A popular tourist destination at Baker Street underground station, Madame Tussaud’s Waxwork Museum used to abut the London Planetarium which closed down many years ago. I guess people wanted to see different kinds of stars! Look at the top of the dome and you can see the globe.
There was a plaque outside the station which I saw for the first time. It was laid in 1912, and says: ‘ Beneath this roadway lies the world’s first underground passenger railway. It was opened for public traffic by the Metropolitan Railway Company on 10 January 1863.’
@marlboromaam - thanks - the Underground is a railway system which stretches NSEW of London and even stretches out of Greater London. No tours per se, but as a Senior London we get a Freedom Pass. Which means we can travel anywhere, anytime after 9am for FREE. It’s worth being old for this pass as transport is expense here. I gave up my car three years ago. Now I use public transport 75% of the time and my lovely hubby chauffeur drives me the rest of the time. I’ve travelled by tube to so many places with my art group that I didn’t know existed!
