The Crescent Wood Tunnel is 429yds long. The line was the Nunhead to Crystal Palace (High Level), which closed in 1954. See http://www.subbrit.org.uk/tunnelbase/sites/p/paxton/index.shtml at Subterranea Britannica. The inner gates bear the name of the London Wildlife Trust who have created a bat roost within the tunnel - http://www.wildlondon.org.uk/Portals/0/News/tabid/71/mid/414/newsid414/128/Default.aspx .
