However, with the expensive US $ 2. 00 ticket price and a war rally uptown, the hoped-for audience was kept away and the new hall would have to wait.

The fire started in an escalator shaft serving the Piccadilly Line, which was burnt out along with the top level ( entrances and ticket hall ) of the deep-level tube station.

Many people in the ticket hall believed that the fire was small and thus not an immediate hazard: indeed, an evacuation route from the tunnels below was arranged through a parallel escalator tunnel to the ticket hall above the burning escalator.

The fire started beneath the escalator, spread above it, then flashed over and filled the ticket hall with flames and dense smoke.

The fatalities were among those unable to escape from the ticket hall before succumbing to the effects of the latter stages of thick smoke and the intense heat.

In the early stages of the modelled fire the flames lay down along the floor of the escalator rather than burning vertically and produced a jet of flame into the ticket hall.

When the treads of the escalator flashed over, the size of the fire increased exponentially and a sustained jet of flame was discharged from the escalator tunnel into the model ticket hall.

The ticket hall and platforms for the subsurface lines were undamaged and reopened the morning after the fire ; the Victoria Line, its escalators only slightly damaged, resumed normal operation on the following Tuesday.

The ticket hall for the three deep tube lines was reopened in stages over a period of four weeks.

The station was rebuilt in the late 1950s and reopened on 1 March 1959 linking the two ' Notting Hill Gate stations ' on the Circle and District and Central lines, which had previously been accessed on either side of the street, with a shared sub-surface ticket hall with escalators down to the Central lines.

The station was redecorated in 2010-11, with new ceramic tiling throughout the subway entrances, deep-level passageways and Central line tube platforms as well as a modified ticket hall layout.

The station contains a range of catering units and shops, a large ticket hall and, despite a central London location, an enclosed car park with over 200 spaces.

A new ticket hall was created in the arches under the main-line station, providing improved interchange.

There are two platforms on each line and two main sets of escalators to and from the Tooley Street ticket hall.

The lifts were removed and a spacious new ticket hall was provided giving access to a bank of four escalators down to an intermediate concourse at the level of the new Central Line platforms.

New station entrances were constructed to a new sub-surface ticket hall.

As with the similar sub-surface ticket hall previously built at Piccadilly Circus this was excavated partially under the roadway.
