South Kensington Tube station is the gateway to some of London’s famous museums – the Natural History museum, the Victoria and Albert and the Science Museum. To save people getting wet or wrangling the traffic along Exhibition Road, there is a long pedestrian walkway from the station to the museums.
It has a fabulous acoustic, one that’s enjoyed by small children, buskers and field recordists alike! I went to university at Imperial College and used this tunnel often. Even now, the soundmark takes me back to student times…
Here’s the sound of a busker using the acoustic well, and some kids enjoying the tunnel later on
Very nice. You get a very rich sense of space. Well done.
Thanks! The tunnel has 500 yards of Victorian tiles – it’s as if it were designed forawesome reverb!
