Hidden London: the Exhibition
Visit an “abandoned” Tube station underworld and discover what secrets are hidden beneath our busy streets in our new Hidden London exhibition at London Transport Museum!
Hidden London: the Exhibition takes you on a journey of some of London’s most secret spaces in the world’s oldest underground system. These “forgotten” parts of the Tube network have incredible stories to tell about Britain’s wartime past.
You can enjoy the largest number of rare photos and objects from disused stations that have been brought together in one location.
Discover stories about how Churchill took shelter at the height of the Blitz deep underground at Down Street station. See how shelterers lived down at Clapham South station, where they slept and how they kept entertained.
You can also explore other locations that we have recreated in our Global Gallery, including the historic abandoned ticket hall at Aldwych station with an original 1930s ticket office.
The exhibition uncovers why these “lost” parts of the underground network exist. Changes in population, economic priorities and political pressures have all led to spaces being abandoned. But they rarely stay that way. While some sections of the Tube system lie “forgotten”, many have been repurposed for new activities and are used for special Hidden London tours, growing salad leaves, and for filming locations, including Charing Cross, which featured in Skyfall (2012).

【推荐2】Vibram FiveFingers Shoe Sale
● Styles
Vibram FiveFingers Shoe, more like gloves than shoes, come in a variety of styles and sizes including KomodoSport, Classic, Sprint, Flow, KSO, Bikila, men's styles FiveFingers Spyridon, and women's styles. Children's KSO styles are available. KSO is the most popular. The Vibram FiveFingers Classic Barefoot Shoe is one of the most creative products on the market and is based on the concept that being barefoot helps you balance, your connection with the earth and energy, and gives you the ability to move in a more natural, healthy way.
● Origin
Vibram FiveFingers was invented in 1999 by Robert Fliri, a design student from Vinschgau who wanted to "figure out a way to keep firm when moving around." They were developed and introduced in 2005. These super-thin sports shoes will be a hit in the world of running and fitness.
● Purpose
Their potential use of Vibram FiveFingers was suggested to the Vibram CEO by Ted McDonald, a runner who earned the nickname "Barefoot Ted" for his bare feet and successful career as a barefoot running coach. The purpose of these shoes is to provide for fitness, running, water sports, yoga, travelling and other sports. However, Vibram FiveFingers is a type of sports shoe, which was originally invented for boat racers to deep firm on wet smooth boat floors without the barefoot experience.
● Health effects
Strange though FiveFingers may look, these so-called barefoot shoes reproduce the effect of barefoot running but with less pain. Barefoot running, which is similar to running with FiveFingers on, appears to decrease the risk of ankle injury.
