    if there is such a thing as uncanny valley for places rather than people then your pictures seem to capture that feeling perfectly for me. always seems not quite real.

    Re: 2 mile long london deep-level ww2 shelter photos

    I love stuff like that. Recently there was a programme about the Home Guard (The real Dad's Army? - 3 parts) and they showed you loads of things that would form the defence of GB in WW2. In a quite modern suburb (I think somewhere in the midlands) there was an unassuming door in a building that looked a bit like those sorts of small buildings the electric and gas companies build. They had this bloke who opened it up and it was a massive two level bomb proof bunker where Churchill and the government would be moved to if London became too dangerous.

    Britain is littered with loads of WW2 defence structures. They really should be preserved. Iirc there was a bunker in London that was being sold and a nuclear bunker went up for sale on ebay last year.

    Kind of looks like a cross between Oblivion's tunnels and Fallout 3's vaults.

    How deep underground is that? I'm betting a lot deeper than vault 101.
