Episode Details

Hidden beneath London’s Central Line lies Gants Hill station—a forgotten architectural gem designed by Charles Holden, inspired by the Moscow Metro. With grand arches, tiled columns, and a vibe that feels like another continent, it’s one of Holden’s last major works for London Transport. Once a wartime shelter and munitions factory, it opened to the public in 1947 as the easternmost Tube station. Now being spotlighted by the London Transport Museum, this underground marvel invites you to take a detour east and discover a piece of Moscow right in the heart of London.
