Expert guides tell the surprising stories about the staff who built, operated and maintained the underground railway over the course of 100 years – from its construction in the early 1900s, through the heyday in the middle of the century, to the eventual closure in 2003.
The tour gives visitors a chance to get an in-depth insight into the workings of the postal tunnels and to explore a unique subterranean environment in the heart of London that many Londoners don’t know about. During the tour, you will be taken to an eerie yet fascinating train graveyard, and you’ll be shown the floodgates that kept the workers from harm.
