Extrapolated between the tube stations mostly I think.

Some of the "cut and cover" lines have been traced from aerial imagery
and on-the-ground observations (they have a visible surface
"footprint" due to the construction method, and the fact that you
can't easily build big buildings on top of them). The deep lines are
pure guess work, with a little artistic license to make the lines nice
and curvy.

Most of the underground isn't actually underground, so that part is easy!
