Default Aldwych / Strand Underground

A secret disused underground station that was used by thousands of
Londoners during the Blitz has been opened up for rare public viewing.

Visitors have been able to take a tour of the Aldwych Tube Station,
one of London's closed underground stations, which included a platform
which stopped operating in 1914.

In the second picture the Station Closed signs partly obscure the letters "A
N"

What word were these letters a part of, I wonder?

Strand - the original name of the station. It was changed to Aldwych in
1915.

Marylebone (Bakerloo Line) still has tiles proclaiming its original name -
Great Central.
