 |  |  | Clapham North Deep Shelter, London, UK
< on 10/23/2011 11:05 AM >
|  | | | There were eight deep level shelters built between 1941-1942 underneath existing London Underground stations.
Since the war, plans were drawn up to utilise the tunnels as an express rail route, but were soon dropped due to lack of funding.
London Underground have since taken control of the shelters, all of which have been leased out except for Clapham North.
30M down the mainshaft via a spiral staircase are two 1400ft long tubes, with connecting tunnels and a now bricked up link to Clapham North underground Station.
The shelter was originally designed to house 8,000 people during the blitz of WW2.
It was a nice, quick walk around. And even though I was incredibly impressed with the scale of the complex it did get a bit repetitive towards the end.
I was traveling light so all of these shots are hand held unfortunately, shooting at ISO infinity. And of course only had my fisheye to hand as per usual. I'll learn one day, I promise.

| | | | Awesome! I've been telling myself to head over to the station and poke around. I was under the assumption that accessibility was extremely difficult. Much on the contrary?

| | | | I would think it's no longer do-able since the local neds have obviously been getting in.

| | | | These photos are from mid-April so no idea how it is now. But back then it was stupid, and it was obvious that "undesirables" had been going down there. It was only a matter of time before it got closed up, but always worth popping along for a look I guess.

| | | | Now you just need to do the Common and South shelters for the full Clapham 3 in a pack experience. Guaranteed to be all the same, except South has a Mercury rectumfier thingummyjig that people seem to like.
