London's Disused Underground Stations
At least 40 London Underground and Overground stations are disused, Transport for London says. Some have been demolished or absorbed into operating infrastructure, while others survive behind locked entrances or are maintained for training and film production. Aldwych station closed in September 1994 after the cost of replacing its lifts was judged unjustifiable. It later served as a location for productions including 28 Weeks Later, V for Vendetta, Creep and the Prodigy video for "Firestarter." The 1981 film An American Werewolf in London also used Tottenham Court Road, which remained an operating station, for part of its Underground sequence. A disused sub-surface platform area has cast-iron columns and girders, a soot-darkened brick vault, a bricked-in arch, exposed cabling and temporary barriers, but no visible signs identify the station. |

Re: London's Disused Underground Stations
I'll star as the freak I live here in London and use the tube all the time. The film 'An American Werewolf In London' had a scene filmed in Tottenham Court Road station on the Northern Line branch. I thought it was filmed in the abandoned Aldwych station, but no. Anyway, thanks to the werewolf scene, I don't like that station when it's really quiet |

Re: London's Disused Underground Stations
History in the Tubes is awesome, used to show you old stations and stuff but no longer do that as its a safety risk althought the oppertunity did arise not to long go which sold for aprrox £3000 to go on a "private" tour would of been erie no doubt |
