What is left of this line, if anything?


Not a lot, probably.


Next time I'm going through the Snow Hill tunnels I'll have a peek,
though I probably won't see anything.


There are some remains of the platforms planted with pillars
supporting the oiffices above.

As it was all underground I doubt
exploring the surface by foot will.....


Correct!

I'm especially intrigued by the Smithfield GW goods station, which I
presume was under the meat market itself.


It is now an underground car park; its approach ramp from West
Smithfield is that built for the goods station.

I've also heard of a rowdy
boozer located in the bowels of the market, patronised by the market
workers, which if it's still open I might try and explore when I'm
feeling brave!


Dunno about that - I have never dared to explore the car park or had
need to use it.
