An exploration of the abandoned tributaries of Londons vast and vital transportation network through breathtaking images and unexpected stories Hidden London is a lavishly illustrated history of disused and repurposed London Underground spaces. It provides the first narrative of a previously secret and barely understood aspect of Londons history. Behind locked doors and lost entrances lies a secret world of abandoned stations, redundant passageways, empty elevator shafts, and cavernous ventilation ducts. The Tube is an ever-expanding network that has left in its wake hidden places and spaces. Hidden London opens up the lost worlds of Londons Underground and offers a fascinating analysis of why Underground spacesincluding the deep-level shelter at Clapham South, the closed Aldwych station, the lost tunnels of Eustonhave fallen into disuse and how they have been repurposed. With access to previously unseen archives, architectural drawings, and images, the authors create an authoritative account of Londons hidden Underground story. This surprising and at times myth-breaking narrative interweaves spectacular, newly commissioned photography of disused stations and Underground structures today. Published in association with the London Transport Museum Exhibition Schedule: London Transport Museum (October 2019October 2020)
