Extensively modernised between 1925 and 1928 to meet growing passenger demand, the station is regarded as one of the finest examples of underground architecture on the London Underground.

All Hidden London tours are curated by the London Transport Museum's history experts, drawing on the museum's archives and collections. You will see from a new perspective how the Underground has changed over more than a century to meet the needs of Londoners.
