About

Brutalism Beneath London

Why go

• Its vast concrete volumes, exposed steel beams, and sculptural escalator shafts turn a functional transport hub into an immersive spatial experience
• Monumental, almost cinematic: infrastructure as architecture
• Feels like descending into a secret kgb bunker

Must try

• Harry potter filming location
• Brutalist style of architecture
• Public subway toilets

Pro tips

• Exit 6 to see big ben behind you
• Exit westminster station, turn left, then immediately left for phone booths with big ben view
• Avoid buying an oyster card; tap your contactless credit card instead
• Take the tube to westminster station (jubilee / district / circle lines)

Good to know

• Westminster abbey was completely sold out, always pre-book
