Goodge Street 🙂

I am reliably informed that this scene scared the heebie jeebies out of the audience at the time. Luckily we are still a couple of weeks away from the next full moon so if you’re visiting Tottenham Court Road there’s nothing to worry about. For now…

The green and cream tiles seen on the platforms date back to 1907,but have since been replaced by Eduardo Paolozzi’s colourful mosaics in 1986. The platform with the train arriving and departing is the northbound Northern Line platform, and the train in the scene is a 1972 stock

The London Underground station used in the film is Tottenham Court Road, with the name sign visible in multiple shots. The station was very much a working station at the time, but filming took place after the last trains of the day.

No these aren’t clips from a TFL educational video, warning of the dangers when you run on the escalator! These are stills from one of the most famous film scenes to be shot on the London Underground, appearing in the 1981 film ‘American Werewolf in London.’ Cont. below

Couldn’t agree more!

From Hue Gardens to Shepherd’s Brush. I thought it would make a nice change to show some paintings that have been inspired by the London Underground over the years. The name of paintings and artists are listed below in the comments. Let me know your favourite. #London

Embankment 🙂

Wonderful. Look at those platform indicators that are still going strong. I will send you a message with my email.

Can you guess which tube station this is? And yes that is my new book which is available for pre-order, how perceptive of you! 🙃 London Underground

I am very jealous and it’s a very impressive and historical picture. I did a post not long ago about South Acton station.

92 years ago today Manor House, Turnpike Lane, Wood Green, Bounds Green & Arnos Grove opened on the Piccadilly line as part of the extension that would eventually make its way to Cockfosters. On the same day York Road closed to speed up journeys on the extended Piccadilly line

It is 50 years ago today since Harry Beck, the designer of the iconic London Underground tube map, died. #LondonUnderground
