I was at LU Charring Cross today, I noticed a set of unused esclators
at the bottom of the main set of esclators, where do they go etc?

I am guessing here, but probably down
to the now disused Jubilee Line platforms.

Yes, but I believe those disused escalators are now behind a wall so cannot
be "noticed"...

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

I have been there at least once and seen the doors in the 'wall' open so you
could see the escalators behind.
I guess staff still go down there sometimes if there are equipment rooms
that need to be accessed, or if there is filming on the platforms etc.

I think it's more a partition than a wall, so maybe it was open. I
think the platforms been used for pop videos, TV programmes and things
(I think I heard that here).

According to Hywel Williams, the wall is referred to as the Wall of
Charing Cross.

There is a similar wall, albeit without windows, at the end of the
tunnel from the main Bakerloo escalator flight; the tunnel behind the
wall used to lead to the pair of escalators that descended to the
other side of the Jubilee platforms.
