Hidden London

Explore ‘forgotten’ parts of the Tube network and go behind the scenes at some of London’s busiest stations with our exclusive Hidden London tours. Tickets now available until September 2024

What are Hidden London tours?

Imagine going behind the scenes at some of London’s busiest stations, as expert guides reveal the extraordinary infrastructure and feats of engineering usually hidden away below your feet. Discover something completely new as you venture into ‘forgotten’ historical Underground stations which are usually closed to the public.

Step in to a time capsule of historic posters, signage and vintage tiles in a long-disused tunnel, or stand where history was made during the Second World War. You’ll learn about the people who shaped London’s transport network, as our knowledgeable guides use research from London Transport Museum’s collection to share incredible stories.

Our exclusive, award-winning Hidden London tours are the only way you can discover these incredible places.
