Opened on 10 January 1863 as part of the Metropolitan Railway, Baker Street was home to the launch of a revolutionary idea – carrying passengers beneath Victorian London’s congested streets. Cutting a 90-minute journey to just 20 minutes, the ‘Met’ revolutionised travel in the city. Led by an expert guide, explore closed-off parts of the station including original platforms, disused lift shafts and corridors that are hidden in plain sight. Learn about the station’s history as the Operational Headquarters for London Underground and hear first-hand accounts from those who worked there. Delve into 160 years of history, from the early Victorian days to today’s busy station of 10 platforms and five Underground lines. Hear initial impressions of underground travel in 1863 and how the Underground evolved over 16 decades. | Greater London - LONDON
