This hidden street has a name: it’s called Little Compton street.
Without knowing of its existence, it is easy to walk past and miss the street. It is a very busy area in central London many people and cars pass by it every day, most of them have no idea what is hiding there.
Exactly a week ago today, when London was still closed and empty of tourists, I decided to take advantage of the momentary quiet in the streets and go find Little Compton street myself. To find this street that lays below ground level, you need to find the traffic island in the intersection between Charing Cross road and Old Compton street. This is where I found the grille that hides the secret well and let this old street see the day of light.
Wow – I had no idea about this! Even living here for nearly three decades isn’t enough to find all these secrets
Awesome tip!
I will visit there for sure next time 😎
Be sure to take some photos, if you manage to! 🙂
וואו!
מגניב ממש! באמת לא הכרתי את הרחוב הזה 🙂
