Visit to Aldwych Underground Station

Clive

Clive has obtained some hard-to-get tickets for a visit to disused Aldwych Underground station. Used as an air raid shelter, a film set and a training facility, the station closed in 1994, but London Transport Museum run occasional tours. An opportunity not to be missed. Meet at 12:30pm at the junction of The Strand and Surrey Street. Tickets are now all sold out.

LATE NEWS: Due to planned RMT industrial action, this event has been cancelled. We will try to organise an alternative date or refunds for those who have booked.
