The London Tunnels, a unique underground attraction set to open in early 2028, will transform the WWII passages beneath London into a cultural hub. Spanning a mile, these historic tunnels, once used for protection against the Blitz, will feature a part-museum, part-exhibition space, and part-cocktail bar. The project, led by Angus Murray with architects WilkinsonEyre, aims to preserve the site's rich history, including its use by British Intelligence post-war. The tunnels previously housed the world’s deepest underground bar, which is set to be revived as part of the new attraction.
When you go down into these tunnels, some 30 meters below London, it's almost impossible to not reflect upon the history that led those tunnels to be built, how they were built and ultimately, the men and women that sacrificed themselves through that process.
The tunnels were built during WWII to protect Londoners from the Blitz, and they stretch a mile under High Holborn and Chancery Lane.
The London Tunnels will occupy a series of underground passages and is expected to be one of the most significant new attractions to open in the city this side of the millennium.
With the help of WilkinsonEyre, London Tunnels CEO Angus Murray plans to open the tunnels up as a part-museum, part-exhibition-space and part-cocktail-bar.
