Imagine an alternative London, where you can catch a direct tube from Biscuit Town to the Leper Hospital. Where.
Imagine an alternative London, where you can catch a direct tube from Biscuit Town to the Leper Hospital. Where you hop on the Circle at the West London Air Terminal and change at Hippodrome for a train to Bedlam. This is the tube map of Lost London, showing buildings, shops and physical features that were once well known but have now faded into history. Some losses are definitely for the best. Few would welcome back the public horror of Tyburn gallows, or the miserable Marshalsea Prison.
Other losses are a cause of some regret: Euston Arch and the Astoria, for example. Imagine a city where Whitehall Palace still stands, and Old London Bridge yet straddles the Thames. Of course, we're barely scratching the surface. We've not included the Overground or DLR, and have limited the scope to (roughly) zone 1. A whole heap of buildings such as Watkin's Folly and the White City Olympic stadium are left out, and we don't have room to include all the important stuff lost from central London. Below, is a rough guide to each of the chosen lost landmarks, with links to further information.
Aldwych Spur (Holborn): One of London's many lost 'ghost' stations, Aldwych closed to passengers in 1. Holborn. The station opens for occasional tours. Angel Inn (Angel): The local tube station, wider area and Monopoly property are named after a now- vanished coaching inn, which occupied the busy crossroads site from the late 1. The present building did serve as a pub for a time, before being converted to a cafe. Today it's a Co- op bank, but the neighbouring Wetherspoon pub has appropriated the name The Angel.

Astley's Circus (Waterloo): The world's first circus ring was pioneered close to what is now Waterloo Station. Astley's circus developed over a succession of increasingly impressive buildings during the late 1. It continued long after Astley's death and almost made it to the 2.

Festival of Britain, and the Lion Brewery, whose decorative felines can still be found on Westminster Bridge and Twickenham stadium. Watch Torture Chamber Online.
Astoria (Tottenham Court Road): The much- lamented gig venue was swept away in 2. Crossrail. Many other buildings and businesses in the area, including parts of the 'Tin Pan Alley' music district, have also been expunged. Barkers (High Street Kensington): Kensington's most famous department store lasted from 1. It was founded by John Barker and James Whitehead, who would both become members of parliament.
Its most recent building still stands. Baynard's Castle (Blackfriars): A small fortress near Blackfriars, built not long after the Norman Conquest but demolished some time in the 1. The name was later revived in a nearby mansion, used by the House of York during the War of the Roses. It was largely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1. Bedlam (Liverpool Street): St Bethlehem's Hospital, or Bedlam as it was commonly called, was in medieval times located near what is now Liverpool Street station.
It survived the Great Fire, but was nevertheless rebuilt in nearby Moorfields in the 1. That building, too, is long gone. The hospital moved once again in 1. Imperial War Museum. Biscuit Town (Bermondsey): Peek Freans' biscuit factory once dominated the area south of what is now Bermondsey tube. Known affectionately as Biscuit Town, the complex gave the world the chocolate digestive, garibaldi and bourbon biscuit. It closed in 1. 98.
Many of the buildings remain, converted to office use. Another nearby 'lost district' is Jacob's Island, a notorious nest of criminals that features in Dickens's Oliver Twist as a hideout of Bill Sikes. The slum was cleared in the mid- 1. Bucklersbury House (Mansion House): A sprawling 1.
The ancient course of the River Walbrook was found beneath, along with many important Roman artefacts. A new headquarters for Bloomberg, and a visitor centre showcasing the remains of the Roman Temple of Mithras have now been constructed on the site. Catch- Me- Who- Can (Euston Square): London's first passenger railway was just a showpiece, and only went round in circles, but Trevithick's engine was ahead of its time.
His track was on the site of UCL, and ran three decades before trains came into nearby Euston station. Christ Church (Lancaster Gate): This landmark church was largely demolished in 1. The spire still stands, but is cocooned in something brown, skeletal and unspeakable. Cripplegate (Barbican): A long- lost gateway into the Square Mile, which gave its name to a wider area around what is today the Museum of London. It was bombed to smithereens in the second world war, and is now replaced by part of the Barbican estate. The name lives on as a City of London ward, the church of St Giles Without Cripplegate and a minor road.
Diorama (Regent's Park): The Diorama building still stands (look at the roofline while passing along Park Square East and you'll see the name still painted onto the Nash Terrace), but its contents are lost. Like the nearby London Colosseum (see below), it housed impressively huge paintings, which would be cleverly illuminated for a paying audience who sat in a rotating auditorium. It opened in 1. 82.
Dust Hill (King's Cross): King's Cross is, of course, already named after a lost structure — an unpopular monument to George IV, which stood just 1. The area has many other lost features, however, including a smallpox hospital, a suspended railway and this delightful mound of dust.
Earl's Court (Earl's Court): The name of this tube station remains the same on our map, to reflect the departure of the Earl's Court exhibition centre. The complex is being demolished to make way for a new housing estate. Many existing homes will also be removed. Euston Arch (Euston): An imposing entrance piece for Euston station, torn down in 1.
Great Hall. A campaign to rebuild the arch has received plenty of publicity, though we're not so sure. Farriner's (Monument): The famous bakery of Thomas Farriner (or Faryner) on Pudding Lane, where the Great Fire of London is believed to have started.
Not only was this building was consumed, but also 8. City of London — hence, it deserves a mention in our map of Lost London. Flower Market (Covent Garden): Covent Garden had served as a market for flowers, fruit and vegetables since the 1. The logistics of supplying a central London market finally got the better of it, and the produce was carted off to Nine Elms in 1. Watch Hitchcock's film Frenzy for a glimpse of the market's twilight.
Foundling Hospital (Russell Square): A home for abandoned children was opened by Thomas Coram in the fields north of Holborn in 1. Most of the buildings were demolished in the early 2. The legacy lives on, however, with a children's playground and the nearby Foundling Museum. Great Exhibition (Hyde Park Corner): The south side of Hyde Park was the original location of the Crystal Palace, built to house a grand exhibition of the wonders of empire. The remarkable glass building was taken down the following year and rebuilt in Sydenham, giving its name to the wider area.
Another 'lost' item at Hyde Park Corner is the monumental sculpture of the Duke of Wellington, which once perched on top of the arch. It was deemed preposterously oversized, and was shifted to Aldershot Barracks in 1. Great Synagogue (Aldgate): After the return of the Jews to England in the 1. Duke's Place near Aldgate.
