Just wanted to say your videos have been on point lately. You can tell you’re having the time of your life and it shows in the videos. Every week I’m more and more impressed. I wasn’t sure how the vibe would be getting out of the ghost hunting videos, but the vibe and energy are great. Congrats on the van!

What do you mean London was safe from air raids? The city was heavily bombed between Sept. 1940 and May 1941, so I guess those shelters were being used back then.

[@liamsharkey-poggio1423]

It was called the Blitz, do some research before you go to these places Josh lad. It’s a hard one to miss!

[@MHLivestreams]

They were probably only for government employees, etc.

[@melissastuart1981]

Maybe what he meant was when the raids happened people had somewhere to go

[@Wig4]

The KIngsway tunnels were home for the British secret service. Nothing less, nothing more. Not built as public shelters. There were several public shelters (10 planned, only 8 built) but this was not one. Most got completed only after the Blitz... However, most 'public' shelters were never used by the public as well in reality, only by the government.

[@gregbrink45able]

I think you'll find that London was heavily bombed during the blitz and these shelters were extensively used to protect the people of London especially those below existing station tunnels at Clapham South, Clapham Common, Clapham North, Stockwell, Oval, Goodge Street, Camden Town, Belsize Park, Chancery Lane and St. Pauls.

[@Mrsamaj14]

[@smokinvalves]

No.

[@Techno-Universal]

19:30 Actually those lifts were restored in the early 1990s and had a light generic modernisation which involved the installation of the newer buttons and indicators on top of a new microcontroller lift logic which is most likely Lester Controls or Thames Valley as those were the two primary generic lift logics used at the time.

[@jenniferk.7023]

I was worried you guys were going to get in trouble, London has cctv cameras everywhere, i think. This was so cool to see, thank you for taking the risk. I never would get to see anything like this, otherwise. I'm also always holding my breath when you and your crew are climbing up old sketchy stairs or ladders. I say a little prayer every time lol. Once it's opened for tourists, i imagine a lot of it will changed from its original state. We get to see it before they change anything. ❤

I wouldn't go down in that lift I'd sooner take the ladder steps! It's crazy because I overcame a fear of them I had for years no one could pay me to use that 1

[@hariranormal5584]

19:22 the lifts might be old but the Digital buttons/LED displays suggest that it actually was modernized not so recently (probably 80's+ or more, can be anything tbh you need more info to determine what years it was from)

[@RazzRG]

Those types of buttons and displays have been around since the 50s.

[@hariranormal5584]

@@RazzRG Displays not really. This is from the UK. It's common those displays mostly are from over 80's and more. I've had friends from England who do Urban exploring and the likes as a hobby and they have many samples, and most of those typea displays are mostly from 80's or similar but not 50's. In the 50's they only probably used the old style strip indicators, not segment displays. I don't have the exact year count but of when they are introduced though but defo not during the 50's.

[@cindycat316.]

I have known this channel for a long time now, like, before I even made myself an account on youtube. Like, middle school age. I've always loved abandoned places, and I'm always grateful when you can provide background about the history of said place. Stuff has happened, and I wasn't able to watch your channel for a while. When I returned, I was worried that you had switched to just doing ghost videos. It's nice to see you still going on crazy adventures. And I am so glad that even after you've grown more famous, you still deliver the same spectacular content of just exploring hidden (or even not so hidden) wonders. Thank you, Josh.

[@redheadclaire]

I was nervous when you and Dan were in the elevator even though I knew you guys survived 😅 I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure! There’s no doubt in my mind that I would have got lost. Haha.

[@Hoodzy83]

I agree that did look like the backrooms! Lol Oh the potatoe peeling machine is called a rumbler 😊

[@andreiefremushkin1581]

It's clear that you've never learned about how much time it takes for the ground to be safe to go back up to. It's not years. I don't remember the exact numbers but in 48 hours 70% of the radion dies out. in 3 weeks it's 99%. Basically, wait a month and you're good to go. Notice that both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were rebuilt and people live there for many years now. It's important to remember there's a difference between a nuclear power plan going "Ka-Boom" and a numclear bomb exploding. The whole idea in a bomb is to "burn" all it's fuel to generate the explosion so there should be the minimal amount of nuclear waste left - explosion is the WANTED RESULT. When a power plant explodes, it's uncontrolled and the UNWANTED RESULT.

