Embankment Loop

The Embankment Loop was another loop of track, other than the Kennington Loop, and was open from 1914 to 1926, in a period of just 12 years.

In 1926, the Northern line was extended south to Morden, and the loop was sealed up, and is nowadays situated under the River Thames at Embankment Pier. During the Second World War, a bomb went into the Thames, exploding underwater at the roof of the abandoned tunnel. It became partially flooded, and repairs were soon made.
