The ex.Planetarium site at Madame Tassauds was originally the site of a cinema, Tassauds cinema. It was destroyed by a bomb in 1940.
I often used to be amused looking at the various attempts LT staff have used to stop the water running down the walls at Great Portland Street station.

My recollection of GPS at platform- level (from my earliest memories of it in the 80s) is that it has long been a mix of "Baker St" exposed brickwork and panelling. I don't ever recall it being all-brick.
There may well have been a 2000s refurb but I don't believe that any areas of brick previously exposed where covered up.
[Apols if this is faulty memory in action...]

just remembered, I can say I have stayed at a house in Devonshire Place, back in the 1970,s I knew some people there and stayed overnight once!, I remember I had to get out early in the morning to move my car. There were lots of Private Doctors practices around there even back then.
About 4 years ago I used to visit the cafe in the crypt of St Marylebone Church, it was called "More Tea Vicar", they did home made lunches at a reasonable price. Not sure if it is still there now.

I have fond memories of the Planentarium at Baker Street and now it has gone. Time marches, I suppose.
And the Cafe in the Crypt is still there - I had radiotherapy at the London CLinic in March, and had lunch there a few times. Still (relatively) cheap, and very tast. During that brief spring we had in March, they had tables outside. Great idea, if not for all that traffic...
