So far we had been taking it fairly easy, exploring only the sub and mid level underground stations. The time had now come to step it up a gear. Deep level stations are notoriously hard to access, usually with only one way in and out, many from active TFL buildings above. The risks were great, but so were the rewards. Untouched, untagged and unexplored platforms and tunnels. If anything was to go wrong it would be now, an orange clad guided tour this was not!

Opened in 1907 South Kentish Town had a very short life span of only 17 years, closing in 1924 due to lack of use. The station sat on the Northern Line between Kentish and Camden Town, the original station building still remains intact.

South Kentish Town was easily the most nerve wracking explore i have experienced to date. I never felt safe or content, constantly staying on guard, holding my breath at every insignificant noise. If there ever was an example of a place we shouldn’t have been, this was it. Every time i clicked the shutter i expected the noise to summon forth the white helmet, orange cloaked minions of TFL.

As quickly as we arrived, we left, our memory cards carrying the only evidence we were there. That was insane, but it didn’t get easier from here, in fact it got allot worse!
