London's Abandoned Tube Stations

 Wills Week writes:







Did you know that there are no less that forty-six abandoned tube
stations on the London Underground network. The easiest to spot is on
the Central Line on the left hand side (going East and up-hill) about
200 yards after Holborn station. Within a few seconds of leaving
Holborn, you’ll race through ‘British Museum’. If you cup your hands
(I’ve done it) you’ll just see the old station platform and even a WW2
air-raid shelter poster. It’s awesome, although not quite as spectacular
as the rumour that’s been circulating for years – that it’s been
preserved since the day it closed before the war, complete with all the
original advertising posters etc. If only someone had the foresight to
have pickled that!
