Discovering Subterranean London (Shire Discovering) di Andrew Emmerson

Interesting, well-written, but not of extraordinarily broad appeal. Could be useful for a novelist...love those pneumatic tubes for the telegrams.

London's Secret Tubes; London's wartime citadels,… di 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. Given that this was actually an underground aircraft components factory during the war, it seems quite possible that having made a visit of inspection, Churchill is quite likely to have repaired to the nearest pub for refreshment!… (altro)

London's Secret Tubes di 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.
