During WW2, the tube tunnelling machines were used to build 8 deep level shelters throughout London, to house civilians and military personnel, safe from the bombing that was devastating London. Many of the tunnels, and their ground level entrances like this one, still survive. This entrance, near Goodge St tube stop, housed General Eisenhower. It was from here that he radioed his D-Day announcement.
