Hoteller i nærheden af Hidden Tube Walking Tour of Aldwych Disused Station
Beskrivelse
Gå ned over 130 trapper under jorden for at opleve en bevaret nedlagt edwardiansk undergrundsstation med din gruppe. Du vil blive ledsaget af to kyndige guider, der vil tage dig gennem historien om stationen, inklusive dens brug som et WWII-tilflugtssted og som et opbevaringsanlæg for uvurderlige skatte under Blitz. Din gruppe vil du besøge den originale billethal og nedlagte platforme, og du vil høre det første hånds mundtlige vidnesbyrd fra en af WWII shelterers. Du skal have et godt niveau af fysisk kondition for at gennemføre turen og være i stand til at gå ned og klatre op ad 130 trapper igen. Dette er din mulighed for at opleve et meget unikt sted i London, og kun London Transport Museum kan tage dig dertil.

Rejseplan
London Transport Museum, verdens førende museum for bytransport, inviterer dig til at slutte sig til os på en eksklusiv rundvisning på Aldwych station, et af Londons hemmelige steder, der rummer myter og minder fra svundne tider. Åbnet for offentligheden i 1907, blev det aldrig så meget brugt som oprindeligt tiltænkt og lukket næsten 100 år senere i 1994. Stationen har haft en varieret historie; fra at give husly til londonere under Blitz, til at blive brugt til film- og tv-optagelser, herunder The ABC Murders (2018), Darkest Hour (2017), Sherlock (2014) og Atonement (2007). Deltag i vores tur for at se en af de tidligere endestationer på Piccadilly-linjen - billethallen, de originale elevatorer, forladte platforme og tunneler og indbyrdes forbindende gangbroer - inklusive nogle, der meget sjældent ses af offentligheden.

Excellent tour, well organised and informative. The staff were very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting.
A really interesting and fun tour. The guides were clearly interested in the subject matter and engaged well with the people on the tour. It was a well thought out tour and gave the audience a good overview of the station particularly its role in the 1st and 2nd world wars.
Have been wanting to visit this site for years, wasn’t disappointed. Polite, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides. Only disappointment, unable to walk on the track and into the tunnels.
Sophie was our guide And she had a really good sense of humour and knew what she was talking about Really enjoyed the experience I’ve walked past the disused tube station a few times but it was nice going inside to see what it was really like The stairs in the station are quite steep but it was so worth it Will definitely do another hidden London tour at some point
I have been past Aldwych tube station in the past and often wondered what it was like. I never got to visit when it was in public use so it has eluded me for a long time. I was on the London Transport Museum website and saw there were tours available to see the station and they were on days when I was available so I decided to book up. On the day of the tour it was myself and 24 other people there were two guides and another person to make sure we all stayed together. We were shown round the station's exit and entrance and then went downstairs to the platforms. There are lifts but they are out of use so if you are going to do this tour you need to be able to do a spiral flight of over 100 steps. BEAR THIS IN MIND! Some people on the tour struggled with this. We were shown both platforms and told the history behind the station. The guides were excellent and informative. I came away learning so much about this former station.
Very interesting tour. I gave this four stars because we were told there would be time to take photos but unfortunately there was very limited time. We had to take the majority of photos whilst the guide was speaking. It would have been fab to have a few extra mins at each stage of the tour to take photos. Our tour took approx 80 mins.
Excellent trip, fantastic guide in Emma. Really interesting and highly recommended.
Meeeeeegaaaaaaaa. I'm a tube nerd anyway, but even without being that... you go down in history and it's really unique, I think. Highly recommended
Our guides, Gillian & Chris were brilliant, they clearly both love their job and even though ours was the 5th tour of the day, their enthusiasm and passion was obvious. The knowledge they shared was done in a really clever way, with the help of visuals in various forms at times. I would recommend this tour and would love to book others offered by LTM.
Did the Aldwych/Strand station tour which was fascinating. The chap who was the main tour guide was excellent and the added video shows and old footage really brought it to life. Would thoroughly recommend and will do another Hidden London tour when next in the city.
