both Aldwych and the disused Jubilee Line platforms at Charing Cross get used for filming - they're both still accessible by trains, so make a pretty authentic set. The LU Film Office has a bit more info on these.

I've managed to visit both of these - Charing Cross, as part of a rail tour on London Transport Museum's 1938 Tube Stock train; and Aldwych on a 'Blitz Experience' tour.


Charing Cross platform 3 - out of passenger service since 1999.
