Heard of London’s disused Tube stations? Discover the capital’s abandoned spots and the fascinating stories behind them. 

It turns out that London has lots of disused tube stations. Perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise –  the first London Underground train dates back to 1863 – of course, there’s been lots of change since then. 

Climb aboard and let us take you on a journey through the history of London’s Underground, with stations serving as Blitz shelters, breakout rooms and some even acting as the backdrop for movie sets. 

Next stop, disused London Underground stations. Choo choo!

Abandoned London Underground Stations and the History Behind Them 

Opened to the public in 1907, Aldwych Station is one of London’s best-kept secrets . The station’s history runs deep, from providing shelter to Londoners during the Blitz to being used as a filming location for The ABC Murders, Sherlock, Darkest Hour and Atonement.

It was a part of the Piccadilly Line for 100 years until 1994 and closed due to low passenger numbers (a theme you’ll notice with many of these stations!).

Although Aylesbury is actually quite a few miles away from London, it turns out it used to be on the Underground network until the 1960s. In fact, it was part of the main service for London’s Metropolitan line.

From Aylesbury you could reach Waddesdon Manor and Quainton Road and the line stretched nearly as far as Oxford. This was, until the line between Rickmansworth and Amersham was electrified – then there was no need for Aylesbury to be active. Boo.

British Museum

Run by the Central London Railway, British Museum Station in Holborn was a part of the Central Line. 

Opened in 1900 but closed 33 years later, Holborn station, less than 100 yards away, had much higher passenger numbers so the British Museum station just wasn’t needed– Holborn joined the Central Line the very next day. 

The two stations ideally would have been connected, but weren’t because of tunnel alignment.

Brompton Road

Brompton Road, once part of the Piccadilly line, used to be a stop in between Knightsbridge and South Kensington. 

But – you guessed it – the station closed because it wasn’t used often enough, largely due to being too close to its neighbouring stations. It was during the General Strike that Brompton Road closed and never reopened after the modernisation of Knightsbridge. 

During the Second World War Brompton Road served as Ministry of Defence and the platforms were bricked up. It’s now been turned into trendy flats, so there’s not much to see of its former life. 

Charing Cross

We are well aware that Charing Cross is technically not an abandoned station, but part of it is. We’re also certain you’ve seen the abandoned part of Charing Cross on your TV screens too. 

Charing Cross joined the Jubilee line in 1979 as the southern terminus until 1999. The line was supposed to join up to Lewisham and the tunnels extend as far as Aldwych. But with the regeneration of the East End in the 80s, the line was rerouted from Green Park to Waterloo and London Bridge .

The disused line found new meaning on our screens acting as the backdrop for 28 Weeks Later, Skyfall, Creep and Spooks. 

Islington’s disused tube station, City Road, opened in 1901 as part of the City & South London Railways extension from Moorgate Street to Angel. 

It was doomed from the start by low passenger numbers and closed in 1922. You might have wondered why there’s a big gap between Angel and Old street, and this is why.

Most of the station was demolished in the 1960s, and replaced with an energy centre that now helps to heat the homes of Islington with the heat from the tunnels.

Great Missenden

Another station that once existed on the Metropolitan line, we’re beginning to see why so many of them closed. 

Great Missenden is one of the prettiest villages in England and it’s just 40 minutes from Marylebone Station. 

The service was withdrawn when the lines were electrified in the 50s and 60s and trains then only ran as far as Amersham. 

Hounslow Town and Surrounding Areas

The District line used to go all the way to Hounslow Town station which was quite close to Hounslow East station. 

Bear with us as this gets a little confusing: The station closed in 1886, but reopened for six years from 1903 to 1909 before finally closing for good. These tracks are now used as tracks for the Piccadilly line and following various extensions, now serves Heathrow Airport. 

Osterley & Spring Grove was also a stop next to Hounslow Town heading east. It opened in 1883 as part of the District line and then closed in 1934, though the old station building is still there today serving as a book shop. 

There was also Hounslow West, opened in 1884 as a further terminus. Formerly known as Hounslow Barracks, it was renamed in 1925 and then closed in 1975 when the station was moved in order to extend the line out towards Hatton Cross and Heathrow. 

