Aldwych - From the Room with Roll-Down Doors to the Three Timed Doors

Climb through the trapdoor into the room above.

Go around the corner to the left and take out the thug and his dog in the next room. This guy doesn't have a burning club, so it's not as crucial to kill him quickly. You can probably take him out with pistols then jump up on the ledge and deal with the dog from there.

Get the shotgun shells on the ledge above the trapdoor where you came in. The closed door near the trapdoor contains the final secret of the game. You'll be back to get it later.

There's also another closed door on the opposite side of the room, which you'll open from the other side in a bit. The roll-down doors at the top of the stairs don't open. For now, pick up the MP5 clips in the little room between the two flights of stairs.

Fall through the break-away tile in the corner...

...and pull the movable box with metal coils once, so the trapdoor above it falls open.

Climb out of the hole and drop through the trapdoor.

Follow the passageway around to a crawlspace and crawl through until Lara can stand.

Then pull up on the right...

...and follow the brick hallway to the end. (If you go to the left end of this hallway after climbing out of the tunnel, you'll end up back at the ROOM WITH THE ROLL-DOWN DOORS.)

Just around the corner, the passage widens. On the left is a sloping passageway with metal walls. Ignore it for now; it's the exit from the area ahead.

On the right is a green alcove with 2 buttons. These control a set of 3 timed doors in the next room. If you like you can press both buttons to see which doors they open. You may also want to scout ahead to check the layout of the room you'll need to run through. Then return to the buttons and save your game before starting the first timed run.
