If you click on "Down The Tubes" it leads to a map showing all the
railway and ex-railway tunnels in the area. There are two curves
passing either side of the Great Northern Hotel. The northern is the
Hotel Curve - what's the other?

The old link between the Midland and the Widened Lines:

There has only ever been one such link and that passes beneath St
Pancras as shown.

The 'curve' John refers to is the Fleet river tunnel.

No. There is a West to North curve from the Metropolitan to the GN at
King's Cross, long since disused for railway purposes. There is also York
Curve, from East of platform 1 at the Cross to the widened lines.
