The intriguing Hidden London Tours see ticketholders visit secret locations throughout Londons Underground network which are usually off-limits to the public, but now in-person tours of Clapham South deep-level shelter are back for the first time in two years!

The tour will visit eerie tunnels in a little known area that is bursting with tales of Londoners looking for refuge in the maze of underground passages during World War II.

The tour also includes stories of Caribbean migrants who arrived on the Empire Windrush and made the deep-level underground shelter their temporary home.

In-person tours will also be available at the disused stations and tunnels of Aldwych, Charing Cross, Down Street, Euston, and Piccadilly Circus disused stations giving visitors the chance to experience these rarely seen locations whilst enjoying unique stories of London’s past.
