It looks like there are two air holes in the middle of the picture.
Why would such short tunnels have air holes?

You can (just) see them from Google Street View, best from east end,
but doesn't provide any explanation. Not the usual sort of shape for
steam holes I would have thought but of course they must be very
short.

Weren't they for the aborted Bakerloo line extension?

No, they're for the railway that passes directly underneath - zoom
out to get the context.

Oh there! I misread Camberwell Grove as Green and thought it was somewhere
else. I didn't know that tunnel was like that and I've been through it more
than once too.
