Back in the 1950s, old lifts were removed in the Notting Hill tube station in favor of more modern escalators. Recent work at the station revealed these posters in the old lift passageway. Thanks to mikeyashworth for the information.
 

The Hidden Passageway

A treasure of original posters was found in this corridor.

I lived in London for three years and my first flat was in Bayswater - one tube stop before Notting Hill Gate. These piks make me very sentimental; I'd like to go back.
