THE PICCADILLY CIRCUS SUBWAY - MY LAST GREAT ADVENTURE 2022


This system constist of a cross configuration of London County Council pipe subways under Shaftesbury Avenue, Piccadilly Circus, and Charing Cross Road. Intersecting under Cambridge Circus.

We started our journey at the northern end of Shaftesbury Avenue, and worked our way south to Piccadilly Circus, went round that and back to Cambridge Circus where we had a celebratory picnic lunch with champagne before exiting the way we entered.
