Kingsway tramway subway, Tramway tunnel from Holborn to Strand in central London, England
The Kingsway tramway subway extends for half a mile beneath Kingsway street, featuring brick archways and steel-girdered roof construction throughout its length.
Built in 1906 by the London County Council, this underground passage connected North and South London tram networks until its closure in 1952.
The tunnel represents early 20th-century transport engineering and received Grade II listed status in 1989 for its architectural significance to London's infrastructure.
The London Transport Museum organizes guided tours of the subway, allowing visitors to explore this preserved section of London's transport network.
Special non-flammable trams were manufactured specifically for this tunnel as wooden vehicles were prohibited from operating in the underground passage.
