London road Deep shelter - Portsmouth

London Road Deep Shelter - Portsmouth

Date: 23-01-2018
Location: Portsmouth 


* AS FROM 2020 SITE BEEN FULLY SEALED WITH NO WAY IN *



We drove for over two hours to Portsmouth after hearing that the tunnels were open, uncertain if they would still be accessible. To our surprise, when we arrived at the entrance, the tunnels were still open. We hurried inside and began to explore. We spent about two to three hours in there, and the condition of the tunnels was amazing; everything was still in place.

It was noted that the tunnels were used during air raids, providing shelter for people during the war. Approximately 2,500 individuals used the tunnels, and during times of crisis, that number would double.
