tunnels

History: After the completion of the famous Battersea Power Station in 1933, 4 sets of tunnels were bored under the Thames. The first is known as "Battersea Steam Tunnel", which with the clue being in the title, was built to act as a surplus heat discharge outlet, as even when all 4 of...

Like many others, I hit this awesome location some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed subsequent visits. However, during the pandemic it seems that this old favourite had fallen foul to the festering graffiti turds! Once again people defacing a piece of history, where potentially members of their...

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...

Really excellent place, incredibly well tucked away and as a result I didn't see a single piece of modern rubbish inside, not even a monster munch packet or a stella can. Nice to see somewhere a bit older than the usual Victorian Palmerston Forts after having seen plenty of those. Explored with...

Me and my husband are new to urban exploring in Plymouth Devon. We have found a few fort tunnels in the woods but would really like to find entrances to more tunnels/air raid shelters in Plymouth or just anywhere abandoned to explore for photos/videos! Please drop me a message if anyone knows of...

History Grain Fort was built during the 1860s on the Isle of Grain to protect the mouth of the river Medway. It was constructed with a crescent shaped keep, which formed the case-mated barracks and entrance to the fort. A raised earth bank behind this formed around this was mounted with Rifled...

So i went for a wander with a few friends the other day, took quite a while to locate due to all the building work surrounding it and being able to get to it unseen. We managed to get down to the huge pile at the second ventilation shaft, we decided to turn back there due to not really having...

So on the 12th of June 2020 me and a few friends were exploring a couple of well know locations in the Liverpool area and just happend to come across this by chance. We were walking along and noticed a hole in the ground naturally as we were exploring this peaked our interest and we decided to...

I think I might have accidentally deleted my first new members thread but anyway. Hi I'm Aden I'm 18 years old and living in glasgow, I only got into urban exploring two weeks or so ago so I haven't been to many places but I have enjoyed the places that I have been to such as: botanic gardens...

Hi my name's Aden I'm 18 living in Glasgow I only started urban exploring in the last two weeks or so and haven't been to many places but I have enjoyed the ones I have been to such as: the botanic gardens train station, Saint Peter's seminary and Dunmorepark house. I am mainly interested in...

New to forums and exploring pages but I’m Sam from Medway area in Kent . Started exploring at a young age did the typical Matthews riding school which I continue to visit still now to this day! Visited Leybourne grange back in I think 2016 when the Manor House was still there only wish it was...

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...

Once again, my pal and I heard that the word round the campfire was that this location was accessible. Having only been here once before and my wingman never having experienced it, I set the wheels in motion. So, I called my pal, who was laying on his living room floor pissed as a fart. "You...

I first visited this location a few years ago by pure chance when first learning about and exploring the area. I had gone in solo with only my mobile phone, then it was sealed shortly after. This was the first time I had ever experienced such a location and had always wished to return with my...

Hey guys Just an update I’ve found out about Epsom tunnels being that my dad is an air soft player. We’re all aware that it’s been sealed and this is because they’re going be bringing it back for the use of air soft. I’m not 100% sure on when, but it will be happening!

After causing a colossal upset in the incredibly friendly urbex community, I've finally decided to release the photos from our infamous jape... On a particularly warm Octobers afternoon, myself and one of my close mates decided to "enter" Dover's gem, and what we came across is something we'll...

Grain Fort (not to be confused with Grain Tower) was a napoleonic era fort protecting the river Medway as it joins the Thames estuary. It was built between 1861 and 1868 and was demolished in the 1960s after service in WW1 and WW2. The area is now a public park, with walks over the gun...

After trying to get into this place a few times I got a tip off that it was accessible again (i won’t post details). It won’t be open long as they’re already laying foundations to cover it up as shown in the photos. So if you’re planning on taking a look at get down their soon! Good luck

“Situated just half a mile away from Coalhouse Fort, East Tilbury Battery, was constructed from 1887-93 and supplemented Coalhouse Fort as part of the Thames’ coastal defence system. It housed six long range firing weapons, mounted on disappearing carriages. There were two six-pdr guns on the...
