A secret disused underground station that was used by thousands of

Visitors have been able to take a tour of the Aldwych Tube Station,
one of London's closed underground stations, which included a platform
which stopped operating in 1914.

In what sense is it secret? The surface building is there for all to
see, and was in regular service until the mid '90s (even if not very
popular). Just about any holywood movie set in London seems to
feature it.

As I recall only one platform was used in latter years with a shuttle
service to Holborn and it is the other platform that is 'secret'.
