THE UNDERGROUND
The London Underground is the largest and oldest underground train network in the world. Unfortunately it is also now probably the most outdated underground system in the world in terms of most thing. Over 3 million people a day use the Underground.


Some of the tunnels are very deep. So much so that I tend not to think about it when I am down there. With the Undergrounds history of terrorism, the 1987 Kings Cross Fire and a documentary I recently saw on ghosts on the underground (click here to see it on google video) I try not to think too deeply about how deep in the ground I am!


It's when I descend into the tunnels that freaks me out sometimes. These photos taken in Leicester Square Station (Piccadilly Line) and Pimlico Station (Victoria Line) don't really depict how deep the escalators can run.
