Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 6 March 2023 asking for information about connections between London Underground and Broadcasting House

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

Generally speaking, we are unable to give out the locations of vents/shafts, and tunnels on the London Underground network for security reasons; this information is therefore exempt from disclosure. However, we can advise that there are no such connections between Broadcasting House and the London Underground network.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Graham Hurt
