During the Cold War, a number of nuclear bunkers were established beneath London which, due to their nature, are tricky to find- or indeed have been demolished altogether.

There is one particular bunker though which is hidden in plain sight; you can see it on a south London housing estate- beneath a block of flats known as ‘Pear Tree House’- and in this video we will be exploring the intriguing story behind it...

Thank you so much for all of the kind comments I’ve received recently.

I really do enjoy reading your thoughts and would love to hear what you think about the Pear Tree House bunker- would you be prepared to sit out the apocalypse down there?! And if you’re old enough to have any memories of the Cold War era, please do let me know below.
