Vintage 1950s advertising posters in disused passageways at Notting Hill Gate tube station, London - photographed in 2010

Many people now know the story of the uncovered and disused ex-lift passageways in Notting Hill Gate tube station that LU workers rediscovered in 2010 after 50 years of being sealed up. I've now added a few more pictures to the set - a set that has garnered more attention that I could have ever imagined!

 

This is one of the more damaged of the set and shows two partial posters - the indecipherable top poster having been posted over one for the "London Dance [Studio] in Oxford St, London - "My, you have made progress" she says - his dancing lessons apparently having paid off!

 

 

The posters and passageways have, after much thought, been re-entombed and are again inaccessible so please don't pester the station staff
