Today we are having a London Underground Stations Costume party…
Now if you ever get asked to this type of fancy dress party, do not despair as Props n Frocks have a page full of great London Underground Costume ideas and how to do them. Why not share it on Facebook & Twitter so you can give it to everyone else going to the party so they can get some great ideas too?
Today we are going Underground as we celebrate a small piece of transport history. The world’s first underground tube railway opened in London in 1870, close to where Tower Bridge now stands. It was not the first underground railway, but the Tower Tunnel under the Thames that the railway used was built using cast-iron circular tube sections. Unfortunately the carriage that transported people through the tunnel proved slow and the tunnel was later converted to pedestrian use (for a fee). It proved a popular crossing-point until Tower Bridge (which was free to use) opened in 1894 when it fell into disuse. This ‘tube’ still exists but now carries water-pipes and telecoms and has no part in the London Underground Tube network of nowadays.
Needless to say, today’s the day to dust off our ever so helpful guide to costuming for an Underground Stations event!
