Hidden London: Charing Cross — behind the Silver Screen

Disused platforms under Trafalgar Square that keep turning up in films.

Guided tourHistoryUnderground

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.

The Jubilee line platforms here closed in 1999 and have been a film set ever since - the Skyfall chase was shot down here. The tour walks tunnels beneath Trafalgar Square, stops under the Fourth Plinth and the National Gallery, and looks down on live Northern line trains through a ventilation shaft. 75 minutes, meeting inside the Northern line entrance opposite the barriers. Selected dates to 4 April 2027.
