The London Tube

The tea did not truly warm them. It only postponed the cold. Harvey drew a deep breath and felt the heavy dampness settle in his lungs. For a moment, sitting beside the weak fire among the others, he felt closer to them than to the rest of the world. Yet he knew how fragile everything was. The fire.The tea.The laughter. In the Tube, the law was written nowhere. It was simply survived, one…

Somewhere in a tunnel buried between Canary Wharf and oblivion, Adrian opened his eyes. The silence was unlike the ordinary silence of the Tube. There was no steady dripping of water, no scurrying of rats, only a dense, oppressive stillness that seemed to crush whatever remained alive. Two figures stood above him. The rail vehicle moved slowly through the darkness, its headlamp making the…

I no longer know how long I have been walking. The air grows heavier with every step, and the beam of my torch is beginning to weaken. At first, I believed the sounds around me were nothing more than echoes. Water dripping through old pipes. Metal contracting in the cold. My own footsteps returning from the darkness. I was wrong. There is something here. At first I tried to explain what I…

Deep beneath London, some discoveries are more dangerous than weapons. Harvey never expected to find a small green figurine hidden among abandoned files, rusted cabinets and forgotten memories. In a world where every object has value and every secret carries a price, even the smallest clue can change everything. What was it doing there?Who brought it into the tunnels?And why does it matter…

He had forgotten what silence sounded like above ground. Snow drifted across the empty streets, covering abandoned cars, broken windows and the memories of a city that no longer belonged to the living. Harvey adjusted the straps of his gas mask and looked towards the skyline. Somewhere beyond the frozen ruins stood the world he had once known. A world of crowded trains, hurried footsteps and…

“You haven’t been around for a while,” Jack muttered, his low, rusted voice cutting through the silence like something heavy dragged across concrete. “I was beginning to think you’d built yourself a cabin on the surface and forgotten the rest of us down here, among the rust, the mould, and whatever still moves in the dark.” Harvey allowed himself a tired smile. “Really? And where exactly do you…

Twenty five years after the fall, London still stands. The glass towers remain, the streets still trace the same paths, and the skyline is as familiar as ever. Yet there is no traffic, no voices, no light behind the windows. Only silence. In The London Tube, the greatest danger is not what waits beneath the city, but what remains above it.

Years ago, I discovered Metro 2033 and was fascinated by the idea of people surviving beneath a ruined city. One question stayed with me: what would happen if the same thing happened in London? That question eventually became The London Tube. What started as a simple idea grew into a 134,000 word novel, set twenty five years after humanity was driven underground, where stations became…

London, 2038.

Twenty-five years after a catastrophic event forced humanity underground, the London Underground has become the last refuge of a broken civilization. What were once train stations are now isolated settlements, connected by miles of dark tunnels where danger waits beyond every turn.

Harvey, a scout from North Greenwich, leaves the safety of his home station after discovering clues that suggest his missing family may still be alive. His search takes him across a vast underground world shaped by fear, survival, and long-buried secrets.

As rival factions fight for power and the truth behind the catastrophe begins to emerge, Harvey finds himself at the center of a conflict that could determine the future of everyone living beneath London.

The darkness below the city hides many things. Some are monsters. Others are human.

What’s something you’d love to see in the future, but know you probably won’t live to witness?
