Explore the labyrinth that lies below Euston station
Think you know Euston station? Think again. Join us for a tour exploring a century of its history, from humble beginnings on the corner of Melton and Drummond Streets to the busy station of 16 platforms it is today.
You’ll discover a labyrinth of dark and dusty passageways which were once used by the travelling public, preserved vintage advertising poster fragments that have been concealed for over 50 years, see the iconic Leslie Green station (as seen on Yesterday Channel’s ‘Secrets of the London Underground’) and its surroundings before they are swept away forever, and learn about the newest innovations to a Tube and Network Rail station that serves over 42 million passengers each year.

Fascinating tour of some of the London Underground’s disused tunnels. Especially loved the old tattered movie & theatre posters adorning the walls.
