You know what I can't stand? When people leave their goddamned trash inside a perfectly good vintage elevator car. I do love that dinner bell "ding!" sound. Great find, Ben!
An awesome set of lifts, although it looks like time is starting to catch up with them and the boring generic buttons will be everywhere soon. I like that glass lift, not seen buttons like that on an Otis before.
your lift tours are very entertaining. tilting windows are fun. where is 7a in relation to 7? those otis lifts are still good. please keep them. 1960s fixtures are brilliant.
middle tower lift looks more broken they would not take 2 lifts off at once and it does not have the metal panels blocking it so just broken i'd say but no doubt its replacment is imminent
On the 1st modded otis lift why didnt they used original otis buttons instead of dewhurst? On the 2nd modded otis lift why didnt they put kss fixtures instead of crap dewhurst? The glass lift indicator is otis and the buttons are stannah thats kind of unusual
You won't like what I'm about to tell you....but Evil Owl has been here and Generics are now modernizing/replacing these lifts....seems to be part of all the upgrades they're doing to this place. I would send a photo, but RUclips has stopped allowing links in comments.....I'll message you with the pic.
+The_ALEX_ELLIS_Channel I hope they leave some of them original, but I fear that they will all be modernized. Do you know if the scenic elevator is going to be modernized? I really hope they don't do anything to the paternoster.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I really wanted to film these lifts, but they're being f***ing modernised. S**t a**es!
On priority service, you press and hold the open, close, or any of the floor buttons in order to operate the lift, it's like the fire service mode in amarica, but much easier.
Whenever I come to England, this hospital is a must-visit. Really amazing place!
Congratulations on this find!
Sign on bed lifts: Bed lifts only. Only for staff and beds.
Beno and urban explorers: yes, i am staff only person

I think that the glass lift is an otis with 70's dewhurst style thyssenkrupp buttons.
love the old 60s pushes,schindler had the same in 60s.
Wonderful lift tour! Make more!
Awesome lifts apart from the modded/replaced ones
all of the lifts has already been modernized
I liked how back then there were no American fixtures and Euro fixtures etc, Otis just gave everyone the same ones. Why can't it be like that now?
7:12 That lift seems to be modernized, you can hear the original bell.
I went there this week & the paternoster was switched off & there was a sign saying "Paternoster closed today for maintenance 18/11/15".
I filmed a otis lift at Covent Garden station going from platforms to street levels.
i love old elevators
A place that time forgot
@t
middle tower lift looks more broken they would not take 2 lifts off at once and it does not have the metal panels blocking it so just broken i'd say but no doubt its replacment is imminent
the ns button normally only work with a key or code
Does the hospital still look like that in 2021 ?
Thanks for that!
Really it is the hospital choose to modify the lift to do
The 80's lift is really a 90's lift or the indicator was replaced.
On the 1st modded otis lift why didnt they used original otis buttons instead of dewhurst?
On the 2nd modded otis lift why didnt they put kss fixtures instead of crap dewhurst?

oh right i never been on a old lift thats why i wondered i've been on a otis gen 2 thats the only otis i've been on
If you are stuck in staff lift you will be caught
Do you think that you can film some more trains and buses please
Hang on, so if the floors start from 3, what are floors G, 1 and 2?
I don't know why.
Sadly I Think All Of The Old Otis Have Been Replaced With Bog Standard Generics
I'm kinda upset you did not get to the paternoster, buddy
The paternoster is turned off forever. They will not turn it back on ever again.

I guess this place is now “A place where time remembers.”
all the same parts are easier to repair too.

It was on Priority service. I’m sure he didn’t press the button.

All The Lifts Are Generic
