Haunting photographs have revealed the long-forgotten abandoned London Underground stations that lie deep below the city.

Captured by urban explorer Bowroaduk, the pictures show disused platforms and derelict stations snaking for miles underground.

The eerie images show the dusty Aldwych Underground station, which closed in 1994 and has since been used as a film set for several high-profile productions including Sherlock, Mr Selfridge and V for Vendetta.

Other shots show the bricked up entrances to the former underground at Euston which closed in 1914 and the graffiti-clad Shoreditch station which closed in 2006.
