I've seen inside as well once years ago when I passed by and the door
was open. I seem to remember there was a roadsweeping vehicle in
there.
Yes, I think that one of the vehicles I saw in there was a roadsweeper,
too.

I presume that the ceiling comes down to meet the access ramp
of the underpass somewhere up ahead
Y4es but that would be quite a long way ahead, around two "bends, more
or less on the site of the former Aldwych tram station.

(I've always assumed - albeit without any form evidence) that the Subway
followed the Aldwych then turned sharp(ish) left under Kingsway?)

Yes it followed the roadway above it. Can just remember riding through it as
a boy. The trams were signalled off at intervals from the top of the ramp at
the northern end, and it was very exciting to be at the front of the top
deck as the tram swung round from Theobalds Road and plunged down into the
darkness! The conductors used whistles instead of the bell at the two
tunnel stations in Kingsway. It was very narrow and the trams passed each
other with little clearance as I recall.
