UNDERGROUND LONDON (Pbk)

London is a city with a myriad of underground passages under its streets and buildings and the author goes on an exploration of these historical passageways. Beginning with the buried rivers beneath the capital and ending in the tunnels beneath the Thames Barrier, this is a remarkable journey into a subterranean world. As well as visiting the culverts beneath Hampton Court, the Victorian sewers, wartime bunkers and secret vaults, the author also discovers the now unused Mail Rail miniature railway that at one time transported twelve million letters a day, and also spends the small hours of the mornings walking the Underground network. Previously published in hardback, this is the paperback version.
