No. There is a law against tunnelling within a significant area
around St Pauls. AFAIK there is no such law concerning any other
building, even Big Ben.
So how did the CLR manage to get their tunnels in then?

Because they were building under the authority of their own Act of
Parliament, and the authorities at St.Pauls would have had an
opportunity to object at the time. The shelter tunnels didn't have an
Act; they were wartime emergency work.

So the authority of St. Paul's outweighs any authority that the
government has, even in times of national emergency?

No; the authority of parliment outweighs a mere offical (eg: a minister).

I'm not sure that's true anymore, but it was in WWII.
