Default Do you live above a tube tunnel?

When in the basement, you could just about hear the Bakerloo line trains
passing below.

You can also hear them from certain parts of the basement of Shell
Centre (York Road, Waterloo). The building is constructed on a concrete
raft, which is said to come within a few feet of the Bakerloo tunnel.


There's an Indian restaurant at the junction of Harper Road and Newington
Causeway in a basement. We were there last week and you could feel and hear
the Northern Line trains pass by.

The food's very good, however, so don't let that put you off.
