York Road or Aldwych if you want a museum.

Has someone paid £53m for *just* the below-ground-level bits of the
station?

What makes you think that?

Because of what you said about it ceasing to be "anything to do with
a tube station". You can't sell a tube station that isn't one any
more.

Or do they mean "we've sold a site that used to be a tube station,
but hasn't been for a long time, apart from some bits below the
surface".

Do you understand how the London Electric Railways built their tube stations
about 110 years ago?
