Activity description
Join expert tour guides to discover the journey and underground of Clapham South Station, explore over a mile of underground passageways, and hear extraordinary stories from those who have sheltered here since 1944.
Descend 11 stories underground to explore one of eight deep-sea shelters that exist beneath the streets of London.
Opened to the public in July 1944, the Clapham South deep-level shelter has over a mile of underground passages that reveal the extraordinary stories of those who sheltered here, from Londoners seeking refuge during World War II to hopeful Caribbean migrants arriving on the Empire Windrush and even budget visitors to the Festival of Britain.
