Portsmouth’s Secret HQ D-DAY Tunnels 2018

This large underground headquarters was built in 1942 as a naval command centre. It is situated on Portsdown Hill beneath Fort Southwick, a large 19th Century Palmerston Fort. There are over a hundred rooms in the tunnel complex, and it was fully functional with offices, dormitories, Latrines, telecommunications etc, and it was utilised during WW2's 'Operation Overlord' as the main communication s centre, used by the Royal Navy, to plot the progress of the Allied troops during the invasion of Normandy on D-Day and throughout the remainder of the War.

[@yonolono8717]

Do you know if i would be able to get in?

[@skeeelooo]

I know a bunch of kids who hang out around there and its like a secret meeting place for them that everyone kinda knows about. I think they got into the tunnels but Idk if it’s legal because they also did a bunch of illegal things down there and the chalk pits. It doesn’t answer your question if you mean legally but i think you can get in.
