At embankment station, there's a room behind/under the down escalator
leading to the northbound northern line platform .There's victorian
tiling on the right hand wall as you look in from the foot of the
escalator; why?

Surely there's Victorian tiling in all (most) underground stations,
undernath all of the modern **** that stuck on top

But the Victorians didn't have escalators, so why would there have
been a passageway in that particular location? Its parallel and next
to the passage between the bakerloo line and the northbound northern
line platforms, so it doesn't seem to be purposeful.

I'm not quite picturing all this. There would be nothing at Bakerloo/
Northern level till about 1906 or so would there?

Do you mean that there was a deep passageway predating those lines?
