Fancy dress ideas for London Underground station fancy dress parties

London Underground Party costume ideas.

If you are going to a party with the theme of the London Underground, we've put some ideas together for you.

First of all, don't underestimate the ease with which you could fashion a prop which will make all the difference. A cardboard cut-out of a letter N, E, S or W will give you the point on the compass North, East, South, and West. Shapes like Square, Oval and Circle will also be easy to do. A bridge shape could help you out for several stations like Redbridge, London Bridge and Knightsbridge. Try a five barred gate for any of the Gate stations like Cannonsgate, Lancaster Gate and Aldgate. For parks you could reproduce a Parking Sign

• Angel - this is an easy one. Get your feathery wings and fly
• Arsenal - got any footie kit at home? Or we do have some nice rubber bums.
• Baker Street - you could go as Sherlock Holmes, but what about Gerry Rafferty? (a beard, aviator specs and a sax will do), or you can dress as a chef and take a tray of buns - see above, oh, no, that's bums.
• Bank - Bowler hat, black umbrella and a sack of bonuses
• Barking - Dog costume or mask
• Blackhorse Road - a black horse mask
• Black Friars - a black monk costume
• Canary Wharf - try a yellow chicken costume
• Cockfosters - the chicken costume works for this too
• Covent Garden - cover yourself in flowers or be an opera singer
• Dagenham East - Stacey Solomon, or Derek and Clive
• Euston - what about a spaceman or astronaut Try saying Huston. Use cardboard to make a Square shape to create Euston Square
• Hammersmith - wear a black apron and get an inflatable hammer as an accessory
• Hangar Lane - get some wooden coat hangers and hook them into your clothes
• Hatton Cross - wear a hat and be grumpy with everyone, or get a big cross on a necklace. Perhaps you fancy yourself as a boxer in which case you could be Ricky Hatton wearing a cross.
• Heathrow Terminals - cabin crew costumes
• High Barnet - a really tall wig. Barnet is rhyming slang for hair as in Barnet Fair - Hair
• Holland Park - Dutch national costume, clogs and Dutch Cap at the very least
• Holloway Road - prisoner costume for ladies
• Hyde Park Corner - army fatigues and camouflage paint so you can hide - geddit? Oh please yourselves
• Kew Gardens - cover yourself in greenery or go as a gardener holding a snooker queue
• King's Cross - Richard Lionheart or Crusader costume or any sovereign at all, but be in a bad mood.
• Knightsbridge - Knight costume and take your bridge with you
• Maida Vale - wear a bride's veil and tell everyone you made it
• Mornington Crescent - just don't go to the party at all or don't dress up - this station was for a time non operational
• North Wembley - more footie kit for this
• Oxford Circus - any circus character works for this. Clowns and Ringmasters are most obvious. Put on a mortar board to make it more Oxford
• Paddington - floppy hat, duffle coat, red wellington boots and plenty of marmalade sandwiches
• Tooting Broadway - learn a few show tunes on a trumpet
• Wimbledon - straight forward tennis whites for this one, or a nice womble
• Victoria - a queen Victoria costume might be a bit austere but what about a tasty Sandwich Sponge cake or 'Victoria's Secrets' model?
