75-Minutes Walking Tour in Piccadilly Circus
Overview
The world's leading museum of urban transport, invites you to join us on an exclusive guided tour of one of the most iconic stations on the London Underground: Piccadilly Circus station which opened in 1906.
This timeless grade II listed building serves over 40 million passengers a year in style. Redesigned by celebrated architect Charles Holden and reopened in 1928 it was nicknamed the “New Heart of London”.
