Discovering Subterranean London (Shire Discovering) por Andrew Emmerson

London's Secret Tubes; London's wartime citadels,… por Andrew Emmerson

The definitive book of the underground movement! This is one for everyone who likes probing into the secret world, with details of abandoned Underground stations, secret Government installations and the like.

It also explains a family story: that my grandmother once served Winston Churchill in a pub opposite Wanstead tube station.

London's Secret Tubes por Andrew Emmerson

Very thoroughly researched with history and photos of how each site came into being. Focusses on the different underground tubes and tunnels used during WWII including disused tube stations, GPO tunnels, BBS stronhold, Plessey factory, Whitehall tunnel, and deep-level shelters. Last chapter also highlights the current status of sites. Only thing I would like to have seen was more present day photographs.
