Tickets for early 2023 dates of London Transport Museum’s exclusive Hidden London tours have now been released, and are available from 4 January to 19 February. The tours were recently named ‘Best Hidden Gem in the World’ at the Tiqets Remarkable Venue Awards 2022.
The tours explore secret and ‘forgotten’ parts of the London Underground network, and Hidden London tours give ticket-holders an exclusive chance to step behind the scenes and discover more of the capital and its fascinating history.
London Transport Museum’s Hidden London guided tours are the only ones in the city that grant guests access to locations that are usually off limits to the public of the Underground network. From abandoned ticket halls and secret bunkers to time-capsule corridors and disused platforms (sometimes mere feet away from unsuspecting commuters), guests are taken through the history of London, its people, and its transport network right where it all happened.
The tours are written by historical experts from London Transport Museum and based on content drawn from the Museum’s extensive archive and collection, making them a unique opportunity for Londoners and visitors alike to discover little known historical facts.
Tickets for five in-person tours are on offer in January and February, including tours of Shepherd’s Bush’s original 19th century passageways and features, the deep-level subterranean shelters below Clapham South, Moorgate and its metropolitan maze of secret corridors, Piccadilly Circus’s long-hidden Edwardian design features, and Charing Cross’s abandoned Jubilee line platforms.
New dates for London Transport Museum’s Secrets of Central London walking tour of Covent Garden, Kingsway, Lincoln’s Inn Fields and Victoria Embankment are also on sale. On this tour, expert Hidden London guides will reveal fascinating and little-known historical tales and titbits about the area and its transformation over the last 200 years.
