Probably very easy for the forum's location detectives.

Isn’t Hugh Jass a denizen of Moe’s Bar?

After 11 hours and nearly 60 views.... Hugh Jass's theatre break needs a slightly easier clue (and I thought the forum's night owls would have solved it very quickly)............

Charring Cross

Yes, I booked onto one of London Transport Museum's Hidden London Tours - 'Charing Cross, Access all areas'. This was the Fleet Line (subsequently renamed The Jubilee Line) temporary (20year temporary!) terminus. Now closed more years than it was open.

Along with several other Hidden London tours, I would recommend it. It doesn't seem 45 years ago that I travelled on one of the first trains!

The posters are deliberately 'fake' so as not to break any copyright laws when filming takes place (yes, amongst others, Charing Cross deep level tube was renamed 'Temple' on the District Line (!) for the James Bond film 'Skyfall'). Filming takes place on Platform 4, whilst Platform 3 has been essentially stripped bare and is used by TfL» (Transport for London - about) for experimenting for various tube projects.
