New Tickets Released for Hidden London tours
Experience the 160 years of London Underground’s history by exploring the secret and ‘forgotten’ locations where it all took place with our award-winning Hidden London tours.
Tickets are now available for the February and March 2023 dates, giving you an exclusive chance to step behind-the-scenes of history. Hidden London guided tours are the only ones in the city that grant guests access to these locations on the Underground network, which are usually off limits to the public.
Four in-person tours will be on offer in February and March, including tours of the original 19th century passageways and features at Shepherd’s Bush, the bomb-proof wartime corridors concealed at the now disused Down Street station on the Piccadilly line, Euston’s secret 1960s gallery of advertising posters; and the labyrinth of underground passages hidden deep beneath Clapham South built to shelter Londoners during the Second World War.
A brand-new virtual tour, ‘Hidden London: Discovering the Forgotten Underground,’ will also debut on 28 February as part of our celebrations to mark 160 years of the London Underground.
This online tour will be led by an expert guide to allow guests from all over the world to discover how the London Underground network evolved over the years since its beginning on 10 January 1863.
Featuring exclusive documents from our archives, this new tour looks into previously unexplored locations on the network, offering a unique chance to discover how some stations came to be forgotten and sometimes repurposed in surprising manners as the needs of London changed.
Also released are new dates for London Transport Museum’s Secrets of Central London walking tour of Covent Garden, Kingsway, Lincoln’s Inn Fields and Victoria Embankment. On this tour, expert Hidden London guides reveal fascinating and little-known historical tales and snippets about the area and its transformation over the last 200 years.
All Hidden London tours were written by own very own historical experts and based on content drawn from our extensive archive and collection. They were recently named ’Best Hidden Gem in the World’ at the Tiqets’ Remarkable Venue Awards 2022 by public vote.
Fans who can’t get enough Hidden London content can subscribe to the Hidden London Hangouts, a regular series hosted on our YouTube channel by team members Chris Nix, Siddy Holloway and Laura Brown, and joined by broadcaster and self-confessed Tube geek Alex Grundon.
The series takes viewers behind the scenes of the Hidden London tours programme as the team explore various parts of the London transport system and share findings from their research. A new season of episodes will be released in February, available on our YouTube channel.
