Secrets of the London Underground – Small Group Walking Tour

The London Underground, or the "Tube," is more than just a transport network—it’s the lifeblood of London and a true city icon. With 270 stations and over 1.3 billion journeys each year, it has a history full of innovation, mystery, and even ghostly legends.

Your journey begins at Baker Street Station, one of the original stops on the Metropolitan Railway—the world’s first underground railway. As you explore, your expert guide will bring the Tube’s 175-year history to life, revealing:

- How the Underground transformed from steam-powered trains to today’s modern electric system
- Why over 40 stations have been abandoned – and what remains of them today
- The famous ‘roundel’ symbol and how it became a global icon
- The Underground’s role in WWII, when it sheltered over 170,000 people and even stored treasures from the British Museum

And for those who love a good mystery…

- Which haunted stations are said to be home to ghosts, from a murdered actor to a Pharaoh’s daughter
- Which Monarch was the first to ride the Tube
- The bizarre species of animal that only exists on the London Underground

Your tour concludes at Westminster Underground Station, where you can hop on the Tube with a newfound appreciation for the secrets hidden beneath London’s streets.
