London Transport Museum announce new location and the return of popular hidden tour Moorgate.
London Transport Museum is launching a brand-new behind the scenes tour of Green Park station, Dover Street: Alight here for Green Park, with tickets available to book now. Named after Dover Street – the former name for Green Park Tube station, before it was renamed in 1933 – the tour will explore the station’s fascinating story, complete with tales of wartime intrigue.
Visitors will be taken deep underground to explore the former passageways and lift landings of the original 1906 station, complete with vintage signs and tiles that were last seen by the travelling public in the 1930s. They will also hear how Dover Street played a pivotal role during the Second World War and discover where Lord Ashfield, then chairman of the London Passenger Transport Board, had his bedroom secretly fitted at the heart of the station.
Tours for Dover Street: Alight here for Green Park will start on 22 January 2025, with prices starting from £42. Tickets are available to book here: https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk
Popular Hidden London tour Moorgate: Metropolitan Maze, which last ran over a year ago, will restart in January 2025. This guided tour takes visitors into the maze of disused tunnels and abandoned tracks that were left behind by almost 160 years of re-designs and upgrades to Moorgate Tube station, with exclusive access to areas of the station that are closed-off to the public.
Visitors can explore corridors that have been hidden from public view for decades, including the original passageways of the City and South London Railway which are still lined with Victorian glass tiles from 1900 and vintage signs. For the first time ever, visitors will also be able to step into the Moorgate ‘Catacombs’ section, which is located directly underneath The Barbican Estate.
Tours for Moorgate: Metropolitan Maze will restart on 08 January 2025, with prices starting from £42. Tickets are available to book here: www.ltmuseum.co.uk moorgate
