Hidden London tour - The London Transport Museum offers "Hidden London" tours to disused parts of the Underground system. I booked my tour on the day tickets became available and secured the last ticket for my tour of "Holborn: The Secret Platforms". Holborn is an interchange between the Central Line and the Piccadilly Line. Each line has two platforms. There used to be a Piccadilly Line shuttle between Holborn and Aldwych, but that shuttle stopped running in 1994. The tour focused on the platforms used by the Aldwych shuttle. We saw the running tunnel to Aldwych. Trains only ran at peak hours. At other times, the station was used for filming. "New Song" by Howard Jones was filmed at Holborn. As a transport enthusiast, I love LTM's Hidden London tours. A short time after the tour, you are sent an informative booklet via email. Highly recommended.

Ticket price too High - Can't fault the guides, and it was quite interesting. But, we both agree, it's not worth £45 / ticket. In my veiw a reasonable face value would be £25/ 30 max

Don't waste your money - Mildly interesting. The tour guides were very good and informative but the platforms were less than impressive. I expected more of a time capsule experience but I may as well have been on an older platform in the network. The history of it is interesting. £45 per ticket is completely taking the mick. I would say £25 would be appropriate but still extortionate. I have added the best pics to save you money
