Apparently there’s far less tunnels south of the river as the soil is harder to dig through. I think it’s more ‘crumbly’ so will cave in more often.
I’m not sure I’d class a number of these as actually underground, platforms or sections of platforms are still open they’re just downstairs to get to (Wembley central, Dalston, Shadwell, Wapping – that im familiar with)
What percentage of the London tube stations are above ground? On the New York subway, it’s something like 40%.
Clen
Hammersmith?
Not sure I understand as you’re missing a few stations that are underground – and by this I presume you mean the trains arrive/ depart underground and exits are via escalators etc?

This was made in Microsoft Paint with help from the [tube tunnel map](https://content.tfl.gov.uk/tube-map-with-tunnels.pdf) and Google Maps, if there are any that are wrong let me know and I can update.
