Description
See the ticket hall, the original lifts, abandoned platforms and tunnels, and inter-connecting walkways of Aldwych Station.
Aldwych station (as seen on Yesterday Channel’s ‘Secrets of the London Underground’) is one of London’s secret places, holding myths and memories of times gone by. Opened to the public in 1907, it was never as heavily used as originally intended and closed nearly 100 years later in 1994.
The station has had a varied history; from providing shelter to Londoners during the Blitz, to being used for film and TV shoots including The ABC Murders (2018), Darkest Hour (2017), Sherlock (2014), and Atonement (2007).

Boa opção para conhecer Londres. Ideal para ter uma visão geral e depois voltar ao que gostou mais. De todo o roteiro, Aldwych é o que mais lembro. O guia era bom, mas queria mais tempo para perguntas. Uma das paradas estava fechada naquele dia e não avisaram.

Imperdible
Vale muchísimo más de lo que cuesta. Ideal para tener un panorama general y después volver a lo que más te gustó. Solo por Segunda Guerra Mundial vale la pena el paseo. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. El audio se cortaba en un par de tramos.

Dia incrível
Terminamos o dia comentando como tinha sido bom. Nunca teríamos chegado a Segunda Guerra Mundial por conta própria. Dá para fazer tranquilo sem preparo físico. Recomendaria a qualquer um que visite Londres.

Dia incrível
Valeu cada centavo. Tudo pontual e bem organizado. Passar por Londres CityPASS já valeu o tour todo. Ótimo guia, atento com o grupo todo e muito paciente. É uma forma bem prática de se localizar na cidade no primeiro dia. O áudio cortava em alguns trechos. Não pense duas vezes, reserve.

Boa experiência, com um detalhe que vale saber antes. O guia conduziu bem o grupo. Não esperava que incluísse idioma: inglês, um plus. Pelo preço que pagamos, rende muito. Uma das paradas estava fechada naquele dia e não avisaram.
