The owner, Angus Murray, plans to invest $275 million in turning the underground tunnels into a tourist attraction featuring art exhibitions, fashion shows, and more by 2027.
Originally built in the 1940s for wartime purposes, the Kingsway Exchange tunnels have a rich history of serving as a shelter, espionage hub, and document storage facility.
To access the tunnels currently, visitors must ride a small elevator hidden behind a side door in a central London alleyway, but a new entrance will be created for the proposed tourist attraction.
London Tunnels, under Mr. Murray's ownership, is seeking planning permission to transform the tunnels into a bustling tourist spot capable of accommodating millions of visitors annually.
