I'm not planning on any urban exploration, don't worry
So there's an urban myth that during the 1940's, the planned Bakerloo line extension to Camberwell was actually partially built and then bricked off. In my story, this really did happen, and the climactic event takes place in those abandoned, unused tunnels.
I'm trying to think of an interesting way my characters could gain access, though. Presently, I'm running with the idea of the 'monsters' having tunnelled through the foundations of the old Heygate Estate (currently being demolished!) down into the emergency stairwell, but it's a tad...well, I know fiction is supposed to stretch belief but I can't help but feel it's a little too much.
I need a better way of them getting down there. Access from Elephant and Castle isn't going to be doable due to the old tunnels being bricked off. Do I 'invent' a forgotten emergency access doorway or something?
There's a structure at Elephant and Castle roundabout which houses an electricity substation for the Underground...I can't find any pictures or information about what the inside looks like, but is it plausible that I could plop a doorway there? (There's also a small substation left standing on the Heygate itself)
tl;dr: help me get my characters into a non-existent abandoned tunnel please!
