Explore Clapham South underground station's unused tunnels with an expert guide

Go out for an extraordinary underground adventure, descending 11 stories beneath the crowded streets of London to discover one of the city's eight deep-level air raid shelters.

Accompanied by knowledgeable guides, get a deep understanding of the shelter's rich history. Navigate through disused tunnels and winding passageways, each holding a unique chapter of Clapham South deep-level shelter's story.

Opened to the public in the summer of 1944, the station stretches over a mile below the city's surface. It echos with tales of wartime Londoners seeking refuge, Caribbean migrants stepping off the Empire Windrush full of hope, and frugal Festival of Britain attendees.
