To mark the 70th anniversary of the Blitz and the Battle of Britain, Londoners and visitors are being offered a unique opportunity to descend into a disused Underground station and experience firsthand where thousands took refuge from the bombs that rained on the capital.

The tours, which will be led by actors portraying 1940s characters - including a spiv and an ARP warden - will offer a glimpse into what life was like for people sheltering on the Tube during the Blitz. The station will be dressed to give a wartime feel and atmosphere and outside, at street level, a pre-war RT8 bus will be parked near Aldwych Underground station in Surrey Street.

Tickets:
£8.50 (all tours last approximately 45 minutes).

Tickets for this event must be booked in advance. Please note that tickets are limited and expected to be extremely popular so please book early to avoid dissappointment. Telephone 020 7565 7455 to book your tickets now.
