Explore One of London's Hidden Underground Secrets This Summer
London is home to countless historic landmarks, but some of its most fascinating attractions lie beneath the city's busy streets. This summer, families will have the chance to discover one of the capital's most intriguing abandoned Underground stations through a special new experience designed for younger visitors.
For more than a decade, the London Transport Museum has been giving visitors exclusive access to disused stations and forgotten tunnels through its popular Hidden London tours. One of the standout locations is Aldwych station, a former Tube stop that closed permanently in 1994 after years of limited operation.
Now, the museum is introducing family-focused tours of Aldwych aimed at children aged 10 to 14. These special editions offer the same rare opportunity to step inside the historic station, including its original platforms, lift areas, and ticket hall, which are normally closed to the public.
To make the experience more engaging for younger explorers, the tours include interactive activities, puzzles, and challenges that bring the station's history to life in a fun and memorable way.
Each guided visit lasts approximately 75 minutes. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and identification is required for all participants.
For families looking for a unique summer activity, the tours provide an exciting glimpse into a hidden side of London while offering a welcome escape from the city's warmer temperatures. It's a rare chance to walk through a piece of London's transport history and discover stories that remain buried beneath the streets.
The family editions of the Aldwych "End of the Line" tours will run from July 16 to August 30 through the London Transport Museum.
