    A 27" tube will work.

    BTW, 700C is not a measurement, it is a designation. It was the third variant of a nominally 700mm wheel, the first one being 700A and the second one being 700B. The bead seat diameter of a 700C tire is 622mm and a 23x622 tire is roughly 26.4 inches tall. To get a 700mm tall wheel with 700C would require a 38mm tire, for 698mm.

    A 27" rim has a diameter of 630mm, or 8mm larger than a 700C. That's close enough for a tube, but not close enough for a tire.

    700c tubes will also fit 27" wheels, the two sizes are close, but 27" is an obsolete size.
