Also see the second in this series of Urbex thread by myself: ------- [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=922233[/url] (Chesham telecommunications mast) ------- Yesterday I went to three different locations in London with a couple of friends to do some Urban Exploration. I've never really done this in London before, and getting into the Market was kinda difficult. [U][B]There are over 100 photographs here[/B][/U], completely unedited. There are just too many for me to be bothered to edit. These first ones are from Woolwich Tunnel which is an abandoned railway tunnel in east London. It has been abandoned since 2007. We had to crawl under a fence to get here, it made my jeans all dirty.

It took about 10-15 minutes to walk down the tunnel. Some parts were flooded because of burst water pipes, so we had to watch our step.

We found a train ticket on the ground in the basesment dating from 2002, so I am guessing it's been abandoned since about that time. All pictures are in chronological order and start in the basement.

Woolwich, interesting, around my neck of the woods. (Greenwich)
You know you could get Cancer if you're not wearing a dust mask down there?

i'm curious as to why in the name of god you decided to save these all as PNG files
Because JPEG is horrible
no it's not, it's perfect for photos
OK well it's done now and I'm not reuploading 150 images. I've always used PNG for everything.
JPEG has artifacts and can look messy. PNG doesn't mess with anything.
holy shit you just raped my browser good job and my internet
could you use img_thumb please?
[QUOTE=radioactive;21246536]JPEG has artifacts and can look messy. PNG doesn't mess with anything.[/QUOTE] JPEG and PNG have no noticable differences at max quality on photos. anyways I can't check out any of the photos because it'll end up capping my internet faster
[QUOTE=radioactive;21246536]JPEG has artifacts and can look messy. PNG doesn't mess with anything.[/QUOTE] it's p. rare for you to actually be able to see artifacts in a photograph because it's just not the kind of image that they'll appear in. there's a reason that photographers and cameras use jpg, and it's because the image they produce is 190kb rather than 1.9mb like some of these. it's just irritating because iw ould have quite liked to have seen some of these but i really can't be bothered waiting 10 minutes for them all to load on this awful internet connection
If you can't load the images, fine. I am not going to put them in thumbnails. If you want to look at it, open it in a new tab and leave it for a while. OK, I'll change them to JPG. Give me a while.
[QUOTE=radioactive;21246396]You know you could get Cancer if you're not wearing a dust mask down there?[/QUOTE] that depends.
God, OP has some balls. I'd be scared shitless to walk in here, day or night.
This thread raped my internet, but it was worth it :downs:
Okay I'm actually going out to do more URBEX now, so I will change the images to Jpeg a bit later.
Be sure to keep us updated with pics, Nice thread btw, Realy starting to like these sorta threads
mad shit dude fyi with that many ~1mb images, say bye bye to your imageshack bandwidth if this page gets enough views without breaking people's browsers (or 56k)
The first few pictures look almost identical to the area in which they shot the chase scene for RocknRolla. Also, where is that mall located?
If I ever do this, I'll go to London and meet the OP. Seems fun.
Very cool pictures!
Fantastic pictures! I've always wanted to do a bit of Urban Exploration, but there's nothing really to explore in this town, as any free space is snapped up relatively quickly.
Haha thats great bengley
