Camden Catacombs, Underground passage network in Camden Town, London, UK
The Camden Catacombs form an intricate network of underground tunnels and vaults beneath the Camden Market area and surrounding neighborhoods.
Built during the 19th century, these underground spaces served as stables for horses and ponies that operated railway wagons in the industrial district.
The tunnels represent a fundamental part of London's transportation heritage, connecting various Victorian warehouses and featuring an underground canal basin.
Network Rail currently maintains ownership of the catacombs, and public access remains restricted due to safety considerations and flooding risks.
Cast-iron grilles embedded in the road surface mark the tunnel network's path, originally providing the only source of light for the horses below.
