#Transport for London is launching a new family Hidden #London tour at disused #Aldwych Tube station this summer for children aged 10–14, alongside the existing adult tour. It adds interactive tasks and storytelling to make the history more engaging for younger visitors.

Families will explore the former station’s platforms, ticket hall, lifts and original tiling, learning about its Edwardian origins, wartime use as a shelter, closure in 1994 and later role as a filming location. The experience includes puzzles, clues and sensory elements such as smell jars and recorded testimonies.

The family tour runs with the standard version from 16 July to 30 August, Wednesday to Sunday. Transport for London said it reflects growing interest from younger audiences and wider plans ahead of the museum’s 2030 anniversary.

Who remembers the Red Arrow Route 521 when it used to bypass #Aldwych via the Strand Underpass?

The bus route, which served Waterloo to #London Bridge, was withdrawn on 29th April 2023. This was filmed back in October 2015.
