I read somewhere that there was a huge cathedral sized cavern just off
the running tunnels between bethnal green and liverpool street.
Couldn't they just have built the bunker in that instead of digging
tunnels below the water table nearby?

No, because the whole point of the Deep Level Shelters is that they
were designed to be adaptable after the War as parts of the
Underground network, and "huge cathedral sized cavern(s)" - even if
they actually exist - don't fit that criteria.
