What is it with Brits and digging tunnelsystems underneath their houses? William Lyttle ("The Mole Man of Hackney"), "I'm just a man who loves to dig".

My grandfather had a kind of similar situation in Genk, Belgium where he bought a house and discovered a whole basement system that spanned a good part of the neighborhood.

There is a lady on TikTok based somewhere in America who is currently digging under her house [1] (old article)

She is a unique person. She knows tons about engineering, concreting etc but then just did a pivot into streaming e-girl.

In my teens I had enjoyed a book series "Tunnels" by Roderick Gordon & Brian Williams. The story cranks the mole fantasy up to 12 & surprise, surprise... it is set in some london downtown.

Maybe above ground space is too limited.
