A CREEPY abandoned Tube station that was sealed for 60 years is hiding an incredible secret.
Part of Notting Hill Gate Underground was closed off for redevelopment during the 1950s with a chunk of it still closed today.

One of the corridors connecting train lines was rendered useless with the decision being made to keep it shut.
But during routine maintenance a few years ago, decades-old posters were discovered.
While some where adverts for products at the time, others were pieces of art and film billboards.
The colourful walls used to lead commuters to old lifts, that are no longer in use at the station, and has been untouched ever since it was boarded up.
And for those who use Notting Hill Gate now, they would be completely unaware of the route.
The works back in the 50s was to allow passengers to access both the Circle and District (C&D) and Central line through one entrance.
Originally, travellers wanting to hop on the C&D line would have needed to enter the station via another street in the capital.
Whereas improvements and permanent part-closures meant both lines could then be accessed through the Central Line entrance.
The pictures have emerged after local explorers discovered unseen parts of a tunnel in Llandudno, Wales.
Spooky snaps show what it’s like MILES inside the dark underground space.
And Drewton Tunnel, Yorkshire, has been unused for 60 years and is now said to have its own climate.
At 1.2 miles long, Drewton is the longest unused tunnel in the UK.
