I recently went on my second Hidden London tour, and this one has been my favorite so far. The tour took us back to around the 1960s and offered a complete time capsule of what life was like back then. These tours are definitely worth doing if you want to discover hidden gems like this in London..

From the information I found online, the Euston tunnels have been abandoned for over 60 years and are like a real time capsule of what life was like back then. The Euston main line station opened in 1907. The other two buildings in Euston closed down in September 1914, leaving only the tunnel. The mainline station was rebuilt in the 1960s, causing the old connection passages and ticket hall to close down in April 1962..

I've often thought about going on these tours for many years, but each time I've tried to book, they have always been sold out. So, as soon as I saw that there were spaces available, I seized the opportunity and took the tour. And what can I say? It was amazing! The guides were very knowledgeable and took their time to explain things and answer any questions we had. We did the last tour of the night, so it was a bit quieter. Overall, the tour is definitely worth it. Clapham South is one of eight shelters built and opened to the public in July 1944. They were designed to hold up to 8,000 people. After the war, the tunnels were used for a number of different purposes. In 1956, following a fire at another deep shelter, the government ordered that all deep shelters needed to close. The tunnels were used for document storage until around 1999, before being abandoned until 2015/2016 when TFL bought the tunnels and began to run tours. These tunnels are listed as grade 2 historical structures.
