Down Street: Churchill's secret station

Down Street, nestled in the heart of Mayfair, London, offers a unique and captivating experience for those eager to uncover the city's hidden past. Since its inception, the Hidden London tour has been inviting curious minds to explore the disused Down Street underground station, operational from 1907 until 1932. This location's rich history extends beyond its years as a public transit stop, having served as the secret headquarters for the Railway Executive Committee during the tumultuous times of the Second World War. Visitors to Down Street will find themselves transported back in time, walking through a network of tunnels that once buzzed with wartime strategies and secrets. The tour not only sheds light on the crucial role railways played during the war but also shares the personal stories of those who found shelter within these walls, including Prime Minister Winston Churchill himself during the Blitz. Modern Indulgences at Manetta's Bar Following the historical exploration, guests are welcomed to unwind at Manetta's Bar in the luxurious Flemings Mayfair hotel. This establishment pays homage to the 1930s, known for its cosy yet glamorous ambiance, where spies are rumored to have exchanged secrets. Here, tour participants can enjoy the 'Darkest Hour,' a cocktail crafted exclusively for Hidden London guests, inspired by Churchill's resilience. The drink, along with a selection of gourmet snacks such as spicy olives, smoked almonds, and picos with pecorino, offers a perfect ending to an insightful journey. Manetta’s Bar, with its blend of history and modern luxury, stands as a testament to Mayfair’s evolving charm, providing visitors with a taste of London's spirited past and its vibrant present.

All About

Down Street

Down Street is a short but notable road tucked away in Mayfair, one of London’s most prestigious districts. The street takes its name from George Downing, a 17th-century diplomat and financier who also gave his name to Downing Street, home to the British Prime Minister. Historically, Down Street has played a quiet yet strategic role in London's story. Most notably, it once housed a secret underground station, Down Street Station, which during World War II was converted into a secure bunker used by Winston Churchill and other senior war officials.

Today, the street remains quiet compared to the surrounding bustle, with a refined atmosphere that appeals to those seeking privacy. Although primarily residential, a few well-regarded businesses operate discreetly here, such as high-end private offices and exclusive art advisory firms. These blend well with the elegant buildings and timeless charm that define the area.

Located just a short walk from Green Park Station, Down Street benefits from excellent transport links while offering a sense of calm away from busy roads. With its rich history, central location, and air of distinction, Down Street holds a unique place in London’s urban map.
