Tunneling today is done with an automated mole having a circular cross section,

Where does London have multi-track tunnels?
There are numerous between Kings Cross and Potters Bar. I doubt they are

No, definitely not, but they weren't drilled using TBMs, either. Given
when they were built, I assume they were cut by hand.
