Get ready to party beneath the streets of London, as Transport for London (TfL) is now offering disused Tube platforms, cable cars, and river piers for hire. Embark on a unique experience and host your next function in one of these iconic locations, providing a glimpse into the city’s hidden gems.
One of the most intriguing options is Aldwych station, a former terminus on the Piccadilly Line. This Grade II listed building boasts original ticket halls, lifts, and abandoned platforms, creating an evocative ambiance for any social gathering. Aldwych played a significant role during both World Wars, sheltering precious artworks from London’s galleries and museums.
Those seeking a more modern setting can opt for the disused Jubilee Line platforms at Charing Cross or the Waterloo and City line platforms at Bank Station. Each of these offers a unique charm, featuring stationary trains or connecting walkways that add a touch of urban intrigue to your event.
But it’s not just Tube stations that are up for grabs. You can also hire the IFS Cloud Cable Car, providing breathtaking views of the city skyline, or river piers such as Westminster Pier and Blackfriars Pier, offering a picturesque setting along the River Thames.
Julie Dixon, head of customer information, design, and partnerships at TfL, expressed her excitement about the new hire options: “There are so many interesting locations across the TfL network, and I am thrilled that we can now offer some of these for exclusive event hire.”
Despite the lack of information regarding pricing on TfL’s commercial events page, you can complete an event spaces hire briefing form to inquire further. Get ready to make your next party an unforgettable journey on the Tube network or one of its unique landmarks.
