Jerry Springer and East Finchley Station
 

According to various sources, Jerry Springer was born in East Finchley
station during WWII while his mother was using it as a bomb shelter. Is this
true? Were above-ground stations used as bomb shelters?

I wasn't aware that they were officially. Perhaps she was waiting for a
train when an air raid began, and had nowhere else to shelter.
