CNN — As the oldest subterranean railway network in the world, the London Underground has been through Londons Disused Underground Stations lot of changes since it opened back in Several stations have come and gone in the years or so since then -- some never actually opened in the first place. Although many of the UK capital's nonoperational stations, entrances and passageways are still standing, the majority have been closed to the public for decades. But a Londons Disused Underground Stations book from the London Transport Museum uncovers the secret world of London's disused stations and underground Londons Disused Underground Stations. Down Street station, a disused stop in Mayfair where former UK prime minister Winston Churchill famously spent the night during World War II, is showcased along with Aldwych station in Central London, which closed around years after it opened in Meanwhile, the non-operational section of Charing Cross tube station, now regularly used as a filming location for blockbusters like "Skyfall" and "The Bourne Ultimatum," is Londons Disused Underground Stations included. Passengers can sometimes catch glimpses of disused tube stations while traveling. There's a sense that there's always more going on than meets the eye. London Transport Museum has been running tours of some of the sealed-off stations across the city sporadically since the s. However Hidden London, the museum's exclusive program of tours and events at disused stations and secret sites, wasn't launched until It began with tours of Charing Cross station, Clapham South, Down Street and Aldwych, before adding eight others, including the Clapham South deep- level shelter in south London and the abandoned tunnels of Euston in central London. Photographers Toby Madden and Andy Davies captured some of the eeriest parts of the underground world, such as the sealed tunnels located under the Thames and Londons Disused Underground Stations passenger walkways, for the project, which will also form part of an upcoming exhibition at the London Transport Museum. Also, it still has all the offices and facilities placed there for the duration of World War II. The design and architecture on display at the disused stations is captivating, particularly the Edwardian ticket hall tiling design at the non- operational York Road station, located between King's Cross and Caledonian Road, and the original ticket office at Aldwych. The reasons behind the closures of the Londons Disused Underground Stations, or in some cases, sections of the stations, vary. Some were shut to make way for sites more equipped for elevators, others were terminated to help speed up the network as London's population grew and the tube got busier, while others closed so they could be turned into ventilation shafts. The sealed tunnel entrance that leads from King William Street station. Of course, taking groups of visitors, along with photographers into underground areas that have been closed for decades is no easy task. The ratio of visitors to staff during the visits has to be very high to ensure safety, while all workers involved must have extensive training in emergency procedures. People have to have their wits about them. In fact, some of the stations featured in the book are still almost completely inaccessible for this very reason. King William Street, the oldest, disused deep tube station in London, remains out of bounds as it only has a single entry and exit point. However, the team at Transport for London are intent on Londons Disused Underground Stations more disused Londons Disused Underground Stations to their programe, with the old part of Moorgate station in the City of London next on the horizon.

However, it is also a city well-served by open spaces. There are numerous small parks which provide relief retreat from city life, while areas such as Richmond Park and Riverside, Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest and Wimbledon Common are real recreational treasures. Although not so obviously popular, many of our cemeteries and churchyards provide a much overlooked such amenity. Many of those established in Victorian times were designed to be used as places of recreation by the public as well as places of burial. Many are still in use and remain beautiful and interesting places for quiet walks. Some, on ceasing active use for burials, have been developed as wildlife sanctuaries and community parks. As is the case with parklands, there are some especially splendid cemeteries in the capital which stand out from the rest. I would personally recommend the City of London, Islington and St.

    Field Studies6 (1985), 269-290 RECREATION, MANAGEMENT AND LANDSCAPE IN EPPING FOREST:c.1800-1984 R. L. LAYTON Field StudiesCouncil: Epping Forest Conseraation Centre, High Beach,Loughton, Essex ABSTRAcT The proximity of Epping Forest to London has ensured that its role as an imporr- ant centre for recreation has continued for several hundred years. It is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest, encompassinga diversity ofhabitats, many ofwhich have an ancient origin. The existence of detailed historical and contemporary records provide a unique opportunity to study the themes of recreation, management and environmental impact, including their interaction during the last two centuries. As well as considering the hisrorical trends in the Forest as a whole, the paper examines two areasin particular detail. INtnonucttoN TUB INcnpesgof leisure time in modern society has resulted in a growth of the number of people engaged in outdoor recreational pursuits. To academics, especially those in the social sciences, it has presented an exciting new field of research and investigation (Burton, 1970). Attention has focused on the themes of recreational activities, manage- ment or environmental impact. Flowever, few studies have sought to encompassall three aspects.This paper aims to investigate the relationship between visitor behaviour, land management and environmental impact, as demonstrated by Epping Forest during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The paper is divided into three sections. The first outlines the general trends in recreation, Forest management and woodland structure; the second examines the interrelationships between these three aspects; the third uses two casestudies to demonstrate these chansesin detail. Epprtlc Fonrsr-GBNERAL TRENDS The Study Area Epping Forest is an area of some 2428 hectaresof ancient woodland, plains, marsh and open water.

Natural dispersal mechanisms cannot explain their increased distribution and fish stocking was not a factor. Thus, the accidental movement of either their eggs or larvae via anglers’ nets was believed to be the mechanism by which these fish were accidentally moved between waters over 100 km apart.
