Unfortunately only about 45% of London's rail system is underground, so the size of the underground metro would be about half the total length of Moscow's. In any case, I think enough interest has been gathered to open an OoC, so I'll likely be doing that later tonight. When I do I'll be tagging everyone to make sure you're all still onboard. Once we're in there, we'll be able to hash things out a bit more in depth. Honestly though, I'm currently debating saying all the lines are underground for London's metro system in this AU. It would make things much less complex.

St. Petersburg would work, though a cpuple of people would like to avoid setting it in Russia. If we were going to do London, we probably would need to say it was an AU, and say the tunnels were built in a manner similar to Moscow's metro. In all honesty that's probably what we'll need for any setting other than Russia, or perhaps Pyongyang's metro. That system is only like 22km or something though.
I'm doing fine now, thanks for the concern. I suppose if Polis is only that deep then the London tunnels would probably be safe, but the other issue is that according to that map the tunnels appear to resurface in a few places, even along the Circle line. I'm not exactly familiar with the layout of London so I can't confirm this one way or another, though if it does we could just say it's AU, and the underground lines are only underground, unless they transfer to an above ground line or something. And I doubt the Tube has blast doors like Moscow's Metro, so those will likely need to be added as well.
As for weapons, a majority of the weapons in Metro seemed to be hand made. The only pre-war weapons were the AK47, the Kalash 2012, the VSV, the Bulldog in Exodus, and the Saiga-12. All the rest were made from scrap basically. I believe the brits had their own assault rifles to replace these though. In a world where nukes were launched, I'm sure London probably had some kind of military presence protecting it, and thus some military grade weapons and ammunition.
Foxes might be a good start. I'll need to see what else there is.

I'll throw my hat in the ring.
London could certainly be interesting. I'll need to look at the map of their metro system myself, as well as local fauna which may have mutated.
EDIT: I've found a map which shows the lines that are in tunnels. From what I can tell, any lines with gray bars surrounding them are underground.
For those who would like to see a geographically accurate (if a few years out of date) map, here's a pdf of one. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/224813/response/560395/attach/3/London%20Connections%20Map.pdf
EDIT: Upon further inspection, most of the underground lines are barely below the surface. The Tube does have deeper lines but they appear to be only the newer ones.

Sorry for my absence, I've been in the hospital for a bit now. In any case I'm back, and glad you're interested. This will be open to both casual and advanced RPers, so no need to worry.
Sorry about my absence there people, had a bit of a health issue which landed me in the hospital. That said, I'm back now. I'm glad you're all interested, and I can understand not wanting to do Russia, seeing as the three games covered that pretty well, though we'll still need to decide if we're in the metro tunnels or if we're following an exodus type story.
So after Exodus came out, I played the shit out of it. Once I beat it I replayed the others, in an attempt to quench my Metro thirst. This thirst has yet to be slated, and so I am now trying to start an RP based on the series. This could either be all in the metro tunnels as the first two were, similar to Exodus in where we travel above ground to various locations, or a combination of the two. I have no particular location in mind for a setting as of yet, so this would be something we could all talk about.
TLDR; All aboard for a Metro adventure!

I hope blind hunters are interesting.
