EMPTY LONDON UNDERGROUND

USUALLY full to bursting, these London Underground stations stand silent and completely commuter free.

'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.