King William Street

King William Street station was part of the City and South London Railway, which was the old Northern line. 

Open from 1890 to 1900, it was closed after just ten years in order to extend the line up to Moorgate and Bank. It was situated between Monument and Bank, and a plaque can still be seen at Monument station as a little reminder that King William Street station existed.  

Located in St John’s Wood, Lords was on the Metropolitan line, opened in 1868 as St Johns Wood Road. 

It was then renamed twice, once to St John’s Wood in 1925 (pointless, we know), and named Lord’s in 1939– referring to the nearby cricket grounds.

Once the new section of the Bakerloo line was opened, fewer trains ran through Lord’s and the station was replaced by a newly built St John’s Wood nearby. 

Down Street

Located in between Mayfair’s Hyde Park Corner and Green Park stations, Down Street was once part of The Great Northern Piccadilly and Brompton Railway. 

It had a relatively short life, opening in 1907 before being abandoned in 1932 due to low passenger numbers– its neighbours could afford more luxurious modes of transport.

This one gets a little confusing. Mark Lane opened in 1984 to replace Tower of London station which only operated for two years before it was realised a bigger station was needed. 

Mark Lane was then renamed Tower Hill station in 1946 (not connected to today’s Tower Hill station), but oddly they were built next to each other. The station closed in 1967 due to the impossibility of expansion. But, the modern Tower Hill station actually uses the same site as the original Tower of London station.

Marlborough Road

Marlborough Road is one of three disused tube stations in London that were on the Metropolitan line. 

Marlborough Road used to be a stop between Finchley Road and Baker Street, it opened in 1868 and only closed due to a new stretch of the Bakerloo opening up a route to Stanmore.

If you take a stroll along Finchley Road on the corner of Queen’s Grove you’ll come across a fairly blank building. It’s now used as a power substation, and previously was a Chinese restaurant. 

North Weald

On the same line as Ongar, North Weald opened in 1865 by the Great Eastern Railway and later used as a Central Line station on the London Underground between Epping and Blake Hill stations. 

The section beyond Epping to Ongar closed in 1994 and North Weald, like Ongar became a part of the Ongar-Epping Railway service.  

Blake Hill station was on the same line but this station closed long before Ongar and North Weald in 1981, so never became a part of the Ongar-Epping Railway. 

South Kentish Town

Did you know that Kentish Town used to have another station nearby? South Kentish Town was on the Northern line and opened in 1907.

The disused deep level line was supposed to be called Castle Road, but a few weeks before opening it was changed to South Kentish Town. This station suffered from low passenger numbers from the get go and in 1908 drivers began ignoring the need to stop there. Rude.

In 1924 a power outage meant temporary closure for the station but when the power returned the station was never reopened. The station is now home to the thrilling Mission Breakout, an escape room to break out of the ghost tube station.

St Mary’s

Located between Aldgate East and Whitechapel, St Mary’s closed its shutters in 1938 when today’s Aldgate East moved further east. This meant that it was pointless for St Mary’s to exist. 

The abandoned underground station was unfortunately bombed during the Second World War and was never recovered. 

Ongar used to be the final stop on the Central line. It also had a pre and post underground life, opening in 1965 it was mostly used for ferrying agricultural products from Essex to the outskirts of London.

In 1949 it became part of the underground but it was never really a hiit with passengers and closed in 1994. Its legacy lives on, Ongar is still part of the Ongar-Epping Railway– it’s one of few abandoned London Underground stations that still has trains running through.  

Swiss Cottage

The third and final disused Metropolitan line station is Swiss Cottage opened in 1968. Just a few days after its opening there was a head-on crash between two trains and three people were injured. 

Named after a nearby pub, Swiss Cottage served the Metropolitan line until 1940 when neighbouring stations took prevalence. 

Swiss Cottage is abandoned in plain sight and is still very much visible to Metropolitan line passengers. 

Tower of London

Did you know that there used to be a Tower of London stop on the underground? Nope, neither did we. 

