I toured a long-forgotten labyrinth under London’s streets

  1. TLDR, from the article:

    I spent more than an hour exploring disused underground tunnels at west London’s Shepherd’s Bush station. Some of the hidden tunnels have been [opened to the public](https://www.insider.com/photos-maze-hidden-tunnels-historic-london-tube-station-2023-3?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=insider-unitedkingdom-sub-comment) for the first time in 100 years.

    I learned about the history of the hidden infrastructure, including its [uses during World War II](https://www.insider.com/photos-maze-hidden-tunnels-historic-london-tube-station-2023-3?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=insider-unitedkingdom-sub-comment) and how riding the underground turned from a “novel experience” 100 years ago into an everyday chore.

    Visitors can now tour its maze of tunnels with the [London Transport Museum’s “Hidden London” tours](https://www.insider.com/photos-maze-hidden-tunnels-historic-london-tube-station-2023-3?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=insider-unitedkingdom-sub-comment).
