Excursão a pé pelo metro escondido na Estação Aldwych Disused
Descrição
Desça mais de 130 degraus subterrâneos para conhecer uma estação de metrô eduardiana desativada e preservada com seu grupo. Você será acompanhado por dois guias experientes que o levarão pela história da estação, incluindo seu uso como abrigo da Segunda Guerra Mundial e como depósito de tesouros inestimáveis durante o Blitz. Seu grupo visitará o saguão de ingressos original e as plataformas desativadas e ouvirá o depoimento oral em primeira mão de um dos abrigadores da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Você precisará de um bom nível de preparo físico para fazer o passeio e conseguir descer e subir novamente 130 degraus. Esta é sua oportunidade de conhecer um espaço único em Londres e somente o London Transport Museum pode levá-lo até lá.

Itinerário
O London Transport Museum, o principal museu de transporte urbano do mundo, convida você a se juntar a nós em uma excursão guiada exclusiva à estação Aldwych, um dos lugares secretos de Londres, que guarda mitos e memórias de tempos passados. Aberta ao público em 1907, nunca foi tão usada quanto originalmente pretendido e fechou quase 100 anos depois, em 1994. A estação teve uma história variada; desde fornecer abrigo aos londrinos durante o Blitz, até ser usada para filmagens de filmes e TV, incluindo The ABC Murders (2018), Darkest Hour (2017), Sherlock (2014) e Atonement (2007). Junte-se à nossa excursão para ver um dos antigos terminais da linha Piccadilly – o saguão de ingressos, os elevadores originais, plataformas e túneis abandonados e passarelas interconectadas – incluindo algumas que raramente são vistas pelo público.

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.
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.
