Many of us have travelled along the large labyrinth of tunnels that lay beneath the streets of London, but lesser know is of the miles of abandoned tunnels that run along side them, a now disused part of the network.. but if you look closely you can discover hints of their existence through the remains of their station buildings which can be found all around London, and today we take you for a look at one of these stations of Aldwych on the Strand.

Fascinating. Thanks for taking us along this adventure with you.
Thanks Sean, we had a great day. Glad you found it interesting 👍😊
Fascinating insight into this underground station. Beautifully filmed and presented👍👍
Thanks Anthony, we were very limited on how much we were able to do down there so had to be abit imaginative with the editing lol. Really appreciate your lovely comments and support 😊👍
An excellent video today. Actually walked by this entrance many times during my trips to London. Thank you for the tour today. Cheers ma’am! ❤😊
Thanks Martin, we'd waiting so long to get a chance to come here.. definitely worth a visit. Thanks for watching 😊
Excellent video guys! Thanks so much for sharing this. Really cool you were allowed to film down there you really got some great footage and the narration by Em on the history was excellent.
Thank you, we worked really hard on this one considering we were only given a very limited amount of time to film.. They didn't mind you filming as long as it wasn't of the actual tour guide themselves but I think we managed to still put something fairly decent together.. Thanks for watching, glad u liked it 😊👍
This is amazing. I love the abandoned underground stations so thanks for the look inside this one
Not too many people know this but I'm almost obsessed with anything to do with the London underground so to get the chance to visit one if its abandoned stations was a dream come true! 😍
remember as a child being terrified of the lifts and me and grandad counting the stairs up and down - fond memories thanks for sharing sending regards
I remember having similar memories as a child.. didn't go in a lift for years lol. Thanks for watching as always 😊
@@ExploringWithEmAndStu those lifts where rattly old things i always felt like I was on a ship -😂
😂
Hi Guys. Enjoyed the video so much and brought back memories when I have been on this line when I used to work in Holborn
Thanks Em and Stu 👍👌
Hi Derek, it's really interesting that you worked at Holborn, I love that station being that it was designed by Leslie Green but that he wasn't allowed to use his usual Ox blood red tiled trademark facade so not alot of people recognise it as one of his..
Nice that it brought back some memories for you.. Thanks for watching 😊
Great video Em and Stu and good you’ve managed to tick another one off your bucket list.Can imagine that place VERY creepy at night and reminds me of the film ‘American Werewolf in London’..Look forward to your next video.Regards Simon👍
Thanks Simon, we've waited sooo long to get the opportunity to go here.. hopefully we'll get on a few more of their tours in the further.. They actually say that the station is haunted by a female actress who used to perform at the Strand theatre that was on the site before the station was built.. Most Haunted did an episode there years back.. 😳 Thanks for watching 👍
Really fascinating. I know the area well and have always wanted to head down there. Thanks both. Hope all is well.
We'reall good thanks Ben, I've wanted to visit one of these places for years as I've always been fascinated with the london underground architecture, so was absolutely in my element! They do many more tours at other hidden london places so hopefully we'll get the chance to go on some more in the future..
Thanks for watching 😊 👍
wonderful film as per usual.
Thanks David, really appreciate you watching 😊👍
Lovely little video !! Enjoyed the clips 😋
Id love to look round them one day !!
Unfortunately we were really quite restricted with that we could do and in a very small amount of time but it was still an amazing place to visit.. hopefully we'll book a few more in the future 😊👍
@@ExploringWithEmAndStu definitely!! Im going to try and book red sands at some point if your about too
AGAIN WE ENJOYED THE VIDEO,THANKS 🤩
Thanks you, we absolutely loved visiting there! 😀
Oh wow fascinating to see this once used as an air raid shelter during World War 2 - thank-you for sharing the history - really interesting as always
The history of this place along with most of the Underground network is just fascinating.. Hopefully we'll getbto a few more this year. Thanks for watching 😊
Hi guys just catching up on your vids.
I really enjoyed this one and would love to go on a visit to one of these places.
All the best.
☺️👍
They do lots of public tours.. definitely worth getting on one if you can.. we're hoping to do some more in the future.. Thanks for watching 👍
Wow great vid you two
Thanks Jamie glad you enjoyed watching 👍😁
They are quite a pricey tours but are fantastic to do
Yeah for the length of time they last they are quite expensive, but the money goes to help the upkeep of the transport museum which is good to know.. We'd love to do some more in the near future, Down Street is definitely top of our list! 😀👍
Great one !!!! If you fancy a good underground explore look at 'Drakelow tunnels' they do tours.
Ohh.. Will have to look into them.. love anything underground.. Thanks for watching 😊
Great vid guys loved it
Thanks Rob.. was a really great day. Hope you're keeping well 👍 😊
@@ExploringWithEmAndStu Hello Stu everyday getting stronger hope 1 day to bump in to you guys while your out and about be so good.
Glad you're doing OK.. we've a fair few local bits planned this year so u never know.. 😀
@@ExploringWithEmAndStu Look forward to that mate
cool
It's absolutely was! 😀👍
Hi, I saw a fog repeater at the platform, underground??? Regards JH
Yes quite common I believe on the underground, I'm not going to pretend that I know much about them though.. 😄
ive only ever cracked one deep level command post the kingsway telephone exchange i got busted 4 times gettin in there deff worth it bakerlite fones still left there coolicon lamps as well lovely old place
I bet that was quite an experience.. of course this was a guided tour and so not quite as exciting as going alone but still great to have the opportunity to see.. 😊
Would you say it's worth it?
It was for us as it's something we'd wanted to do for years and I've always been fascinated by the tubes history especially the abandoned stations.. Saying that it is quite alot of money for a tour that only lasts just over an hour and we personally felt it did feel abit rushed, we'd have certainly appreciated it abit more if they'd given us abit more time to look around and soak in the history.. I must say at times I did feel like we were being herded around abit like cattle lol. We did go at quite a busy time for them as the tours had only just started again after the lockdowns so maybe that was why as they had alot of them to fit in.. Saying that I'd still book another one next time we get a chance.. Hope that helps abit and if u have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask 😊👍
@@ExploringWithEmAndStu Ok I see. How much does it cost and did you book it in advance? I heard that it's bookable at and through the London transport museum.
