Let’s take a wander into the Underground for the second time this week. Instead of looking at the structure and incidents that have occurred there, we are going to look at the ghost stations: the stations that flick on the side of your vision as you speed through, wondering if you were seeing things or not.
When you ride the Piccadilly or Northern line today, you are travelling through a living system. But right behind the tiled walls, and just beyond the darkened windows of your carriage, sits another network entirely: a subterranean world frozen in time.
Transport historians believe there are over 40 abandoned or ghost stations beneath London. These forgotten hubs offer a rare, eerie glimpse into the evolution of London’s transport system and the city above its secret history.
