I knew someone would ask me that, I'll have to get back to you with the name of the no longer used station that we went in at street level. It's right near Holborn I'll post it when I can, but it ts not a name I had ever heard of. Been shut since WWII apparently.

Yeah, other post above are right with the water way thing, most cities were built near the ocean or river systems on account of transportation. London goes down deeper than I ever imagined. I went 250m below street on one visit. Just fascinating what's down there.
