If you're interested in exploring London's hidden history, this tour offers a unique behind-the-scenes experience.

You'll have the chance to uncover secret corridors that have been off-limits to the public for years. Walk through the original passageways of the City and South London Railway, adorned with beautiful Victorian glass tiles from 1900 and vintage poster fragments.

Venture into the 'Catacombs' beneath The Barbican Estate and walk the unused tracks of the City Widened Line, discovering the area's major transformations in the late 20th century.

Hear of Moorgate's fascinating past as a terminus for railways like the Metropolitan and the Great Northern and City Railways and learn how it became the starting point for the world's first deep tube, the City and South London Railway, which opened in 1890.