Tower of London station closed after only two years of ferrying passengers in 1884 when Mark Lane station opened. The station was scrapped altogether when Tower Hill station was built on the same site in 1967. 

York Road is an abandoned underground station located between King’s Cross and Caledonian Road. It was part of the Picadilly line until 1932, it closed when a new cross over tunnel was opened at King’s Cross. 

The platform has been removed from York Road station, and it’s now used as an emergency exit from the tunnels.

Going underground: a subterranean tour of London's abandoned tube stations

Tours through abandoned Tube stations open a unique window onto London’s historic roots.

Standing on a strip-lit London Underground platform, I’m staring at the billboards across the tracks. Primary colours jump out above grimy rails. To the left is a placard for cheap holidays in the sun, to the right a poster for new West End play Diana’s Fortune. But the adverts are strangely vague when it comes to details. Holidays where, exactly? And why no mention of which theatre is staging the play?  

“They’re all fake ads,” says my Hidden London guide, Pat Dennis, with a laugh, pointing out posters for fictitious estate agents and non-existent clothing brands. We’re deep in Charing Cross Underground station, at the heart of the capital’s transport network, but if we were hoping to hop on the next train we’d be in for a wait. “This platform has been out of service since 1999,” he says. “It was part of the Jubilee Line. Now it’s used for films, TV shows and music videos. We’ve had Matt Damon and Daniel Craig down here, Paddington, Madonna, Dua Lipa — you name them.”  

The bogus ads, it transpires, help avoid any awkward issues over product placement. They also add to the discombobulation of entering a secret underworld. When Pat greets our group in the station’s ticket hall, we’re surrounded by a jostle of commuters and free newspapers. Then we step through an anonymous metal door and everything becomes real but unreal, with empty escalators, silent corridors and the far-off rumble of trains on other lines.

Over the following hour and a quarter, we get a full overview of this deserted wing of the station. We’re given the history of Charing Cross itself. We’re shown footage from Skyfall where James Bond slides down the same escalators we’ve just descended. We’re even taken into the cavernous dark of the ventilation shafts and construction tunnels, at one point spying through a grille, 007-style, on travellers waiting for a Northern Line train. It all feels fascinatingly clandestine.

This, of course, is very much the intention. Organised by the London Transport Museum, which funnels profits from tickets into its educational arm, these behind-the-scenes tours are run by Hidden London in eight different Tube stations. The visits make the most of the fact that multiple areas of certain stations are now disused, for reasons varying from low passenger numbers to rerouted lines.  

“All the stations we visit have their own selling points,” says Pat, explaining that tours are scheduled for different stations at different times each year, to keep demand high. Many of these tours touch on the Second World War, when the tunnels doubled as air-raid shelters. Clapham South, for example, has more than a mile of deep-level passageways, while Down Street — which Winston Churchill used as a secret wartime bunker — was closed to passengers back in 1932, yet still exists, murky and history-laden, under the streets of W1. And while the defunct platforms of Charing Cross remain modern-looking, the concealed parts of Aldwych and Euston are time capsules full of period architecture and fading posters.

( 5 of north London's most scenic walking routes .)

I head to another station, Moorgate, for the next tour. It takes its name from a former gate in the old city walls, which looked out across marshland. Today the area is all commercial buildings and cafes, but the station has plenty of history. It opened in 1865 as part of the Metropolitan Line — the world’s oldest underground — and originally had gas-lit wooden carriages trundling along its tracks.  

“The early trains didn’t even have windows,” says my guide Tommy Carr. “The logic was that there was nothing to look at in a tunnel, then they realised passengers liked seeing which stations they were stopping at.” The station was initially just a shallow one, created using the old-fashioned cut-and-cover method — digging a big trench, laying down tracks, then roofing it over again — before the deep-level underground arrived in 1900.

We venture into the belly of the station, stepping into a low-lit maze of maintenance tunnels and disused lift shafts. A tiled passageway closed since 1939 still bears fragments of adverts for soap and books; further on we’re shown an old tunnelling shield — a vast, hollow, metal cylinder lying on its side — created as a kind of protective sheath for workers, who stood inside it to hand-excavate the tunnels. Stretching 16 feet across, the shield was simply left there when work was completed.

