Not surprisingly there were sited equip-distant around London about 30-40 miles from the city. For your information the Victoria line, nor any other underground line passes under Buckingham palace or Downing Street, though there is a private underground walkway from Downing street to the houses of Parliament, which is next to Westminster underground station. :hf::hf::hf: [/quote]
