A vintage steam train will be running on the underground network in London next month.
The Metropolitan No.1 steam locomotive will travel through Harrow on a line that was once part of the London Underground Central Line.
Guests can step back in time and enjoy journeys evocative of the early 20th century along with a pop-up vintage tea experience which offers a selection of enticing tea and cakes served from vintage crockery.
Things to do this summer with the kids
Metropolitan No.1 was built at Neasden for use on the Metropolitan Railway in 1898.
It worked the line for decades before being finally withdrawn from service in 1963.
The train will travel between Harrow and Amersham on Saturday September 9 and Sunday September 10.
On the Saturday,The Susie Qs, a 1940s close-harmony trio, will be singing Andrew’s Sisters classics at Amersham station where there will also be costumed characters.
