Thanks to Troglodyte for the invite...After a days txting and trying to work out how we'd get up there a time was arranged and Myself Urbanginger(cheers for the driving) Space invader met up with Troglodyte and well..a car full..I havnt seen much of the history posted ON this well visited of late site..I found some very interestung facts and info on the deep shelters in london and on this site,so rather than me try and cobble in my own words some of it im putting this link upwhich says it all.

The lights where a pain in the arse with exposingsome areas but easier to get around,Id packed up beforewe found the office areas on the way out ,but heres a few pics of the night,thing is as huge and great as the place is, one extremely long corridor looks identicle to another so sorry same looking pics all round..

Nice one It is huge - you get a weird feeling too when you stand between the floors and can see the upper and lower levels at the same time. Can't understand why it's empty

Yeah it's great. I was going to post it up on 28DL. Went last year but then tried to go again and the locks had changed Lovely place. Did you do the bit where you slide down a 45 degree slope above some pipes to a lower room?

You get totally covered with 70 years of soot but it makes you wonder why they made the lower room so hard to get to
