One of London’s most exciting tourist destinations is being developed from a once-secret labyrinth beneath the city. With a top-notch spy museum and an evocative subterranean pub, the wartime tunnels—100 feet below the streets—will reopen, providing tourists with a rare look into Britain’s secret past.
The tunnels, which were first constructed during World War II, were utilised for military operations that were classified and protected from enemy monitoring and bombs. This extensive network’s existence was maintained a close secret for decades—until now.
Interactive displays examining Cold War espionage, communications during the war, and the life of British intelligence officers will be part of the new attraction. Expect rich stories, unique artefacts, and even a bar that is modelled after an intelligence safehouse from the 1940s.
Developers say the project will preserve the site’s historic significance while delivering a cinematic visitor experience. With construction nearly complete, the tunnels are expected to open to the public later this year—offering a rare glimpse into the shadowy world beneath London’s feet.
