Advantages: Fascinating, reasonably cheap day out Disadvantages: Caves can be cold and damp and it is easy to trip up!
...Alley" in the South which also suffered dreadfully from bombs deliberately discharged on the flight back to Germany or simply missed aim. With grim determination people found shelter over night and emerged the next morning to pick their way over the rubble to work. Those in Central London found ideal underground shelters in the tube stations. In Outer London, where gardens were more plentiful, Anderson Shelters were provided to many families. However for the people living in the suburbs of South East London there was a ready-made shelter just waiting for them.
The caves at Chislehurst are a labyrinth of entirely man-made tunnels - up to 20 miles of them - below the homes and gardens of the area. The caves are thought to have been started by the Druids (although this is open to debate) and were continued by the Romans and Saxons in order...
