Secrets of Underground London: Part 6
In this segment of Secrets of Underground London, learn about London's underground silver vaults, home to the largest collection of retail silver on Earth. Originally used for storage and occupying roughly the same size as a soccer field, the vaults now contain virtually any item made of silver. The clip also explores the subterranean book depository of the British Library containing over 150 million items stored in five huge floors extending over eighty feet underground.
