London Transport Museum - Charing Cross and Piccadilly Circus are back!

 

Two Hidden London favourites are BACK this autumn! Next week, we'll be launching tickets for Hidden London tours running between October and December 2021. Hot on the heels of Yesterday's Secrets of the London Underground documentary, this new season of tours is your chance to get up close and see some of the stations featured for yourself. There are new dates of our virtual tours of Euston, Aldwych, Brompton Road, King William Street, York Road, our walking tour of Covent Garden and the West End, as well as the return of two of our most popular Hidden London tours after over 18 months away - Charing Cross and Piccadilly Circus.
