Tour a piedi della stazione di Aldwych in disuso
Descrizione
Scendi oltre 130 gradini sottoterra per visitare una stazione della metropolitana edoardiana in disuso e conservata con il tuo gruppo. Sarai accompagnato da due guide esperte che ti racconteranno la storia della stazione, incluso il suo utilizzo come rifugio durante la seconda guerra mondiale e come deposito di tesori inestimabili durante il Blitz. Il tuo gruppo visiterà la biglietteria originale e le piattaforme in disuso e ascolterà la testimonianza orale di prima mano di uno dei rifugiati della seconda guerra mondiale. Avrai bisogno di un buon livello di forma fisica per intraprendere il tour ed essere in grado di scendere e risalire 130 gradini. Questa è la tua opportunità di vivere uno spazio davvero unico a Londra e solo il London Transport Museum può portarti lì.

Itinerario
Il London Transport Museum, il principale museo mondiale sui trasporti urbani, vi invita a unirvi a noi per un tour guidato esclusivo della stazione di Aldwych, uno dei luoghi segreti di Londra, che custodisce miti e ricordi di tempi passati. Aperta al pubblico nel 1907, non è mai stata utilizzata così intensamente come previsto in origine e ha chiuso quasi 100 anni dopo, nel 1994. La stazione ha avuto una storia variegata; dal fornire rifugio ai londinesi durante il Blitz, all'essere utilizzata per riprese cinematografiche e televisive tra cui The ABC Murders (2018), Darkest Hour (2017), Sherlock (2014) e Atonement (2007). Unitevi al nostro tour per vedere uno degli ex capolinea della linea Piccadilly: la biglietteria, gli ascensori originali, le banchine e i tunnel abbandonati e i camminamenti di collegamento, inclusi alcuni che sono molto raramente visti dal pubblico.

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.
Friendly, helpful staff who looked after us, many were senior, and presented the information in an easy to follow way. Fee reasonable for the experience which lasted 1 hour 10 mins plus 15 mins admin and briefing at beginning. Quite a few steps to walk back up from platform level (c100), necessitating several stops in the ascent. Crowd about 20 and good atmosphere.
Such a fascinating experience with lovely tour guides Colin & Phil. Highly recommend to those with even the slightest interest in the tube!
Interesting info about the tube's past
