I have just seen an old documentary that showed that all is not what it

District&Circle lines are not houses at all but just a facade with
nothing behind them, this apparently was to do with the cut&cover
tunnels, does anyone know more detail about this? It sounds very
interesting!

Well, if it's Bayswater rather than Notting Hill, and the Hammersmith &
City rather than the District or Circle, then you might be thinking of
numbers 23 and 24 Leinster Gardens:
