Organised by London Transport Museum
Explore the depot and uncover the hidden spaces below London's streets
We’re diving deep for all things Underground this autumn.
For our final Depot opening in 2021, we’re exploring the stories of dark and hidden spaces that lie beneath London’s streets. From a jam-packed programme of mini talks, heritage vehicle displays and fun activities for families, don’t miss out and book your tickets now!
What's on
Specific talks, activities and demonstrations are only running on certain days. Please check the full programme online when buying your ticket, which will be available in early September.
Secrets of the London Underground talk
Join Secrets of the London Underground and Hidden London Hangouts expert, Siddy Holloway, as she talks about her love of disused Tube stations and reveals some of the behind-the-scenes secrets that went into the making of the Yesterday TV series. With broadcast clips of subterranean secret tunnels and stations from the Yesterday channel series and a Q&A this will be a real treat for fans.
Please be aware Siddy will be hosting two talks on Friday afternoon only, and spaces will be issued on a first come first serve basis.
Mini talks
Take a seat in our lecture theatre for one of our bite-size, half hour lectures given by our knowledgeable volunteer team. Including topics such as art and poster history, station architecture and heritage vehicles, there will be a huge amount to sink your teeth into.
Talks will be taking place at 11:30, 12:30, 13:30, 14:30 and 15:30 and seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. These talks are best suited for adults but older children with a keen interest in transport are welcome to attend.
Discover the vehicles
Delve deeper into our transport treasure trove and stop to have a chat with our friendly volunteers who will be on hand to tell you more. Make sure to head outside and see the 89Q tower wagon (1936) and 351X Fordson tractor (1937). Both of these rare vehicles are not often on public display so are not to be missed.
Hands-on demonstrations
Try your hand at being a Train Operator in the Victoria Line driving cab or watch a demonstration with restored London Underground signalling frames.
