Why choose this London tour ?
The world’s leading museum of urban transport, invites you to join us on an exclusive guided tour of Baker Street station to discover the origins of the world’s first Underground network. Opened on 10 January 1863 as part of the Metropolitan Railway, Baker Street was home to the launch of a revolutionary idea – carrying passengers beneath Victorian London’s congested streets. Cutting a 90-minute journey to just 20 minutes, the ‘Met’ revolutionised travel in the city and provided the foundation for Metro systems across the world.Explore closed-off parts of the station including original platforms, disused lift shafts and corridors that are hidden in plain sight – some of which were last accessed by the public over 75 years ago in 1945. Learn about the station’s history as the Operational Headquarters for London Underground, and hear first-hand accounts from those who worked (and played) there over the years.
