This was my second visit. The first time was ten years ago. Really interesting history that was told via the handheld wands. The visit starts by entering the "house" and picking up the wand and ends 90 minutes or so later in the canteen. There are no staff present at any time on either of our visits until the very end. That is where you pay. Excellent.
Interesting and eye opening! Well worth a visit. Suitable for kids, if they like their history. Wheelchair accessible and lots of parking. Pay on exit. Cards accepted at the self-service till.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
The bunker is disguised as a cabin from the outside. Facilities were surprisingly clean and well maintained. Lots of interesting material and facts. Only downside was it's in the middle of nowhere, quick and easy to ride an uber going in but coming back to town was quite the hurdle as there are no cabs or ubers around the vicinity. But overall it was a lovely and interesting surprise. The environment felt safe.
From the outside, the bunker appears to be a cabin. The facilities were surprisingly clean and well-kept. There's a lot of interesting information and facts here. The only disadvantage was that it was in the middle of nowhere; it was quick and easy to ride an uber in, but returning to town was a challenge because there are no cabs or ubers nearby. You must need your own car to go. It was 30 minutes drive from London. Overall, it was a pleasant and intriguing surprise. The atmosphere was secure. Highly recommended.
We headed down a long tunnel, through the blast doors and into the three floors of communications rooms, sleeping quarters, offices and medical facilities, all in place for the 600+ people who would have had to live here in case of the worst. With original videos to watch as we went round, it was quite a surreal experience, difficult to digest at times, but something definitely worth seeing, especially when you consider the measures required to keep the air clean and live-able for months of being underground, as well as other practical considerations! Thanks so much to Mike for all his help and for looking after us.
Well preserved and atmospheric underground place. I loved the visit, it was my best experience in underground fortifications so far. What to note: photo and video recording including phones is paid. At the time of my visit it was extra £5.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
We were staying at Kelvedon Hatch Camping and Caravanning Club it's not quite a miles walk last 200yards it was on the main road to walk which was the only let down. I am in total ore how human beings would put themselves in a Bunker like that to protect others, if you have children I would recommend them going and looking around and then they would see how lucky they are to have the country we live in, its the people of the war that put us were we are today living in such a beautiful country, without all the men that lost there lives and the women that looked after the land our lives would be different 10/10 and the. When you enter through the house make sure u get walking wand to listen to well worth the money and you pay at the end when you leave x We had a loverly chat to the owner that said the land was purchased from his farther and when it came up for sale in the early 90's they brought it back fantastic that it stays in the family with there surrounding farm x
Really enjoyed it, so did the kids. Found it creepy to think this was actually built for a nuclear bomb going off. Would have given it 5 stars but to ask people to pay £5 for a 'permit' to take pictures is a bit naughty....
Visited with my girlfriend, we both have been previously but years before. A very interesting, thought provoking and stark time capsule from the Cold War. Audio Wands duly taken at the start of the museum give an audible account of the exhibits before you. Telecommunications equipment, air purification, sleep quarters, wartime planning and generator rooms offer an insight into Post War running of the country. Videos of the era from Panaroma, Protect & Survive and Goverment Training films hit home how close we were to WW3. A canteen and gift shop is available at the end of tour whereby you pay for your entry. A wall of celebrity guests and television filming spots lead you out to the exit tunnel.
Brilliant place to see and very informative of this very tense time in history and pretty thought provoking given the current climate with the war going on. Would have been a 5 star had it not been the demand for £5 for a permit to take photos. Loose the extra payment. Sorry no photos to add as I'm not being ripped off in this manor.
