London 'ghost' tunnels to be sold off

26 September 2014


GREAT BRITAIN - “Ghost” London Underground stations are set to become a network of tourist attractions, hotels, shops and museums, it was revealed last week.

Transport for London (TfL) is preparing to invite companies to bid to transform London's abandoned underground stations and horse tunnels beneath the capital's streets.

TfL is believed to be in talks to decide whether it invites consultancies and construction firms to bid for just one site to kick-start the project, or a collection of the spaces hidden below London.

The public body owns 750 of the tunnels and is looking to transform the portfolio of assets.
