London's is one of the hardest to enter and traverse illegally. These are tunnels that are barely 10ft in diameter, with little illumination and no clearance, not to mention two live rails packing 700 volts dc and 3000 amps apiece. Theres also little to no access from the aboveground and a gazillion cameras make doing the St James or Lower Bay style off-the-platform-of-the-next-station mercy dash kind of... not possible.
So you've a nice smorgasboard, a three course meal of getfuckoffery on display:
Starters: Get zapped. To a crisp.
Mains: Get arrested for suspected terrorism by the MOD or Mi5.
Dessert: Become track lubricant when you fail to get out of the way of the last train on the Piccadilly Line.
But there are ways of getting down and in. They wont necessarily lead you to the raddest shit in the system, but at least you can say you played chicken with a refurbished 1976 Metro-Cammel, while hopscotching above the two third rails.
Sorry bout pics. Soot covered tunnels with crappy lighting, coupled with a flare inducing lense held me back.
