London Underground: Historic Baker Street Station 

Baker Street Circle Line platform is memorable for me. It was my gateway to London. Used to travel in on Met from Uxbridge and then change at Baker St. Reminds me of London days out with friends in the 1980s as a teenager. Sometimes we'd change at Rayner's Lane for Piccadilly Line and emerge at Sth Kensington.

* She was so astonished at hearing that there was a good service on all lines at 3:55 that she jumped off the train in astonishment!

Beautifully filmed with slow pans, attention to detail and the right mix of historic building to trains. A quality of video I've seldom seen on youtube. Thank you.

I like the flashing blue lights to highlight the gap on the Metropolitan Line platforms; not seen those before

That brings back a lot of good memorys for me, as in my youth (I am now 69) I was a guard on the metropolitan line, then later I was a station Inspector at Baker street. Other than a few changes, like the rolling stock and ticket machines, it is still the same. thanks for posting it.

I am French, but since I was in London I think to go back there, or even live there. What a beautiful country London, finally seen what happens in France. I am in love with your country England. Did you know?? The London Underground is haunted this is not a joke, it's the truth.

Top quality as always, I had been through countless times on the circle but never on the metropolitan branch

Part of the building above Baker Street station is residential apartments called Chiltern Court, built in the 1920s. Some 30 years ago I photographed the views available from their windows as part of evidence for litigation. Some flats had wonderful views across the surrounding Marylebone area of London, or down on to the junction with Edgeware Road, but others were dingy and dark, and saw nothing from their windows but deep internal light wells with a patch of sky at the top.... Only a small proportion of the flats saw anything of the station platforms below, but you're right, it was intriguing to look down on the comings and goings. Further trivia: While moving my photo equipment from one floor to another, I shared a lift with the TV personality Hughie Green, who had lived in one of the (nicer?) apartments for decades. He was in his 80s at that time, wearing a heavy overcoat, and no, we didn't speak. But in checking out when he died, I discovered this photograph of him... images.app.goo.gl/W9trxnA39BwLqyoC6 ... which just happens to have a window in the background identical in it's style to the hundreds I photographed through!! What was the litigation about? Whether the dingy apartments should have lower prices/rents. What camera did I use? Pre-digital, so Hasselblad with 40mm wide angle lens, on Kodak Vericolor II Professional, type 'S' for prints.

This is the Metrostation of the Metrostations of the whole world! It is so full of History, not only of Metros, but Railways in general! 8:48; haha, great shot, thats exactly something i allways remember about the London Und... All those wires, lol

Another fab film, thank you. Some very nice close up stills and I enjoyed the announcements immensely - could scarcely make out a single word. I think it must have always been like that.

Love this video, can't fault the quality even if I wanted to lol ! Great, thankyou 😊👍

Passed through this historic station on the Circle Line many years ago. Nice video!!😀😀

Great video, really like your style! By the way, in the commentary, you say the station is "in a kind of trench". This is usually referred to as a "cutting", at least in the case of railways (and probably lots of other things too).

Awesome take of the London Underground.

Your videos, in contrast with so many others, make me feel like I´m in London again. Thanks a lot! P.s. I completely agree with your comment between 7:11 and 7:20 haha!

1:07 - she's very pretty. And 3:34

The buildings above the Metropolitan Line platforms 1-4 are part of two buildings, one part is Chiltern Court which has residential apartments, the other is Selbie House which was the former headquarters of the Metropolitan Railway and now houses Baker Street control center which is respnsible for signalling between Baker Street and Aldgate and Baker Street Service Control Center which controls the Bakerloo Line from Queens Park to Elephant and Castle. Thanks for another great vid :)

Congrats 6K subscribers

Great video mate 😊👍

Note: "have been constructed" is better said as "were constructed". "Have been constructed" implies the recent past, while "were constructed" implies the distant past.

Over the tracks at the tunnel mouth at the north end of the 1868 open air platforms can be seen the back windows of Chalfont Court, a residential development of 1913 replacing the original regency villa on the site which was once the London home of the famous actress Mrs. Sarah Siddons. A two bedroom apartment was recently for sale in Chalfont Court with windows directly overlooking the platforms - price £1,250,000.00 - yes, it would be really cool, but a trifle expensive? Loved the video, many thanks.

Ha been there many a time either coming into town or waiting for the Metropolitan train to take me back to Amersham

1:08 Those people realized they were being filmed lol

early...love your videos!

and the bakerloo & jubilee lines?

I might be wrong but I believe for interchanges Baker Street is the busiest tube-only station on the network.

Did those arched openings at the sides of the platforms ever let natural daylight in from above? If not, why were they built? And if they did, why were they blocked off?

Man the subsurface trains are sooo slow

It’s kinda sad to see only s-stock trains.

Why do some of the trains have flashing blue lights?

Brown and grey lines?

Guess they don’t play the song on intercom

Nice video yo but is cool😎😎😎😎

Must the roasted-toilet line there have been too much for you?

I like the S stock trains how they are shaped like a tube like many other trains in London are like

have all C stock been decommissioned?

why you never upload so long

Lol someone all most mist their stop XD

Interesting! One of the first metro stations(1863)

Are the semi fast services operated all the time?

I see. So the London Underground uses the word, "Fast", instead of the word, "Express". Okay.

BakerStreet Circle

보고 있으면 우리네 삶과 별반 다르지

hello

EU's train is very nice design ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Disappointed that Baker Street is not friendly with disabled people!!!!! No lift or ramps!

Disbelief here at the unnecessary surplus of announcements flooding TfL`s CRAPPY p.a. system there, I mistook that robot/man as speaking in joual.

3:33 - she is gorgeous.

I was pleased to see the last time I went up there that the Circle line is maintaining the old tradition in being as atrocious as it ever was.

*saxophone intensifies*

i am...truly first..and Im gonna get bombarded with hate for that...meh

kill spider with underground metro

You do realise half the video wasn't actually filmed in Baker Street
