The Fall
As you fall grab onto the first slanted ledge. Drop straight down. Lara will bump into another ledge pushing her forwards a little. Grab onto the edge of the passageway and pull up for some Shotgun Shells. Drop into the water below. Get out of the water and head towards the stairs. This is the entrance to Aldwych Station.
Aldwych Station
Run up the stairs all the way to the top. Just before the top you’ll notice a square vent to your right. Shoot open the vent with your pistol and drop inside for a Power-Up Crystal. Climb up the grating to the top and then a second grating to a room with red metal girders. Run around to the right for some Flares and Shotgun Shells. On the other side of the room you’ll find Uzi Clips but take out the Gang Member first as he’ll attack once he spots you.
Return to the opening and just in front on the left is a block with metal coils. Pull it out once and then drop down the hole on the other side into the ticket room. You’ll land on a ticket machine. Shoot the Thug who drops a Small Medipak and then drop down to the floor.
Climb onto the ticket machine nearest to the office. Jump up and grab onto the block with metal coils that you pulled out earlier and climb up the grate to the top. Turn to the left and hop backwards, grabbing onto the edge. Drop down into another tunnel.
Go to the end of the tunnel and safety drop, or climb down, the hole to the right. You’ll drop into the ticket office. Grab the Maintenance Key and a Large Medipak then press the Button to open the door so you can get out.
Leave the office and go down the escalators at the far left side of the ticket room.
From the bottom of the right escalator take a running jump across the gap to the other side. You might want to save your game here just in case you miss the jump. Run around the corner and turn right. Take out the Thug and the Dog and run towards the locked door. Use the Maintenance Key on the lock to open the door and go inside the green-walled room.
Pick up the Small Medipak and Uzi Clips. You can push the Button here to turn on the lights but it doesn’t make much difference. Leave the room and run to the other end of the platform where you’ll find an Old Penny.
Head back the way you came to the escalators. You won’t be able to jump back across so drop down to the train tracks below. When facing the escalators you want to run along the tracks to the left. Before you get too far a train will approach. Duck into a passage on the right before Lara gets squashed.
Run up the passage, taking out 2 Thugs along the way, into a room with red crates. On the floor on one side you’ll find a Small Medipak. Climb up the stepped-crates and then run over to the right. Behind the crate in the corner is a Power-Up Crystal. When you climb back out a Dog will be released into the room.
Turn to the left and take a running jump to the crate on the other side of the room and another running jump to the crate in the far corner. See pic below.
Turn around to face the center of the room and take a standing jump from the corner of the crate to grab onto the ledge just in front and above you. Pull up to find the Uzis. Do a safety drop back down to the floor.
Make your way back up to the crate that’s facing the corner crate where you jumped up to grab the Uzis. This time do a side flip to land on the sloped block and then a forwards jump to grab onto the grating.
Climb up until Lara’s hands are level with the second bar from the top. Do a backflip to land on the platform behind you. Turn around and take out the Thug that attacks from behind you. Climb up to the block he came from and take the Small Medipak that he dropped.
Turn around to facing the grating you climbed up and jump up to grab the grating on the roof. Follow the grating around to the right and drop down.
Walk down the ramp on the left and then climb onto the block on the right. Turn around and take a standing jump to grab the crate on the other side of the platform. Pull up for a Rocket. Hop down and climb back up the block again to the room with the big drill.
Now you’ll need to perform a tricky manoeuvre to find the first secret. Once you enter this room the drill will start moving downwards so you need to go quick.
Slide backwards, grab onto the edge and drop down onto the breakable tile. Side flip to the left, slide down and forward jump to grab the crevice on the other side. Shimmy across to the right and drop down onto another breakable tile. As you land roll to face the other direction. You’ll drop onto a sloped block. Jump forwards to land on another sloped block. This time grab onto the edge as you slide down. Let go and grab the crevice a little lower. Do this three times until you come to the ledge with the Power-Up Crystal. This is Secret #1. You’ll also find some MP5 Clips just to the right of the crystal. Safety drop down to the bottom of the drill shaft.
Pick up the Large Medipak at the base of the ramp. Climb up the ramp to the first landing. Instead of continuing up the ramp climb up the block on the left.
Turn around 180 degrees and take a standing jump to pull up into a room above with grey tiles. Turn to the right and pull up into the room above with the small pool. Jump over the gap in the floor and run behind the grated wall for a Power-Up Crystal. Jump back across and climb up the grated wall to the top. Dodge the flames and climb up the small block and then the brick wall.
Pick up the Small Medipak and then climb onto the sloped platform to the left. Walk to the left and take a standing jump diagonally across to the grated wall. This time climb up until Lara’s feet are in line with the first steel bar and do a backflip.
Press the Button in the alcove to open a trapdoor in the crate room. This will also turn on a flamer at the top of the grated wall. Jump back across to the grated wall. Climb to the top and pick up the Uzi Clips at the top. Stay crouched to avoid the flamer and drop down on the other side.
Follow the path along, climbing up the blocks along the way. Enter the room with the red metal girders on the roof and walk all the way along to the left side. Take out the Rat and pick up the Large Medipak in the corner. Drop down the hole in the grating to the train station area below.
Drop down to the railway tracks and run to the room with the crates. Do the jumps across the crates to reach the grating as you did before. Climb up the grating, backflip and then jump up to grab the grating on the roof so you can make your way back to the drill shaft.
This time you’ll be able to walk across the top of the drill. Climb up the block on the other side and pick up the First Solomon’s Key. Follow the passage around the corner, climb up and continue up the passage. At the top do a safety drop to back to the room below. Drop down the hole in the grating to the train station area again.
One more time drop down to the train tracks and run to the crate room. Climb up the crates and jump up to the grating as before. Backflip to the ledge behind you and climb up the trapdoor opening in the corner to the left.
One more time drop down to the train tracks and run to the crate room. Climb up the crates and jump up to the grating as before.

Middle Door: Press the Right Button again which opens both the middle and the right door. Run up the path and this time go through the middle door. Climb up through the trapdoor to the left that you opened by pressing the button in the right room. Press the Button to close a grate just ahead so that you can walk across.

In the center of the room is a Power-Up Crystal and Uzi Clips.
Place the 2 Solomon Keys in the locks to open 3 doors. One at the back of the temple, one towards the front of the temple and another one in an underwater passage.
