I am sure that there was a TV programme about it years ago, very interesting. London is riddled with tunnels, it's a wonder it doesn't cave in ;D

I'd pay good money to (legally) explore subterranean London - I find it fascinating..

I can waste hours on websites like this: http://www.subbrit.org.uk/

I saw that this morning . Never knew about it.

One wonders why they need 4.5 million£ to be able to open it to the public by 2019? I would do it for £300 for end March2013.
