"Exploring London's Secret World War II Tunnels: A New Tourist Attraction"
TL;DR Summary
London's Kingsway Exchange Tunnels, a mile-long series of World War II tunnels, are set to be transformed into a glitzy immersive tourist attraction. Once protected by the UK's Official Secrets Act, the tunnels were used as a shelter during the Blitz and later served as the home of Britain's top-secret Special Operations Executive. The restoration project, led by fund manager Angus Murray, plans to invest £140 million ($170.5 million) in the restoration work and create an immersive experience with high-resolution screens, interactive structures, and scent-emitting technology. The project, if approved, aims to open to the public in 2027.
