Hidden London: Abandoned Tube Station Tour
★4.8(56 verified GetYourGuide reviews)Price and rating checked 7 August 2026· 75 minutes69 travellers viewed this in the last hour
Descend into the parts of the London Underground the public never sees. This official Hidden London tour, run by the London Transport Museum, takes you behind closed doors into the disused spaces of Charing Cross station, including the Jubilee line platforms that have been shut to travellers since 1999. You walk under Trafalgar Square, look down on live Tube trains through a hidden ventilation shaft, and hear how these closed-off areas became one of the busiest filming locations in London, standing in for scenes in the Bond film Skyfall, Marvel's Thor: The Dark World and the TV series Killing Eve.
