London Underground Central Line Valhalla - Leytonstone to Gants Hill

[@drg111yt]

Thank you John, and what a beautiful halle.

Gants Hill Station was my local station when I lived in Essex. Often wondered what was behind the three doors at the end of the hallway, under the Roman numeral clock.

I live near Gants Hill I walk always in Gants Hill and sometimes the train station at Gants Hill is confusing to walk around

[@JagBetty]

The domed station platform instantly reminded me of the PlayStation game 'Hitman', where a level is set in a Moscow station.....🤔

[@JohnRogersWalks]

great reference - Piccadilly Circus ticket hall was the original inspiration for the Moscow Metro and Holden returned the favour here at Gants Hill

[@CthulhuInc]

now, that is a station - but is it too um, sterile?

[@dee74raz]

I don't recognise that place at 1:10 of the video, where is that ?

[@JohnRogersWalks]

+Dee Raz It's right on the roundabout just near the Valentine Pub

[@dee74raz]

+John Rogers Oh yes, the pub is hidden behind the station, it's near an Indian restaurant called Kanchans. There used to be a cinema near Gants Hill roundabout, but it got knocked down and turned into apartments.

[@JohnRogersWalks]

+Dee Raz Ah thanks, I didn't know about the cinema, I'll look for some old photos of it

John, this should help www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/news/heritage/the_untold_history_of_the_gants_hill_odeon_1_4692100. Used to go there as a child. It used to be called the Savoy, I believe before becoming an Odeon
