British Museum- The Lost Station?
Tube Boy Started conversation Mar 15, 2001
I've been told from a few sources that there is a missing station, British Museum Station, on the Central line between Tottenham Court Road and Holborn. However, even being eagle-eyed, I constantly fail to spot it! Does it exist? Or have I just been had?!!! Any advice greatly appreciated!

By comparison to York Road (on the Piccadilly Line) British Museum is easy to spot. The best way (applies to most closed stations) to spot them is to keep looking out of the windows of the doors of tube trains (not double pained windows and therefore less reflection).
Going from Tottenham Court Road towards Holborn, if you stand towards the direction of travel, and look to your right you will see the walls very clearly, and the train will slow down when passing British Museum. You can discern a couple of posters and scrawlings in the dust on the wall tiles.
I believe that this is one of the few closed tube stations that no longer has any access to street level.
