Hidden Tunnels, Disused Tube Stations of London





The network of tunnels below London is an ongoing line of interest.There is this maze of dark passageways,disused tube stations,rooms,bunkers (apparently government ones with names like Icarus that lie deep below Westminster).There are rumours of entrances to these tunnel systems at the base of bodiceas statue which runs to Blackfriars then to the Bank of England and a disguised trap door next to the Half Price ticket store in Leicester Sq which goes down to an electricity sub-station.In the 1980s a journalist for The New Statesmen descended 100 feet from an access shaft on a traffic island in Bethnal Green to a government bunker with his folding bicycle that stretched all the way to Whitehall and then split to go to Waterloo(under the river), Fleet St, Leicester Sq and the Post Office Tower.

The Dogs is a bit of a timewarp, you don't really imagine much has changed there in a good decade or two,the Bookies probably wear the same clothes, the interiors won't have changed and the same kind of people probably still come to bet as they did back then.
