#someone local to london please let me know is 'the Euston Road' at any point is near Moorgate please and thank you

[weird-tea]

My London geography isn't great but I noticed something on my reread of Lockwood and Co.

Kinda spoilers for the last book ahead. Ish.

So in TEG we learn that Lockwood's parents died in the underpass where the Euston Road ducks underground to avoid intersecting with another street. Well, in TSS in the scene we meet Kipps at the archives he says his team are there researching because of a 'Cluster of ghosts in a road tunnel near Moorgate.' and on the next page makes that odd comment about how bad things happen to people Lockwood's close to 'Since he was ever so young.' and there's a catch in his voice when he says it, and Lockwood gets all tense and closed off.

Did Kipps just read about Lockwood's parents' deaths in that road tunnel and not so subtly let Lockwood know that he knows? Is that what happens in that interaction? Cause if so that's one hell of a delayed pay off and I kinda love it.
