuary, with interesting bridge fundaments (and no bridge) between East India (DLR) and Canning Town (Jubilee Line, DLR). OK, so it's probably been 10-12 years since I last walked that stretch, so the bridge fundaments may no longer be there. But Google Maps claims that both Bow Creek and Limmo Peninsula Ecological Parks are still there. Maybe a 5-10 minute walk from Canning Town station.
