The old Piccadilly Circus outgrew itself and rebuilt a new station due to an overload of commuters.

But its remains were used to shelter the lives of those in the Second World War.

Now Piccadilly Circus Station's history is being celebrated with a tour around the tunnels and an exhibition at the London Museum.
