Legends thrive where secrecy and imagination meet.
Lore Check
- Stories link to nearby clubs or government buildings.
- Few verifiable sources; security limits disclosure.
Architecture & Practicality
- Subsurface services and tunnels exist across London; not all are grand.
- Security and geology shape what’s plausible.
Bottom Line
The myth reflects a desire for hidden routes in a visible palace.