Less than 90 minutes later I’m back in the fresh air, a little dazed. Today’s Tube is many things — functional, sprawling — and the sheer breadth and history of the network means parts of it are stuck in time.

Hidden London Underground Tours

Spooky tours of disused Underground stations and closed-off tube tunnels

Time Out says

London Transport Museum has a new 2022 season of its ever-popular Hidden London tours of unseen parts of the capital’s vast transport network, including some new places they’ve never visited before.

They take place on selected dates between October 12 and December 30 . 

Highlights include tours of Charing Cross and Down Street stations. The Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross have been inoperative since 1999, and since used for lots of film and TV productions. Down Street station, meanwhile, was shut down way back in 1932 because of low passenger numbers (locals presumably all travelled by Rolls-Royce). In WWII, it was used as an air raid shelter and, intriguingly, was used by Winston Churchill during the Blitz.

Another perennial favourite are the tours of Aldwych tube station on the Strand near Somerset House, and there are also in-person tours of Shepherd’s Bush station’s hidden nooks and crannies, and the same at Euston Square .

Virtual tours allow visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the new  Elizabeth line  stations at Tottenham Court Road and Liverpool Street , as well as a look at the closed Kingsway Tunnel areas of Holborn.

Selected dates between October 12 and December 30. 

Full details of all the tours are here .

All the abandoned London Underground stations you can actually visit and how

There are 11 you can now explore thanks to some meticulous preservation efforts

Now 160 years old, with 272 stations under its belt, it's little surprise that the London Underground has so many abandoned stations as a result of network changes. As the city evolves, some stations have lost their initial purpose, and are deemed no longer viable - most are replaced by stations nearby or wider station complexes. Others, like Aldwych, have no direct replacement, so remain awaiting a new purpose.

Unless Transport for London (TfL) sells the relevant land and/or property, it still owns and maintains the empty stations. Most collect dust for the majority of the year, but thanks to the London Transport Museum they have been admirably preserved. In recent years, many have been opened to the public as part of special 'Hidden London' guided tours , where museum experts take you back in time under the streets of the capital to explore the Tube that was.

The Hidden London tours are the best way to explore the abandoned stations, with a range of them available to visit, as well as a disused tram tunnel near Holborn.

Assistant director of the London Transport Museum Chris Nix, told MyLondon: "There’s so much to uncover in the disused stations because they are time-capsules in themselves: you can see vintage posters and signs on the walls, walk down corridors that haven’t been used by the public in decades, hear the stories of the people who lived and worked there… And they’re constantly evolving, because we keep discovering more and more little-known historical facts as we continue to explore our archives."

We at MyLondon in our mission to scour the capital from top to bottom (literally!) have been underground with the Hidden London team and can confirm just how insightful they are. You don't have to be a history or Tube geek, although it certainly helps, as the experts bring the effective time capsules to life for you, with demonstrations and detailed explanations too. Highlights of some of the places seen on the tours have featured in the 'Secrets of the Underground' TV series.

Hidden London guided tours are available of the following ‘abandoned’ stations:

- Down Street (in person tour)

- Aldwych (in person and virtual tours)

- King William Street (virtual tour)

- York Road (virtual tour)

- Brompton Road (virtual tour)

Also available are tours of disused parts of the following working stations:

- Charing Cross (in person tour)

- Clapham South (in person tour)

- Euston (in person and virtual tours)

- Moorgate (in person tour)

- Piccadilly Circus (in person tour)

- Shepherd’s Bush (in person tour)

All can be booked via the London Transport Museum's website here . Prices vary depending on tour type and station size, but are generally around £40-50 per person, with discounts available. Some tours are not open to under 14s. 14 to 16 year olds must be accompanied by an adult.

London had the first underground railway, the first deep level underground railway and the first electric underground railway. The London Underground as it is known today, is full of history. Part of that history is its catalogue of dismantled, abandoned and disused stations; all closed for varying reasons. Within these pages are photos and details of most of them, for you to explore.

