A rhyming picture book about a little boy and his Granny who accidentally step off the Tube at a long-forgotten station between Hampstead and Golders Green — and have to find their way home with the help of some unlikely friends. Illustrated in watercolour by Jesse Brown.Hidden beneath Hampstead Heath sits a Tube station that was never finished, never opened, and never used. North End Station was planned, partly built, and... abandoned.Northern line trains pass through it to this day without stopping.
