Herne Hill Station already has a piano - used by loads of talented locals - how about turning the unused space on the platforms into an ENERGY GARDEN? 

The ENERGY GARDEN plan is to "transform as many as 50 London Overground platforms and stations into thriving gardens that will incorporate food growing plots and solar energy, providing on-site renewable energy for lighting, water pumps or other small scale station amenities.
