Did you take the wooden escalator?  It is worth the visit.

Incidentally, all wooden escalators were removed from the London
Underground following the 1987 King's Cross fire.  Smoking was still
allowed on the underground then and someone dropped a lit match.

The TV series Secrets of the London Underground reported on the sole
remaining wooden escalator on the underground recently.  It isn't
accessible to the public.
