Your pictures are stunning. The entire facility has quite a sci-fi aspect to it. Did you actually run into any hornets? :)

Thanks! Didn't see any scary hornets sadly. The whole structure is totally sci-fi, even inspiring a level in Mirror's Edge.

You might also enjoy some of my other drain exploration shots from stateside:

Which is likely why it's a common backdrop for many a Tokusatsu shows[0]. Every season of Kamen Rider[1] -- and likely Super Sentai[2] as well; I'm not sure since that's too juvenile for my taste -- is all but guaranteed to have at least one episode filmed there.

Either Scifi or Fantasy as it also looks like Peter Jackson's Moria. http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Khazad-d%C3%BBm
