74.0 Waterloo (Jubilee)
84.4 Bank (Northern)
Looks like the actual deepest railway platform in London is a toss up
between
jubilee waterloo and Bank DLR which is way beneath the northern line
platforms.
Anyone know how deep the DLR is?
41.4m below street level apparently. Street level is 13m, so around
28-29m below sea level. Thus 2-3m deeper than Jubilee at Waterloo.
And hence about 12m below the northern at Bank (which seems reasonable).
Which, of course, is why I asked about the DLR at Bank upthread:

Gets tangled up in whether it's a "tube" service or not.
Its not a tube, its simply londons 2nd metro system and is bigger than a lot of
cities primary metros. According to wonkymedia it has half the route mileage of
the Tyne and Wear metro which isn't bad for what was originally a cheap as
chips solution for rail PT in docklands.
