Taken on Piccadilly Circus: The Heart of London tour
Located directly underneath the celebrated landmark, Piccadilly Circus station opened in 1906 serving the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines.
Extensively modernised between 1925 and 1928 to meet passenger demands, the station is an engineering marvel and boasts one of the finest examples of subterranean architecture on the London Underground.
This timeless grade II listed building serves over 40 million passengers a year in style. Redesigned by celebrated architect Charles Holden and reopened in 1928 it was nicknamed the “New Heart of London”.
Visitors will go behind secret doors, to passageways and lift shafts closed to the public since 1929 and discover the original Edwardian design features, the fascinating stories of wartime sheltering and top-secret storage of priceless artefacts. Piccadilly Circus offers a unique perspective of how the London Underground has grown and adjusted to Londoners’ needs for over a century.

Ready for hats, coats and, no doubt, admiring remarks. This larger coat rack from the Pipework Series attractively combines fun and function. The Pipework Series exploits the raw visual impact of exposed pipes to create useful products with striking industrial appeal. Repurposed, more than recycled !

Rusting pipework in a greenhouse. Slightly cropped to centralise and colour turned up a bit. Liked the symmetry and feeling of age and some decay.
These mauve thingummies are part of the Bird's Eye factory, taken from the sea wall at Lowetoft in the north part of the town.
A work of art pipework? At the Lodge entrance to Holly Mount School courtesy of Manchester Archives. This view would be familiar to Claremont boys who, when older were allowed only on Saturday afternoons to walk to "Tott" and visit the Picture House - a rare treat! There are some more photos of the route we took - soon to follow.
