London's secret spy tunnels to become tourist attraction by 2028

A network of underground tunnels in London, once used by British spies and for secret communications, is set to become a tourist attraction. The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels, purchased in September 2023, will honor its World War II history and open in 2028. Built during World War II as an air-raid shelter, the tunnels later housed the Special Operations Executive and a secure telephone exchange. The site, which spans over a mile, was decommissioned in the late 1980s and remained largely forgotten. The new owner plans to invest over £200 million to transform the site, aiming to attract two million visitors annually. The project will feature immersive displays showcasing the tunnels' historical significance.
