Delve into the intrigue of &#39;ghost&#39; platforms secluded from public view and marvel at the elegance of the world clock in Piccadilly. From historical anecdotes to contemporary insights, this tour is for every enthusiast of London&#39;s underground heritage.

Commencing at the historic&nbsp;Baker Street Station, a cornerstone of the Metropolitan Railway - the world&#39;s inaugural underground railway - our immersive walking tour unfolds under the guidance of our Expert Guide. Delve into the rich tapestry of the&nbsp;Tube&#39;s 175-year saga, from the pioneering construction of the&nbsp;Thames Tunnel in 1843, celebrated as &#39;The Eighth Wonder of the World&#39;, to an array of world-firsts, captivating tales and urban legends.

Unravel the&nbsp;evolution of the Tube, from its steam-powered origins to&nbsp;electrification, and the manual excavation of its earliest tunnels preceding technological advancements. Explore its metamorphosis from a tourist hotspot to an integral cargo network and public transit system, unveiling the mysteries behind&nbsp;over 40 abandoned stations&nbsp;and the iconic &#39;roundel&#39; symbol.
