Welcome to my web page. My name is Paul and I have an interest in all things related to the London Underground. 

​

One day I was looking for something online related to an abandoned tube station and after finding the information that I was looking for, this led me to another website and then another and then I thought that there must be a single website with lots of links to other websites. 

​

It turns out that I could not find one, but did find many other sites! So I decided to create this one, with as much information as possible, for other people to be able to look at. I am neither a graphic designer, or a web designer, just someone who thought they would "have a go" at creating a website, so I apologise if it may be a bit "rough around the edges".

I hope that you are able to find something here that interests you and if you have any suggestions for things to add please let me know using the Contact us button.

​

This project has taken a lot longer than I thought it would and I have learned so much from doing this.

​

Where possible, I have added links to other websites (shown by text underlined like this) that I have found whilst creating this site that may be of interest to you. 

The main wording for each station listed is taken from the Wikipedia for that station and if you click on the                                      at the top, this will take you to the full Wikipedia page for each station. If you are looking for something specific within a selected page, the ctrl+F buttons do allow a more refined search, but this is of a single page and not the site. I wanted the search site option to be more refined than what it is and if you know a way of doing this within Wix webpage editor, please use the contact us option to do so.

​

There is a brief history of the London Underground here and an overview here, with a more comprehensive one here, but in short, it started as a group of different companies, who all wanted to compete with each other and eventually got amalgamated into one. There have been a lot of trials and difficulties along the way, which can be read about in various books, some of which have been referred to here. 

There are lots of key people who have shaped the network into what it is today, a list can be found here.

There is far more information about the London Underground than what can be crammed into one website, so this is where other links have been added where appropriate

​

All photos (unless specified) are my own. If I have used your photo, please let me know.

​

I have sourced my information from as many different places as I can. I have found a lot of information from Wikipedia (which I know does have some inaccuracies) and some information I have found by looking at the Tfl maps and accessibility guides, The National Rail Stations site, Google maps, so I can see what is outside the stations and aerial views.

I have also found the cartomap site and the IanVisits station diagrams site very helpful.
