This episode celebrates the Hidden London Hangouts’ first birthday and will blow your mind. We’re so proud of this episode and we really hope you enjoy it.
That goes without saying - of course we'll enjoy it - it's got our fave HLH Team, our National Treasure! x
Happy HLH Anniversary! Just over an hour before the music starts.
I've found this series unmissable from the beginning, and this was terrific! I didn't know about York Road until I missed a stop and went through a weird closed station before I could turn around and return! I'm curious about whether images taken will be going into the LTM collection because I'm like others who probably go to the abandoned stations site, which seems to have a load of urban explorer type images taken a long time ago... Well done to the team, this Hang-Out has been unbelievably good and long may it continue!
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost the password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!

Great year many thanks Alex .
Hi team, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
What a superb episode, really enjoyed it, great to see you all together, so love the tiles in this station, thanks team X
Happy birthday team! What a year it's been, watching every episode of the Hangouts. While we haven't had it anywhere near as hard here in Brisbane as you've had in London, the series has still been a great distraction and something to look forward to every weekend.
Loved the end shot of this week's episode; it's amazing to think how many people a day go past there commuting in and out of London and don't even realise what's there.
Happy birthday to the Fab Four. Such a great episode, and an answer to the question about whether you are allowed to clean up the tiles. I always used to look out for York Road when travelling on the Piccadilly Line.
We clean them for illustration purposes but leaving them mucky is the authentic respect for the places we visit
Thanks, Alex, Chris, Laura and Siddy.
Another excellent episode.
Happy first birthday to Hidden London Hangouts.
I do miss going on the tube, and now I'm all jabbed-up, it won't be long now! Love these videos, they keep me sane, well done gang!
I asked about this after your excellent Holloway Road episode -so looking forward to this one. !!!
Having seen some pics in books I can promise other viewers we are in for a treat here. !!!!!!
You four haven't changed a bit! Loving Laura's hair down and big bow blouse too.
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY...HAPPY 1st ANNIVERSARY...HAPPIEST SHOW IN TOWN!!! See you all tonight, you ROCK our worlds! xxxx
Great fun seeing you all 'let out'! That end-shot is amazing...
Thank you!
A very Happy Birthday to my HLH friends! Wonderful episode and I can't wait to see what's in store for next week!
Great episode as always well presented by you four lovely people.a happy birthday to hidden London hangouts. the train passing at the end of the show blew my mind. the platform looked bigger than other stations. keep safe Fantastic four and many thanks.
I've just been on the King William Street virtual tour, so I will definitely be booking York Road when it's available. We'll done HLH team for another interesting explore. 👍
I decided to comment on this one, I wish I had seen these during lockdowns, but I am now getting to binge watch them, great stuff I hope to catch a live one soon, keep up the good work and I love the TV show too!
Birthday Greetings Fab Four!! Another intriguing episode that leaves us gagging for more. Can’t believe it all started a year ago but thank goodness you all got together and decide to put the Hangouts on. Although I shall never meet you in person I now feel I know you enough to count you as ‘virtual friends’, so my thanks to you all. By the way I told my 47 year old son about the Post Office Museum episode, which he always wanted to go to, so I think we may have a new HLH recruit!!
Dave you have our admiration and best wishes and now thanks for recruiting another into the fold. You never know... we may meet one day but until then we are all virtually connected!
I really loved seeing inside York Road. Very sad the public cannot go down there. Whenever I go passed on the Piccadilly Line there are always lights on. Why is that?? Thanks Alan. 😀
Brilliant series
This was a delight - thank you to the entire team. This takes a ton of work - that is really appreciated.
Happy one year anniv, please don't stop now :)
Been looking forward to a York Road episode for a while! Great work. Can't wait for the virtual tours to start.
This was fantastic! Already looking forward to next week.
York Road was renamed York Way in 1938 a few years the station closed.
Another Interesting fact when the Piccadilly was originally built Apart from York Road and Caledonian Road, Kings Cross Piccadilly station was also built step free access.
Hi guys - another fantastic episode ...
I’d love to see you do an episode about the northern heights and visit the the station sites north of Edgware as well as the ‘missing stations’ on the Mill Hill East line ...
Yup we’re on it!
Another wonderful hangout. I was always a London railway/underground enthusiast, but am now getting into trams and buses as well as the infrastructure. Keep going with the episodes. Are you going back to the IOW when the new (old) trains start running in May?
YES! We are looking forward to trying the new trains on the island!
