These eerie photographs were compiled by social media director James Whatley, 34, who stumbled into the idea of capturing a deserted Underground. 'It was almost accidental if I'm perfectly honest,' says James, of London. 'I've spent nearly six years capturing these moments and it was only after the first five that I realised I was making a hobby of it.
