Explore the London Tunnels underground networkLondon, England

Deep beneath the streets of London lies a vast warren of tunnels that have seen more drama than a West End soap opera. Originally built during World War II as air-raid shelters, because getting bombed from above was very inconvenient, these tunnels quickly pivoted into something far more James Bond-esque.

They became the HQ for the Special Operations Executive, the ultra-secret wartime group responsible for all sorts of sneaky espionage. Later, the tunnels were used as a Cold War telephone exchange, featuring a direct hotline between the White House and the Kremlin; nothing says “world peace” like a little subterranean chit-chat.

Now, after decades of being forgotten like an old pair of socks behind the sofa, these tunnels are finally getting their glow-up. Soon, they’ll be transformed into London’s newest must-see attraction, complete with immersive historical exhibits, high-tech digital experiences, and - wait for it - an underground bar. C’mon, who doesn’t want to learn about history and sip a cocktail at the same time? Especially when it’s 30 metres below street level.

This attraction is the perfect chance to explore a part of London that’s been off-limits for years, and let’s be honest - who doesn’t want to feel like a spy creeping through secret tunnels?

So, whether you’re a history buff, a thrill-seeker, or just someone who likes their drinks served in ridiculously cool locations, the London Tunnels are about to become the place to be…in 2028.
