Transport for London - Weekend travel information - 2 and 3 November 2019

Haunted London - Aldwych Station

Haunted London, Ghostly happening’s in London to get you in the mood for Halloween! We started the other day with the most haunted hotel in London that proved to be very popular. Now our next instalment, Part one haunted underground and railways.

Aldwych Station

The Station built on the site of the Old Royal Strand Theatre. Aldwych station opened as the Strand station on 30th of November 1907, later renamed due to the confusion of the same name used for Charing Cross station of that day. You can see from the picture that the entrance can clearly be seen.
