From the lost tunnels of Euston station. The last of 6 posts of posters seen, blocked out in rough topics. From the drafted post:

This is the last draft I set up. I'm never batching this many multiple posts again, but hopefully this has been fun for those catching them. Next time on, Hidden London photo archives: Charing Cross, which from memory is closer to the infrastructure post with regards to content.

Other posts in the series (now all fully linked):


Hidden London tours are run by Transport for London (TfL) of "the 'forgotten' parts of the Tube network". I was lucky enough to get 3 of them back in 2018, taking probably far too many photos that went onto my PC and haven't really been seen since except for the occasional mixtape cover or desktop background.

UNTIL NOW

a nice message we found on a wall in pen: "hi lads, enjoy the tour, lots of love, the local youths" [hearts]

These are from the Highgate station tour, an overgrown platform, closed back in the 60s which has tunnels that have been turned into a bat reserve. I may have tackled this folder first as it was a lot smaller than the others, but tune in soon for hopefully interesting shots of old advertising in Euston and old bones of infrastructure (Charing Cross).
