So if you're a tube aficionado, you'll know the greatest thing
is getting into an abandoned, or disused tube station
which we're today here in this side street in Mayfair
as this grey door, leads down to the platforms, at Down Street
Down Street station sits on the Piccadilly Line between Green Park, and Hyde Park Corner
and closed in 1932, after being in service for just 25 years
it was used though during the second world was as a bunker, by Winston Churchill
and the war cabinet, and today ...
... are looking at using the space for commerical purposes
meaning that as a preview, we got to have a look round inside
We're about to go down, what was the emergency stairwell
two things, one .. beatiful tiles, secondly
The surface building ticket hall is now a newsagents
but inside the station there is a spiral staircase, lift shaft,
and two passageways with stairs that lead to the platforms
I can hear the trains down there but that's now where we're going
