The CX & Embankment Northern Line stations must be very close to
each other.

Not as close as some (e.g. Covent Garden & Leicester Square). From
recollection the CX Northern line platforms are on the northern side
of the Strand whilst the Embankment ones stretch under the Thams (I
think the loop that formed the northern platform does). But one can
still see the light at end of the tunnel when looking north.

I don;t think the Strand /platforms/ extend under the Thames, just the
former terminating loop which was walled off for the war and in fact the
only sub-Thames tube to be breached by bombing.
