Stepney Green cavern

Stepney Green cavern is an underground junction which contains the junction where Crossrail spits into two branches, one to Shenfield and one to Abbey Wood. The tunnel was completed by the TBM Ellie in 2014.[2] It is located below Stepney Green Park.

It is one of the largest mined caverns in Europe, and reinforced with a concrete lining.[3]