I toured the abandoned train stations of London's metro and was shocked at how much the city's underground transport network has grown

• Underneath London, there is a network of abandoned stations that used to be part of the metro.
• The London Transport Museum offers tours of the old stations, featuring the walkways and signs.
• I took a tour of an old station to find out what usually surrounds me when I take the metro.

The tour started at Piccadilly Circus station in central London. The station has seven street entrances, where commuters descend a small flight of stairs to reach the main ticket hall.

The underground station first opened in 1906. It used to have an entrance at surface level, but now the station is entirely underground.

Piccadilly Circus was then the largest underground station in London. It was built with 54 steel columns dotted around the ticket hall just under ground surface level ...

The pillars are still a prominent part of the ticket hall today.

The ticket hall also features a memorial to London Transport's first chief executive, Frank Pick, who was responsible for commissioning the designs of several London underground stations, including the round logo of the metro.

We descended down a former construction shaft to platform level. The original station was designed with eight lifts, four of which descend 26 meters to one of London's metro lines, the Bakerloo line.

The platforms on London's underground metro network are mostly long and dome-shaped, mimicking the shape of the trains which roll past.

Right at the end of the platform, there are some blue gates. I walk by these gates on my commute every day, but I've never taken much notice of them.

But inside, there are steps that lead down to abandoned corridors, walkways, and lift shafts, which would have been used when Piccadilly Circus station was first built.

The passageways date back to 1906 ...

... and feature the original signage and tiling. Some of the original passageways have been closed to the public since 1929, according to the transport museum.

The station was designed by the architect, Leslie Green, who designed more than 40 train stations across London. The authentic stamps from the tile manufacturers were still noticeable on the tiles.

The stations were mostly designed in the same way, but featured their own colored tiling pattern. The green tiles were symbolic of Piccadilly Circus.

Inspiration was also drawn from the colorful mosaic tiling of the New York subway.

The abandoned passageways also led to two former lift shafts.

London's metro stations see millions of commuters every year. Piccadilly Circus sees more than 40 million passengers per year, according to the London Transport Museum.

... But the station was also once a temporary shelter for Londoners. During the second world war, around 5,000-7,000 people sheltered at Piccadilly Circus every night.

In South London, you can also tour a disused deep level shelter which runs under one of London's tube lines, the Northern Line. The line runs around 58 meters below the surface, and the deep level shelter is situated between 15 and 20 meters below that.

Constructed by London Transport, the Clapham South shelter could accommodate around 8,000 people per night during the Second World War.

The tunnels are 16.6 feet wide and stretch for over a mile underground. The shelter was later sold to the body responsible for London's transport network, Transport for London, for £1 and leased to the transport museum for tours.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Apparently this ‘beautiful’ London tube station feels like ‘going back in time’

Share this with

Admit it, when you’re on the London tube in rush hour, you’re glued to your phone , barely looking up.

But it turns out you could be missing out on some incredible architecture – such as Gants Hill Underground Station.

While East London’s Gants Hill might not be the first place that comes to mind when looking for impressive design, it’s actually steeped in history and was influenced by a Metro station in Moscow.

Work began on the Ilford Underground Station, which is on the Central Line, back in the 1930s, underneath Gants Hill roundabout.

In 1935, London Transport officials went to Moscow after developing close links with Soviet authorities who had visited London to see Piccadilly Circus.

Parts of Gants Hill – namely the design of the 150ft long concourse area – is said to be influenced by the Mayakovskaya Moscow Metro station.

Commuters and architecture buffs have been drawing comparisons between the Russian Metro station and Gants Hill, which is illuminated by square Art Deco roof lights.

It was also used as an air raid shelter during World War II.

Some are even calling the station to be recognised as a Grade II listed building.

‘Gants Hill has amazing interior architecture,’ one reviewer wrote on TripAdvisor.’Definitely a place to visit if you’re into building structures and design.’

Another said the station was reminiscent of history, saying: ‘I don’t use the station very much anymore but I always really going down there from time to time, it reminds me of going back in time.

‘It’s a beautiful, clean space,’ wrote another. ‘Appreciate the design of this well kept station.’
