Work at the station has recently uncovered these amazing advertising posters in non-public areas and that date from c1956 - 1959 when the station's lifts were removed and replaced by escalators. These are in an old lift passageway.
This poster for the British comedy film "Too Many Cooks", starring Terry-Thomas, George Cole, Brenda de Banzie and Bernard Bresslaw. It was on show just down the Central line at the Odeon at Marble Arch.
We will be leaving these intact - and please do not pester the station staff as the posters are wholly inaccessible - which is why they've probably survived 50 odd years!
The photos were taken officially - please do credit London Underground in any links.
