Daily Dumpling: Under London, tunnels and bomb shelters are set to be transformed into tourist attractions.

The Chancery Lane station of the London Underground houses the Kingsway Exchange tunnels, a historic complex with a diverse past. Originally built as a World War II shelter, the tunnels later served as a storage space for government documents and a secret communication system during the Cold War. Now, plans are underway to transform the tunnels into a tourist destination, with an investment of 220 million pounds for restoration and modernization. The complex is set to open in 2027, offering art installations, exhibitions, and potentially a unique underground bar. The rich history and potential of the Kingsway Exchange make it an exciting prospect for visitors, provided that safety and historical preservation are prioritized.
