Hidden London: Discovering the Forgotten Underground

Love the TV series! Love the book! I spent 43 years commuting on the London Underground & it was never this good. Printed on really good quality paper. And full of beautiful photographs of what can only be described as tunnels - some parts of London should stay hidden but not these.

Brings such insight into hidden London - would recommend this book to anyone who loves London as much as me!

Such an indepth account of the abandoned stations on the London Underground.. Rivetting read

Despite living in Birmingham I've had a life-long fascination with the London Underground, which I'm pretty sure stems back to seeing An American Werewolf in London for the first time on TV, and becoming slightly scared yet intrigued with the transport system beneath London's streets. I'm still equally as interested now, and find the whole story of it's construction fascinating. The story of the lost and hidden stations has also been a real interest of mine, and so I've had my eye on this book for a while. Now it's arrived it's certainly worth every penny.Concentrating on some of the stations have have either been lost or repurposed over time as the network expanded there are plenty of intriguing tales in here as to how and why they fell into disuse, and the lavish text is accompanied by loads of amazing photos and technical drawings etc. It's a big old book but I ploughed through it in a single day and I was so taken with it.For anyone slightly interested in the London Underground this is a fantastic book, highly recommend.

Ok

I brought it for my dads birthday and his very happy with it

Very interesting book about the history of London underground. I has some historical photographs included in the book also. And it's has interesting information about London in WWII. Very good print quality and good hard bind book.

My friend loved it

Not quite what I expected but I really enjoyed it. I am fascinated by what's UNDER London as much as I am what's IN London. One of the best cities in the world, this book will add new dimensions to your appreciation of the city.

Genial libro para descubrir los espacios cerrados y sin uso de las líneas de metro de Londres. Escrito por especialistas del Museo del Transporte de Londres, incluye muy buen material gráfico, tanto actual como pasado. Totalmente recomendable.

Fantastico foto e storia

I bought this book because I am a lost places fan, and despite being German I grew up in London for several years during my youth. Now I really want to go back and see these spots on a guided tour.The book is very nicely done and works through several disused stations and lines in very extensive chapters with many photographs of then and now. It also names a lot of literature sources where to read up if you want to dig deeper.It may not be the complete history book and the coffee table look of the book may be irritating at first (once you start reading it is not), but it is a really enjoyable book to lead you into the subject and make you want "more".

As a book is a nice book but the specific book was in a bad condition. The seller refused to cover the returning shipping cost. Keep away from this seller.
