Hidden London: Baker Street — the world's first Underground

Passenger corridors sealed for seventy-five years, under the oldest Tube station of all.

Guided tourHistoryUnderground

Also in Science & Engineering.

Hidden London is the London Transport Museum's programme of guided tours into parts of the Underground that passengers never see: stations closed decades ago, passages sealed off during rebuilds, and deep-level wartime shelters. A guide takes you down in a small group, and the museum runs each tour on a handful of dates that are released in batches and sell out quickly, so these are booked ahead rather than turned up for.

Baker Street opened in 1863 on the world's first underground railway, and this tour goes into the parts closed off since: corridors no passenger has walked in over 75 years, the staff clubs and facilities of London Underground's former headquarters above, and a glimpse of the old rifle range. 85 minutes, meeting by the Sherlock Holmes statue outside the station. Selected dates to 4 April 2027, age 10 and over.