[@musicpunk5]

I definitely wouldn't be using that elevator. There's one at my job that goes 300 ft underground, it's fairly new but has broken down 3 times in the last 4 months. No thank you.

Hey Josh I think guys should consider getting some climbing equipment & taking a few lessons on climbing. That way you will know how to safely tie off on something as an added precaution in case something breaks under you & you fall. It would give you extra tools to use in staying safe. Also in the gym it's a great workout. Well for you. I can barely go up my step stool to hang my hammock chair on my porch. Also I have fibromyalgia. I'm just going to assume that fibro doesn't play friendly with climbing.

[@Nirrrina]

You might also consider carrying a rescue beacon in some cases too. You can always leave it off unless needed. If you don't already carry one, you'd better have one, a good first aid kit would help. Especially with an emergency sleeping bag/blanket.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Josh, I say you would be great at picking a team and logistics (planning). Yay Josh, I remember when you went in Jax's school bus and you have always wanted one from then, I am so happy for you that you finally got one, congrats. Nope, I would use the stairs lol. You need to ask Matt to take you to the red door, it is a set of underground rooms that were a chalk quarry I believe, there is a huge are in it called the Cathedral too. That decontamination unit was if someone got exposed to radiation or another dangerous chemical etc. Thank you for sharing, rise above, much love. xx 🥰

[@alfonsocenni]

One of this tunnel system is located under Clapham Common station. I used to work down there in a Hydroponic Vertical Farm, only a part of the tunnel system was in use the rest was a pitch black never ending tunnel. The funny part was you could hear the underground trains going in the tunnels above you.

[@shadowmoon5445]

can you check out the swiss tunnles/bunkers, I know they allow tours now

[@JulieIreland]

Just for thought... Living down there you'd never experience weather, sunlight, nature, etc. That's just so mind-blowing to me. Yes it would save lives, but it'd definitely change the way life is lived. Anyways, can't wait to see where the bus takes this channel! Cheers to new adventures! Let's GoOoOo!!!

Amazing video. The James Herbert novel - Domain uses Kingsway as a setting for around the first half of the book. It follows a bunch of people caught up in the aftermath of a nuclear attack on London and their survival against a plague of nightmare rats. A slow but good read and he captures the essence of this place so much based on your video, albeit it was more “operational” than it is now. Recommended read if you like Herbert’s horror novels. Never got made into a film though. Fascinating what you did here though and makes you think there’s a lot we don’t know. ❤

[@CamLover]

✅If someone is claustrophobic, they don't go there at all, but rather in the narrow horror elevator. ✅And if the elevator stopped due to damage, then I'll see how you escape... ✅However, exploring by yourself, having left your friend behind at a point waiting for you to return, is like a suicide mission, if only of absolute horror.

[@TheSilmarillian]

Valid points indeed. May I suggest if elevator stops and fails roof hatch climb out and service ladders on walls but I more than see your view, nice guide tour though but separating and leaving an untrained person on point, disaster waiting 2 happen , my view on this vid people on a guided tour stretching 2 the sky 2 be come social media influencers to get ratings on social media for when they open it 2 tourists, yep those young people got used picked it with the tour guide a set up in motion , nothing wrong in that I guess but the uploaders are no longer urban explorers in my humble opinion.

0:48 I spoke too bloody soon. Clinging on to the hope that what you've just put out there is the lead up to some kind of joke or at worst me experiencing good ol' fashioned failing to understand. Two nations separated by a common tongue - type thing. Not even made it past the first minute of footage and you just spewed up "... but they never actually obviously used any of them [air raid shelters] because London was safe." 0:51 Putting aside the disrespect shown by you for the abrupt ending of the lives of ⅙ of London's population during the Blitz; No way could you have said that if you'd known that over 43000 civilians were killed over the initial eight months of Luftwaffe air raids on the capital. But why, between your visit underground and this showing of your footage, didn't you gen up on such facts‽
