Urban spelunking involves exploring man-made underground structures like sewer systems and storm drains found beneath large cities. While it provides the opportunity to document these obscure places through photography, it is also an illegal and dangerous activity that requires expensive equipment and risks drowning, as one must break into flooded sewers and drainage pipes below streets. The document highlights London's extensive underground sewer network as a location where urban spelunking is practiced, noting it was built in the 1860s to service over 1100 miles of the city.
