Exploring London Waterloo's Secret Arches

London Waterloo is Britain’s biggest and busiest railway terminal. The huge station is built upon a broad network of arches which form a vast, secretive labyrinth that’s completely closed off to the public.

I was lucky enough to be granted access to this mysterious area in 2019, and in this video I’ll be sharing images of the things I spotted deep beneath Waterloo Station… including an air-raid shelter, bathtubs and even a firing range!

A big thank you to the staff at Waterloo who made this tour possible. My visit was conducted as research for my book: ‘London Waterloo, A History of London’s Busiest Terminus’ (Crowood Press)
