Want to know more about these tunnels? Go watch Geoff Marshall's video over at Londonist! Inside National Grid's Power Tunnels -- and thanks to the National Grid for letting me film down in the London Power Tunnels: this isn't a sponsored video, although they did go out of their way to show Geoff and me around! http://londonpowertunnels.co.uk - http://nationalgrid.com
