According to Italian newspaper Repubblica The Facility Architects, a UK based design studio, will develop a prototype of power station powered by energy harvested from a few London Tube stations.
Claire Price, one of the studio architects, explains that the 34k commuters that pass through Victoria station during rush hours could power 6500 LED light bulbs. Not bad.

Update: found reference to the BBC article.
