true surface representation of the Victoria Line route

You asked
Hi, I've looked online to find out how the Victoria Line is represented at surface level. I live in SW1V in a basement flat and can really hear the trains beneath the surface. I've done quite a lot of research on this, looked around the area and seen the surface vents and access. Out of curiosity I've enquired with several experts and looked online. The only surface info I've found portray the route as running under the estate on Tachbrook St which would make sense for property prices in my neighbourhood! I cannot see the vibrations/sound could possibly travel as far as this?
I look forward to your response,
