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 a slightly wider view of a group dominated by movie of film posters - with a range of more damaged posters to the right that include London Transport's own ones and a fine Peposdent toothpaste poster - the bright smile still ringing true after 60 years!

 

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