Secrets of the London Underground will return for a second TV series

Your guide to London's culture and transport news and events taking place across the city.

A second series of the Secrets of the London Underground show has been commissioned by UKTV to be shown on the Yesterday channel next year.

The series will reunite Siddy Holloway from London Transport Museum with rail historian Tim Dunn (The Architecture The Railways Built), to explore hitherto unseen areas of London’s Underground network.

London Transport Museum’s director Sam Mullins OBE said, “The first series of Secrets of the London Underground proved a huge hit for the Museum and we can’t wait to see Siddy and Tim back for a second series. They’ll be taking viewers behind the scenes to discover even more hidden sites and little-known stories from the rich history of the Tube and how it’s shaped the Capital.”

The first series of Secrets of the London Underground launched to a record-breaking 659,000 viewers, with the opening episode becoming Yesterday’s biggest ever launch of a new series, the channel’s highest-rated programme ever and the 2nd highest rating non-terrestrial programme of the day.

The second series will air on Yesterday in 2022 and will also be available to catch up on UKTV Play.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

Best thing on terrestrial TV this year! Always nice to be treated like an adult as a viewer and so lacking on the usually padding.

Also, I’m been reading books about this stuff since I was a kid and I learnt lots of new things here!

  Probably about as much as Geoff paid for every other “secrets of the xxxx” tv show that went befure his YouTube videos

It was OK
There were numerous historical errors in the first series. Hopefully they will do a bit more fact checking this time.

They should Ask Geoff Marshall, Tony Wright or even Ask Subbrit

Loved these. They’re fun and really engaging. A second series will be very welcome.

I did really enjoy this series but not as much as ‘The Architecture the Railways Built’ which has created so much wanderlust in me and given me ideas of where to travel in the UK and on mainland Europe. So I fear that with this news, we won’t see a new season of ‘The Architecture the Railways Built’. Sob!
