There are rumors, true or not, I have no idea, that people live down there. There are abandoned war-time vaults, old tube stations, all sorts underground, as well as the sewers themselves.

And certainly many people "prospect" the sewers. Apart from money, watches and all the smaller valuables you would expect, even motorcycles have turned up. A live grenade once if I remember correctly
