London Transport Museum has announced it is continuing its programme of tours of hidden and disused parts of the Underground network.

The first tour took place in June 2015 with a tour around disused parts of Charing Cross Underground. The places available to visit has increased each year, and tickets have now gone on sale for this year’s tours of Hidden London.

This year, twelve tours are available for guests to explore secret locations around London Transport’s network including disused stations, time-capsule corridors, forgotten platforms, and wartime shelters. During their explorations, visitors will learn little-known historical facts from the museum’s archives.

The Hidden London tours are the only way that visitors can access these closed-off locations, where they have a unique chance to step into secret parts of the Underground network.

Tickets are now available for tours until the end of September 2025, with a minimum age limit of 10 years old instead of the previous age limit of 14.

Tickets are also available for tours between April and September of Baker Street, Clapham South’s Deep-Level Shelter, Dover Street, Euston, Moorgate and Holborn.

Some tours have been updated, with additional content and enhanced audio-visual elements. At the disused Aldwych station, visitors to Aldwych: The End of the Line will hear first-hand accounts from Londoners who sheltered in the station during the Second World War, and how the station was used to keep the nation’s treasures safe during air raids. These begin on 21st May with prices from £42.

Piccadilly Circus: The Heart of London has been refreshed to explore the station’s role in the Second World War in more detail, with additional audio and visual effects.

There will also be at the station’s architectural heritage and how it has changed over the years, starting from a red-tiled exterior to its modernist redesign of the 1920s.

As well as exploring disused Piccadilly line corridors, visitors can explore how passengers transferred to the Bakerloo line. These tours start on 18th June with prices from £42.

Tours of the disused parts of Charing Cross Underground station are now called Charing Cross: Behind the Silver Screen, and visitors will have more time to savour the atmosphere of the station’s Jubilee line and concourses.

These were closed in 1999, but will be familiar sights as they have featured in such popular Film and TV productions as Skyfall (2012), The Good Liar (2019), One Love (2024), Sherlock (2010), and Gangs of London (2020). Charing Cross: Behind the Silver Screen tours start on 18 April 2025, with prices from £42.

Tickets for all tours can be booked through the London Transport Museum’s website at www.ltmuseum.co.uk/hidden-london, with the profits going towards the London Transport Museum’s charitable work and to converse and share London’s transport and design heritage.

As well as Hidden London tours, the London Transport Museum depot at Acton also holds regular open days.
