Jubilee Platform
Taken in the Hidden London tour of Charing Cross's Jubilee platforms.
The Charing Cross Jubilee platforms opened in 1979, originally as a terminus to the line running from Stanmore. Before the platforms opened, a plan was developed to extend the Jubilee line onwards to Stratford; the route meant the line would pass onwards through Westminster instead, leading to the closure of the Charing Cross platforms.
The tour ran through the Jubilee platforms, the ventilation shaft, through to a spoil tunnel that extended out under Trafalgar Square to beyond the fourth plinth (this tunnel led to a shaft where the spoil from digging the station and tunnels was removed).
