This looks to me as if it is on the site of a previous one - so 'arrived' is not quite the term I'd use!

i'm no expert here. are you saying they've been around for a while in the UK ?

i know there's a pop up one in Reading which spends the day underground and surfaces for the benefit of late night town revellers.

it right next to the statue of queen victoria which is nice for her.

They have been around for ages in the UK - they just used to be called subways ;-)

we call underpasses 'underpants' in our household. and now i know why

For those who collect such trivia - I can now state that this one *is* on the site of a previous one. It is right beside a memorial to Oscar Wilde, which may or may not mean anything.

we can only speculate on its meaning.
