It was an invention purely for the film, as rightly stated above. No, you don’t have photos from a real station named Union Street – it never existed.

You can still see quite a lot of the material used in this film, including the fake Union Street sign and a Tube map with the station added.

The London Underground map that's shown on the wall of the station in the film has been subtly altered to include the fictional station. The station has been inserted into the Northern Line between Borough and Elephant & Castle. Whereas in the actual map it's a straight diagonal between the two stations, in the film there's a bend added, with "Union Street" on the bend. After that the map returns to normal. As to where it was filmed (if anywhere other than just a set), I've been unable to find out. I can add a bit more information to this, after a bit of sleuthing.
