It's been an absolute hot minute since this happened, but better late than never? 😬 Same idea as the other 7 Deep Level Shelters under London, a twin pair of 427m (ish) long tunnels built underneath existing tube stations from 1940-1942 by the Home Office to provide shelter capacity under...

This is my first report, so please leave any tips in the comments :thumb Me and my friends plan on doing a full exploration of the Camden Rathole is a few weeks, however this was just to find a reliable entrance in and out, and a small investigation to see what’s inside. before our adventure...

THE EXPLORE So we began blowing up an inflatable canoe on the side of Regents Canal footpath much to the confusion and amazement of passers by. When it was finally ready, we hopped in and nearly got crushed by a large tourist boat why proceeded to tell us 'we were on the wrong side', despite...

History: Constructed beneath the streets of Camden, and designed by railway engineer Robert Stephenson, this set of underground vaults under Camden Lock were used to house stationary winding engines to haul locomotives along the railway line above the vaults. The stationary winding engines...

Visited with @james nichols History: Every day, thousands of people walk the streets of Camden completely unaware of the 19th-century network of tunnels and vaults that lay beneath their feet, and with next to no surface features, this particular network has gone, for the most part, unnoticed...

This is my first post on the site, despite having used it for many years to check out buildings, so apologies if its a bit unpolished or if the photos arent the best quality. Having recently moved to London, and found some like-minded friends, I was eager to find some places nearby to explore...

This is another place I've been wanting to cross off the list for a long time. I knew the approximate whereabouts of the place but couldn't for the life of me find where the access point was. Many thanks to @de_kebab for giving me a much needed helping hand! Brief History The Camden Service...

History Tunnels were built under Camden Goods Yard in 1854-56 so that horses working in the goods yard could make their way safely beneath the tracks to and from their stables (this is the eastern horse tunnel). The eastern tunnel is Grade II listed. At 30 Oval Road the developer, Mandrake...

I can already hear the exasperated sighs of "Oh God, not another report on this stinking place" but I could hardly resist. I've been wanting to do a tunnel since I started exploring and this just happened to be the first one I got to. The Site I won't go into to much detail as most know it all...

INTRODUCTION After many failed attempts and endless searching around the area while avoiding drunk people, we managed to locate the Camden Underground Network entrances. As many people has put it, the Camden catacomb is bricked up around the middle of the tunnel connection so we had to make two...

Camden Service Tunnel, otherwise known as the ‘Camden Rathole’ or the ‘Camden Catacombs’, which runs from south of Primrose Hill Tunnel where it connected to the Broad Street line, served as an empty carriage line between Willesden and Euston. It lays hidden beneath mainline tracks that run...

Hi. :] I know it's quite a well documented location already but wanted to share my trip down here. Having worked ontop of the Eastern tunnels for a few years now I thought I had a good grip of what was going on underneath street level but didn't know about access to a disused rail tunnel...

Watch out for Camden Catacombs/Rat Hole on TV tonight and possibly next week too. And if you have no interest in the 'catacombs', there's apparently a scene where Peter Darley, Chairman of Camden Railway Heritage Trust, and Michael Portillo disappear in a boat into a dark subterranean canal...

Another massively delayed report, definitely time to get some old reports posted - better late than never, eh?. Anyway, on with the show. Visited with Weeble. After acquiring a dinghy, we decided to give the eastern horse tunnels (aka Camden Catacombs) a visit. It was a nice day and Camden...

Well, after being completely obsessed with this place for the past two months, the Rat Hole was truly calling me. After an unsuccessful visit a couple of weeks ago, I decided to go back with Deathspell to give this place another look – survey the area a bit more and get our bearings with the...

I finally had the chance to explore some of the underground delights at Camden, and see for my own eyes the incredible tunnel that has been filling my dreams full of secret desires for months! Forum member elliot5200 and myself managed to visit the western sections of the underground horse...

Visited with Catullus. We started off with the western tunnel and rat hole (up empty carriage line). Catullus has since been back there and has found that the hatch down to the rat tunnel from the western horse tunnel has been padlocked. After acquiring a dinghy, we decided to give the eastern...

Visited with error606 Was a brilliant explore, we were unable to use the first method of access as it had been sealed but another method of entry was found relatively quickly. Previous explorers had left dozens of tea candles nicely arranged which would have made some brilliant photos but...

Hello all! I know there's been a lot of reports on this patch of late, I hope you'll forgive me. This was our first proper UE, so that's partially why we chose it - a "known good" site, interesting enough but not too difficult for a pair of noobs. Photos are from regular point-and-shoots -...

My original intention was to go and visit St. Clement’s in Bow, but after scrambling up a wall only to have a hi-vis clad secca see me from directly below, I departed with a cheery ‘bye’ leapt back down and decided to have a go at finding this. As I wasn’t expecting going underground I...
