LONDON -- Most people know the tunnels of the Tube as a heaving mass of human flesh, all armpits and elbows as Londoners and tourists climb over each other to get to their destination.
There are a few times though - after the last train has departed, during one of those endless strikes - when the London Underground is totally deserted. Times your mind can't help but think back to that dodgy Creep film of a few years ago.
New York-based photographer Aaron Pegg specialises in photos of empty stations and platforms. He's taken his camera across his native city and to Paris, and he recently captured a series of spooky images from London during a trip to the capital.
The only grime I've seen in the underground here so far lol. I found some though A photo posted by @underground_nyc on Aug 13, 2015 at 10:02am PDT
Pegg captured around 500 photographs under the streets of London, across some 30 to 40 stations, according to the Evening Standard, with his highlights earning shedloads of likes and comments.
“It's very humbling to know that so many people appreciate and enjoy what I love doing on a daily basis," he said.
“To inspire people to see their own metro system in a different way or in a new perspective, and in addition even inspire them to get out and explore and photograph their own metro system, is just a great feeling.”
