Aldwyching: London Underground are running commemorative Blitz trips down Aldwych station this weekend. Ooh, Aldwych station. It's been shut since 1994, and the lower levels are almost impossible to visit unless you make films or are a TfL employee. But 3000 members of the public will be taking a trip downstairs, led by an actor dressed as an air raid warden, to discover what life might have been like sheltering from the Luftwaffe 70 years ago. Bad luck, all the tickets have already been snapped up, but you'll no doubt be interested to hear what the tour's like...
• Ian visited. And took some photos.
• Darryl went down. And took some photos.
• Dean from Londonist descended.
• Ian's written about his visit.
• Peter took a preview tour.
• Chris took 71 photographs.
• Steve took 42 photographs.
• James recorded an audio review.
• The BBC filmed on the platform.
• Various newspapers filed reports.
