Default Filming in Strand tube station

"Alan" quotes Tom Teodorczuk:
The movie, tipped to be one of next year's big hits, is being filmed
in different locations in the capital, including The Strand, where a
wartime London Underground Tube station has been re-created...


Alan's subject line suggests that he has in mind the station that
many people remember being called Strand, now part of Charing Cross,
but the article only refers to the street, The Strand. Presumably
the station involved is actually the late Aldwych. The name Strand
was moved from that station to the other one in 1915.


Indeed. The problem is that the entrance to the former Aldwych terminus is
in fact located on the south side of The Strand near Surrey St, not on the
nearby road called Aldwych. I'm not sure what, if any, name it currently
displays.
