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...

Another spot finally visited after wanting to for some time. Western part of Camden's horse tunnels is cut off from the larger remaining Eastern side. More interesting are the structures connected to these tunnels. Below is the an abandoned stretch of underground track populary known as the...

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...
