I think in "Hidden London Hangouts" they said that most of these shelters were started during WWII but not open to public until 1944 (after the 1942 Blitz). The Clapham South one was used by the Empire Windrush, and something about during the 50's there was a Festival of Britain and some of the workers had their sleeping quarters in some of these shelters. The actual stations were the real WWII shelters at the height of the bombing.

i used to go to those tunnels while working for a data storage company about 25 years ago, they rented them for storing files and computer reels on behalf of companies. It was a company called security archives.

On the other side of ‘Bean About Town’ van you can see the ventilation tower, that you where talking about at the top of the stairway....you can see the tower from the road...40:46
The lined section is where the underground farm Growing Underground did its trials, they have now moved to the next shelter up. I visited a few years back to provide provisional drawings for a new lift to provide better/safer access.
Hey Matt, come from (Karl” dark arts, ) and (Dan’s” exploring with fighters) and (Andrew” proving demons) and iv SUBSCRIBED to you buddy, really liking ya channel.

I hope you told someone 🤦🏻😂 Really enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing Matt. 👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍 Anthony, HIGH1VOLTAGE1RULES
Looks like they are going to extend the tunnel or were thinking of doing, that's a permeable lining for the water ingress for the tunnel sections and looks like a newly sprayed concrete lined bit on the tunnel as you get further down it.
Thanks Matt look up clekenwell prison it's privately owned when i visited in 1992 built as a house of ditenson in 1800s but has an undenith prison completely unexplored because the cost of removing the celled up entrances of old bricks are listed and have to be pur back in exactly the same as when you remove them incse to costly

I don’t know what the homeless situation is there but these bunkers would make great shelters

When you came out to the funky van through the door, did you notice the breather shaft tower opposite in the yard?
I'd love to explore with matt, always exciting content

@TheSecretVault happy Christmas matt have a good one 🎅❄☃️
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to One and All
damn shame the plant room is flooded... shame to know there's a nice mercury arc rectifier down there. not many of them left in the world.
Lifts at Oval now replaced with escalators. It gets hot beause the London clay retains the heat.
Blocked off at the escalator excavation.
Marry Christmas Matt.
merry X-mas to all and thanks for the great Explore.
The lined section is where the underground farm Growing Underground did its trials, they have now moved to the next shelter up. I visited a few years back to provide provisional drawings for a new lift to provide better/safer access.
Do you use ace beam W 3000 torches 🔦 what do you recommend
😊 found the green bean car in Google Maps
lOOKS LIKE ENOUGH STEEL, IN THE CONSTRUCTION, TO BUILD SEVERAL MORE AIR CRAFT CARRIERS. CONGRATES TO ALL

Crazy Eyes!
You need pockets with zippers lol
you would think with the heat rising out these bunker you think they wouldve figured out a way of piping it and utulising it for somthing
@@urban_fox_cub_urbex i thought he said you could feel the heat making on the way up thought maybe there was rising heat effect in there
They are huge. The trains you could hear are they the ones above ground or the London underground.?
Under
hearing them trains like that scares the shite outta me
Tyskie polish beer as well as cup on the steps
SKIP TO 9:58 TO SEE SOME CLOWN DROP HIS TORCH
Hummnn ...Bisto. Also, Hummmnn.
Lanyard is wanted need
Type in, Baby shark on youtube
the trouble is if another nuclear war happened would anyone survive in the uk even with bunkers i dont think it would be cost effective
Yep. We got off lucky with the last nuclear war we had. Peace!
I would have left the flash light. Flashlights are cheaper than infections.
