How deep is North End station?
In a leafy suburban corner of north London, 39 metres below ground, remains the abandoned tunnels of an Underground station that has lain incomplete for over a century.
Why is the London tube so deep?
It is easier and safer to dig at depth in London because of the nature of the soil and to avoid other infrastructure and the Thames. It also may result from the fact that London is quite hilly and trains don't like going up hills, so the tube goes through the hill.
