Thanks for posting Jerry. Great stuff. Now I can understand how some of the underground train stations took on their design.

Thanks, this is a portion of London that just adds to it's mystique. These could also have served as bomb shelters, I suspect.

It's amazing how much is underground but ignored. I have an interesting book, London Under London.

Actually, during World War 2, the tube stations did serve as bomb shelters. I do not know about the water cisterns.

Right, and with few exceptions, they were very effective.

Since it must be totally black down there, I'm guessing he uses lightpainting. With the camera on a tripod, light up one section, then another, then another...

What makes these clowns think that because they have a camera they are above the law and needn't respect private property? This is the kind of crap that gives all of us a bad name.
