Fancy descending into the hidden depths beneath your beloved Imperial College? Explore the tunnel network during RAG Week to fulfil this desire! Constructed after the Great Exhibition of 1851 for the Imperial Institute’s heating systems, the tunnel network criss-crosses campus, running beneath Exhibition Road to reach Southside and Prince’s Gardens. In days gone by they’ve played host to drinking parties in the foundations of the Queen’s Tower, secret trysts (a love nest complete with a bed, a light and an empty bottle of wine was once discovered) and kidnapped constituent college mascots held captive, awaiting ransom payment. Please wear suitable shoes for going underground. Hard hats and visibility jackets are provided.
