History (Stolen from a previous report by Ojay)
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 took control of the shelters, all of which have been leased out except for Clapham
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 Station
The shelter was originally designed to house 8,000 people during the blitz of WW2
Additionally I believe this shelter was leased to a zero carbon farm in 2014. No clue if they are still there though. Seemingly not.

Haven't seen any recent reports of this place but have seen the occasional photo pop up on Insta in the last few months. There were lights on in some parts but it only just dawned on me that I didn't try the lights in the main tunnel as I came prepared with torches so some pictures are a bit dark
Thanks for looking!
