Once home to British spies and a secret telephone exchange, a network of tunnels beneath London will be transformed into a major tourist attraction.
LONDON – Behind a blue door in a narrow London passage lies a little-known network of tunnels deep underground, once home to British spies and a secret long-distance telephone exchange.
Now Murray hopes to transform the site, which stretches for over a mile , into a major tourist attraction “honoring the history and heritage of London” with a planned opening in 2028. The Special Operations Executive was created by then prime minister Winston Churchill earlier in the war to support European resistance movements fighting occupation by Nazi Germany.
The UK government later enlarged the site in the 1950s at the start of the Cold War to host a secure long-distance telephone exchange, shrouding it in official secrecy for decades. “Because during the war some of the telecommunications exchanges got bombed, they needed a deep level telecommunications exchange,” said Murray.
