Baker Street
Baker Street, on the World's First Underground, the Metropolitan Railway, looking east on its 160th birthday on 10th January 2023. It was restored in 1983 to resemble as closely as possible how it looked in mid-Victorian times. The vents above the walls on both platforms were once open to the sky, letting in natural daylight, but were filled-in before the refurbishment with lights installed later to help resemble daylight and the Victorian effect. Note also the widened platforms over the site of the lifted GWR broad gauge rails.
