5/5 Clapham South deep shelter For this final snap from the tour of the shelter, here's the stairs that go up to Clapham South station (now blocked off).

It gives you some sense that deep means deep.

Thanks to @ltmuseum and Hidden London for the tour. Recommended.

4/5 Clapham South deep level shelter

More bunks. There was not a great deal of room - which might have been OK for a night's shelter, but the shelter was also used to house families bombed out of their homes.

3/5 Clapham South deep level shelter.

This snap shows how the bunks were laid out in one of the shelters. People sheltering had to bring all their own bedding (down 188 steps) and be out by 7am the next morning.

1/5 Clapham South deep level shelter.

Last week I went on a tour of the deep level shelter under South tube. This was built during the blitz but was not used as a shelter until the V1 V2 flying bomb raids in 1944. After the war they were used as a penny hotel, accommodation for the Festival of Britain and a reception centre for passengers.

On this day 4 years ago, I was in the long closed and abandoned Aldwych Underground station! This is the platform that got used to hold the Elgin Marbles among other things from the British Museum in WWII

4/5 hidden Piccadilly. Here's another view of the the lift shaft
made redundant by the 1920s modernisation of Piccadilly tube station. from my tour.

This one has people to show some scale.

3/5 hidden Piccadilly. The third snap from my tour of Circus tube station shows the lift shaft
made redundant by the 1920s modernisation that introduced escalators (though rightly we now want lifts as well to make stations more accessible).

2/5 hidden Piccadilly. Here's a the second snap from my tour of the hidden parts of Piccadilly. This passenger tunnel was part of the Edwardian Lesley Green station where passengers descended by lift. It was superseded by in the 1920s by the new modernised station serviced by escalators.

I like the signs that are baked into the tiles.
