Edwardian tunnels sealed in 1929, under the busiest circus in London.
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.
When Piccadilly Circus was modernised in the 1920s the original station was closed off rather than demolished, and it is still down there: Edwardian tiling and passages that later sheltered Londoners, and valuable artwork, through the Second World War. The design decisions made here set the look of Underground stations across London. About 75 minutes, meeting at the bottom of the Exit 4 stairs. Selected dates to 4 April 2027.
