London: Aldwych Disused Station Hidden Tube Guided Tour

Step inside Aldwych,
the ghost station closed in 1994

On this 'Hidden London' guided tour by the London Transport Museum, you spend about 75 minutes exploring Aldwych station with an expert guide. Opened in 1907 and in service for almost a century, the station was expected to be busy but saw few passengers and closed in 1994, which gave it a unique history. The tour is conducted in English.

Walk from the old ticket hall to the closed platforms

At this former terminus of the Piccadilly line, your guide leads you through the ticket hall, the original lifts, closed platforms, tunnels and connecting passages. Some of these spaces are rarely open to the public. You can also see the old ticket office with its original architecture intact.

Discover wartime memories and film scenes

Hear how the station was used as a shelter and a store for precious treasures during the Blitz, and listen to accounts of people who stayed in the shelter during the Second World War. Look for spots used as filming locations for films and TV shows such as 'The ABC Murders' (2018), 'Darkest Hour' (2017), 'Sherlock' (2014), 'Atonement' (2007) and 'Luther: The Fallen Sun'.

All Hidden London tours are curated by the London Transport Museum's history experts, drawing on the museum's archives and collections.

※ The tour involves extended walking on uneven ground and through dimly lit areas, as well as going up and down stairs (no lifts).
