This book is a comprehensive guide to the hidden world of underground London. Informative, authoritative and richly illustrated, this volume takes you on a subterranean tour of the many remarkable constructions that few even new existed.
Some of these installations were once highly secret, such as government bunkers, civilian refuges, protected broadcasting studios and emergency control centres for public utilities. Others perform more mundane functions, including the mothballed Mail Rail (the Post Office Railway), telephone and power cable subways, electricity substations and sewage outfall tunnels.
