Lost Underground Stations etc

[STEVIEBOY1]

Does anyone know if there are any books that can be ordered from Waterstones or Amazon, that would have a section regarding the "lost" or Closed underground and tram stations, eg Down Street, Holborn tram stop and other bits of unused tube and rail lines/subterrania in and around London? Tks.

Londons Disused Underground Stations by J.E Connor published by Connor and Butler. is recommended as I have a copy of it.
It does not list unused or partially built rail lines around line but there are web sites such as on Wikipedia that list them.

That is one of my favourite websites. It's very interesting and easier to navigate than subterranea britannica [sic].

They're all there - King William Street is on http://underground-history.co.uk/deeplevel.php, the other three are at http://underground-history.co.uk/cutncover.php...

Thank you for this link, I will have a good look at that when I get some spare time.

(By the way, I did used to do a bit of web browsing in my down time at work like you, but got caught a couple of times and received a severe "telling off" so am always wary of doing that now. )

I've found London's Abandoned Tube Stations to be fascinating too.

I have a book called "do not alight here" which covers underground and mainline stations. It gives you a guided walk so you can see interesting parts of some of these.
