The London Transport Museum has announced a new batch of tours in its Hidden London series of disused parts of the London Underground.

55 Broadway: London’s First Skyscraper

Dates: 16 – 17 February & 16 – 17 March 2019

Tickets: Adult £38.50; Concession £33.50

A radical architectural milestone, which prompted much debate when unveiled in 1929, this Grade I listed structure is now acknowledged as a marvel of art deco London. Your tour will give you access to London Underground’s iconic former headquarters, and a new perspective on the capital city as you journey up 14 storeys (mostly by lift) to see beautifully designed offices, grand meeting rooms, and stunning rooftop views.

Euston: The Lost Tunnels

Dates: Wednesday – Sunday, 6 – 31 March 2019

Tickets: Adult £41.50, Concession £36.50

The tour of Euston’s lost tunnels offers visitors a glimpse of quiet and spooky passageways below Euston’s bustling station. See a gallery of preserved vintage advertising poster fragments that have been concealed for over 50 years. Learn about the newest innovations to the Tube and Network Rail station that serves over 42 million passengers each year, and witness the remains of its past before the site is transformed for the arrival of HS2.

Euston: Photography Tour

Dates: Friday – Sunday, 22 February – 3 March 2019

Tickets: Adult £100.00; Concession £95.00

Photography fans will love this tour which allows them to capture Euston’s atmospheric passages, unique architecture and style. The tour starts with access to a large operational fan room to see first hand recent developments in the station’s infrastructure, before heading underground where you will be able to explore the old passenger corridors, walk under the old lift shaft and discover hidden ventilation tunnels. This tour is especially designed for keen photographers with good working knowledge of photographic equipment who want time and access to these unique underground spaces to capture the perfect shot of Euston’s lost tunnels.

Aldwych: The End of the Line

Dates: Friday – Sunday, 15 February – 10 March 2019

Tickets: Adult £41.50, Concession £36.50

Be transported back to where time stands still. Aldwych station is one of London’s secret places, holding myths and memories of times gone by. Opened to the public in 1907, it was never heavily used and eventually closed in 1994 after almost 90 years. The station has had a varied history; from providing shelter to Londoners during the Blitz, to being used for film and TV shoots including Darkest Hour (2017), Sherlock (2014), Mr Selfridge (2013) and Atonement (2007).

Charing Cross: Access All Areas

Dates: Wednesday – Sunday, 19 January – 10 February 2019

Tickets: Adult £41.50, Concession £36.50

Explore the disused spaces of Charing Cross Underground station, and go behind closed doors to areas not accessible to the public. Walk under Trafalgar Square and see London Underground in a different light. Closed to the public since 1999, the Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross are now synonymous with movie and TV filming. This is a unique opportunity to view the sites where blockbuster movies such as Paddington Bear (2013), Skyfall (2011/12) and TV’s 24 (2014) were filmed.

Clapham South: Subterranean Shelter

Dates: Wednesday – Sunday, 26 January – 10 February & 20 March – 31 March 2019

Tickets: Adult £35.00, Concession £30.00. Matinee £30.00

Journey 180 steps underground to explore one of eight deep-level shelters that exist across London. Opened to the public in July 1944, Clapham South shelter has over a mile of subterranean passageways that reveal the extraordinary stories of those who sheltered here, from Londoners seeking refuge during the Blitz, to Caribbean migrants arriving on the Empire Windrush, and even thrifty visitors to the 1951 Festival of Britain. Look out for our new reduced matinee prices for visitors looking for an afternoon treat.
