Hi


Does anyone know where I can find a comprehensive list of London
Underground ventilation shafts, used and disused? I went to a lecture
recently and they said there were 190 of them in total.


If you know how many there are, finding most or all of them shouldn't be
that hard. I've found a few, and I wasn't particularly looking for them. I
think the only one which you would never find unless you knew it was there
would be the one inside the Greathead statue on a traffic island in the
middle of Cornhill.


Thanks John

So much has been written about London Underground infrastructure, Im
surprised no ones written a book or website that covers the subject.
Looks like Ill have to research it myself. The Greathead statue one is
interesting. Others Ive heard of -

Pavillion in Park Crescent
One in a building in Cloudsley Sq Islington
Opposite Warren St station
Half way down City Road

Ill keep looking

Thanks for your help
