Answer 2

There are several dozen permanently closed London Underground stations across the London Underground ("tube") network. Some were simply built too near to other stations to be useful; others experienced too little use to make their retention worthwhile, or became redundant after lines were rerouted. Some of the closed stations retain their original station façades, while others have been demolished to make way for shops. At least one (Aldwych) is now used for filming and exhibition purposes. A number of other stations, Charing Cross for example, while still open, have closed platforms or sections.
