London
Two thousand years of city, most of it now underneath the current one. A disused station below a working one. A river beach that appears twice a day. Cemeteries laid out as Victorian theme parks for grief. Comprehensively signposted, and it will still lose you.

Field conditions
Before you go
Below ground means stairs, often a great many, with no lift. Operators state this for a reason.
Foreshore access is tide-dependent. A tour that says it may be rescheduled means it.
Rain is not a cancellation condition for most outdoor departures here.
