London Pneumatic Despatch Railway

[Deleted]

I'd heard of the Beach Pneumatic Transit in New York, but I didn't know London had its own version; I've never seen it mentioned on here:

Yes, remains of it still exist buried beneath the streets. At one time it was used either as part of a drainage system or for telephone cables, I can't remember which now. A car from the system is preserved IIRC at the City of London Museum.
