This is another place I've been wanting to cross off the list for a long time. I knew the approximate whereabouts of the place but couldn't for the life of me find where the access point was. Many thanks to @de_kebab for giving me a much needed helping hand!
Brief History
The Camden Service Tunnel, often called the Camden Rat Hole served as an empty carriage line between Willesden and Euston. It runs from south of Primrose Hill to where it connected to the Broad Street line, hidden beneath mainline tracks that run directly above.

I've been to this site twice in the last couple of months and it is an absolute hoot. The first time I went I was a bit overwhelmed and underprepared and ended going in the wrong direction for the tunnel. I also had a slight slip off a horizontal ladder and ended up pretty muddied. The second time I knew what to expect and was able to find my bearings thankfully. It goes without saying but trying to create decent light for photography down there is a challenge.
Thanks for having a look!
