I was aware of the Paris Catacombs but not the ones in Nottingham mentioned in a comment following this article. I thought this was an interesting read.

Nice article

There are several cities that have catacombs. When a city is build on limestone/sandstone the change is big that there are catacombs.

The Napoli underground is also a fine example (and well documented) http://www.napolisotterranea.org/en/naples-underground/
