The last place we visited while in the London area was The British Transport Museum.

Model showing what it was like building the subway.
Streets were ripped out to put in the underground subway and then they rebuilt the street. This method is called "cut and cover."
Steam engines were used underground for the first forty years. The quality of air was really poor in the tunnels.
