Aldgate East Tube station

This link shows a 360-degree view of the Aldgate East London Underground subway station. The Underground (or "the Tube" as locals call it) is how we'll get around London. Those who went on the last trip will recognize it as our "home station" just around the block from our hotel in east London. In case you don't know, the Tube is how we'll get around London. See the links at right for more Tube info. There's a lot of history here - this station was used as a major air raid shelter during the Blitz in the early days of World War II. Much of the station is unchanged since that time. There's no guarantee we'll stay in the same place next time, but this photo gives you a real sense of what a tube station is like. In the daytime it will be MUCH more crowded though.