The "piece of conduit" with the letter "S" behind it, looks like a Pyrotenax cable. ("Pyro" for short) They were (maybe still are) used in places there is a risk of fire. Petrol stations had to be wired entirely in Pyro. Fire alarm systems in commercial and industrial buildings had to be wired in Pyro.
A great episode, the architecture and tiling is brilliant. Thanks so much for allowing us to see it.
And I think Alex would like my photo from Angel based on his video at the end. 😀👍
Congrats on an entire year of HLH! I've seen every minute of every episode, and most of the Patreon extras (Patreon's taking my money but not recognising me as a Patreon member, so I gotta sort that out). When these episodes started a year ago, as a hard core Tube nerd, I kept wondering why these nice presenters talked so much! But after fast forwarding to the station investigation bits, I realised that they are experts, and a lot of detail and history is discussed in the run up to the station footage. I've posted many episodes on my Friday Reads column at LondonReconnections.com so that others might discover them too.
Have passed this onto the Patreon organiser to sort out the issue
I’ve always dreamed of buying and old tube station and turning into a house but a weird house based around original aspects of the tube station. Like the platform, some old rolling stock, etc. Or maybe a hotel under the same vein that would seem at points just like a normal tube station that you live in but with cool design elements, Haven’t watched the vid yet but York RD, or Down Street or some other central locale would be amazing.
Im gonna watch all the HIDDEN LONDON HANGOUT videos as it seems very interesting.
This is a Great video of a disused Tube station that ive wanted to visit since i was in my teens over 30 years ago.
I loved the "train" at the end!!
FAB runby at the end! Slowly working through past episodes..
Love the video , well done guys.
At (04:04) we have one of those questions of the age.
" Jenkinson! Draw from records for me the last memo will you? Where to garrison we whom also serve, here in the LT Executive div."
" Did the members come to a decision, sir? "
"Wehhlll... Dover Street or York Road, Dover Street or York ...
Years Jameson, yes we did, though it was dashed difficult you understand."
"Jenkins, sir and yes, yes I do."
A year of wonderful videos. Thanks guys. I’d love to get your thoughts on this on a future episode - putting on your Mystic Meg hats, what do you think the tube system will be like in say 50 years time?
That’s a good question. Driverless. Cooler. Still loved though.
Happy first birthday! I have a question: when Chris and Siddy are hiding near the fan and Alex and Laura are coming down the stairs...who is moving the camera? All 4 of you are accounted for elsewhere; did you find an obliging ghost to act as camera operator?
Yes George. Yorkie is the resident ghost at York Road. Quite obliging and pretty good with a zoom lens. You actually hear his voice when you see me cleaning the tiles later in the episode - he (yes, Yorkie is male - the spirit incarnation of the fan engineer of yesteryear) asks me if I also clean kitchens and bathrooms...). Yorkie is quite witty too.
Great video. Surely, in 2023 there is finally a case for the reopening of York Road?? ...the demand is there....and where once the surrounding area was sparse (considering how central it is), it's now full of new office buildings.
Don't understand why its reopening is still being refused. Though if it did reopen, it would be known as 'York Way'....unless they change the name of the road back to its original name?
If only York Road could be restored. Just wondering (typing) out loud - the main entrance / exit is sealed off, at a guess for the Victor printing company and whoever was there before them (if anyone)...where as the disused station entrance goes through the old Bingfield Street exit, past the bricked up exit lift shaft and breeze blocked booking hall on the right...seeing as the gents still very much exists, the ladies toilets were literally straight ahead where the first set of stairs are going down from ground level, inbetween the gents and ladies was some kind of room / space, a storage area perhaps, but they're bricked up.
I wonder if they've been incorporated into whoever has the ground floor business. Likely the old ladies toilets have been replaced by newer ones, and the other room turned into some kind of kitchen - unless the whole lot still exists but totally bricked up. Would be incredible to find out.
I'd have to clean the soot off those tiles though. Make them shine again, far more authentic than being covered in all that dirt. Absolutely love York Road. My childhood memories of Caledonian Road before it was refitted with new lifts are a bit faded now, but the layout really does look similar. Happy times.
Maybe with all the development at Kings Cross the time has come to reopen York Road
Hi Guys,
What sort of lever frame was installed at York Road?
Cheers, Bill the signalelectrician
Why the v tour when the building is accessible from the booking hall please?.
Too dangerous. Building needs a lot of work to make it safe for the public.
How can you have a physical virtual tour?
What is a physical, virtual tour?
Yes, kinda interesting, but PLEASE STOP SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON TILES.
