I used to work here in 1994 when it was part of Security Archives. I worked for the National Sound Archives - part of the British Library. We had a space for storage there with thousands of vinyl, audio tapes, CDs and also obsolete record players etc. There was a map of the area on a wall and the plan was two levels shaped like an 'H' on top of each other. We had one branch of on of the 'H's - I do remember passing by the archives of Decca and possibly Sony. I remember seeing a pallet stacked with large format tapes of Led Zeppelin multi-tracks and masters. We had to sort out excess copies of vinyls and dump them in a skip. I was there for a few weeks it was a bit freaky at times always glad when I got out.
Interesting. All those documents that used to be there, if scanned, can be now stored on a single computer hard drive that's at your desk; boggles the mind.
Really interesting, but you might want to think about taking a gas sensor down those tunnels, There could be pockets of sewer gas which is both flammable and can choke you. have rescued people from tunnels that were overcome by gas in the past and its not too uncommon. Stay safe!
HI , in the fire service we always use COmpressed Air Breathing apparatus, as if there is gas it may be from various sources and some cannot be filtered with a facemask that just tries to filter air, BA lets you breath safe air - you get around 40mins to an hours on a cylinder. @@someonesomewhere1559
Great to see that place again. Really good video. It used to be run by some people called Security Archives as a commercial store, and we had a whole load of recording master tapes housed there. People like the Decca recording studios also had lots of stuff in one of the other tunnels. That was late 1970s. The lift wasn't always working ... When they took it over from the government for its new purpose it was still full of the traces of having been a WW2 mass air-raid troop transit place. One side of the main tunnels had three levels of rectangular sprung bed frames on it, longways on, while the opposite side had them in bays, with the 3 levels of bed frames, with alternate blocks sticking out into the central passage way at right angles to the wall. In some cases the renters had put wire round a bay or two to make a secure locked cage for their storage. We just had our tapes in double-wall cardboard cartons stood on the sprung mattress frames, so that everything bounced around a bit! A few people had put some boarding on the frames, but it was all a bit disorganised. Later the operating company got a bit more fancy and they got round to putting in proper shelving, and accompanying people to access their storage areas, as initially I remember you just roamed around everyone else's stuff -- which was why some people had made their own lock-ups. I don't think it was ever used as secure government data storage, or if it was, it was under the same Mickey Mouse conditions as when it became a private commercial site!
Gosh, i sure do love it when someone who has actually been there and done that, seen it with their own eyes and experienced it, chimes in with easy to understand history on something like this that otherwise may have never been accessible to anyone else. Thanks! =] gee, working there (or even just having a designated storage area there) sure must’ve been fascinating....
Around 48:00 that looks like a tube station connection that's been bricked up, with the up steps and then down to the shelter with a right angle to slow blast. Also the extraction vent intake is a giveaway. The phone was a magneto ring phone with batteries for the voice circuit, used by the door wardens when the tube entrance is opened or closed, back to the shelter control room, which you haven't found yet, LoL 😁
46:31 If that's the entrance/exit I think it is, it is a connection to an underground station. But it is not a public entrance, it is VIP's which is why it and the tunnel to it are so small. The part of the station it comes out into is not a public area and it won't take much to figure out the VIP's this entrance was intended for given what's close by in this part of London.
It does connect to the station, this was one of the u.k.w.m.o bunkers, also part of a chain of bunkers across London which was often linked by radio, as part of civil defence, the exercises were called London linked, and the only bunker not linked was the one that red ken livinstone was responsible for, seeing as his party was against nuclear war, they used to open their bunker to the public, therefoe not allowing us to complete the chain, ?
Sorry, ukwmo, equals united kingdom warning and monitoring organisation, part of the government’s civil defence system to advise the government of bombs and yeilds and directions, l,m sure if you google it ,you will understand, lol
With belzise park, were other bunkers, godge street, which was eisnhowers hq during the second world war, clapham, clapham south, clapham north, it was hoped that all the tubes would be connected to each other, forminf an express underground railway, with did not take off, also used by the bbc, for theatrical use, doctor who, blakes seven etc, used as dorms for American soldiers during ww2, so, very interesting history,
this is a very educational video...thank you for posting it for us. I hope you turned off all the lights before you left....don't waste the electricity!
That was seriously good watching that, the place is absolutely vast although that sticking lift door wasn't doing much for my anxiety levels 😂 Loved the clip of the other explore at the end. How random was that guy, he totally threw me as well. "You goin in then" ... Er not exactly 😂
I was in one of those lifts when I worked there in the ‘80s. The phone rang. It was a wrong number and I was itching to explain to the lady that I was currently in a lift, going down to a secret MoD exchange which was below Charing cross underground. Had some proper adventures down there.
@@TheSecretVaultmany of the areas I worked in are still in operation, so no chance of ever returning. Something which always amused us, was how daft looking the various security passes were. I recall some tunnels being blocked off and sold some years ago. I was never bored when working down there and it was a real privilege to have done so... except for being mortar bombed by the IRA.
I love how when you thought someone was coming your concern wasn't "oh no, we're going to get caught and charged with trespassing. We need to hide or run away!" it was "Oh no, someone's coming, quick, _we need to run in deeper and see/ film as much shit as possible before we get dragged out!"_ Brilliant.
Awsome find Mate!!! The great thing is all the archives have obviously been moved to somewhere new that we can investigate in years to come lol. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i cant believe this huge space is just left there unused... all the lightbulbs work, everything is clean... this is ridiculous. Also how do you even store documents in these vast quantities there, wouldnt the paper just rot?
long as the air is dry and there is no moister. these underground places are great for storage. basically paper can last forever in a consistent environment. can even find documents in the suitcase remains left on the titanic. but to answer your question. seems this place shutdown in 2020? so everything is recently abandoned with light maintenance crews.
And on the lower level of the long one they simply put sheets of plywood or something over the top of the WW2 shelter bed springs, so all beds are intact, including the bedframes running along the tube fastened to the outer tube wall.
Lol,,,, the beautiful glass elevators in my doctor's building sound like a worn out bulldozer and the elevators in the abandoned shelter sound like a shiny new Bentley....
Whatching this reminds me..... Considering the UK is going to be carbon neutral by 2050, can I suggest the MOD and CO do a little rearch into where they have left the lights on? Some years ago, 2010 ish; I was tasked with helping BT engineers find a telephone problem on a UK airbase. Opened a `positive pressure building` from the cold war where the junction box was located. Gas checked prior to entry then found ALL the lights were on... Upon leaving I bumped into one of the site's electricians. He said `I've not been in there since 1987` I said `Oh...but you left the F'in lights on` 23-25 years....What has that cost the UK taxpayer I ask...
@@AEggidy See Tony Visconti's autobiography. Motion picture negatives...... magnetic tape... and the actuality ( color negatives ) for that marc bolan movie. I understand that damp was an issue in some of the tunnels.
Great explore what an amazing place that is I’d love to go somewhere like that. When the lift sign says manned from outside means that if you get stuck inside someone from outside the lift can call for help from outside the lift. When I saw all of you get in and the others had left I was worried for you. Be safe guys.
👍Cheers Matt it's Adiod Pea we had a live chat a few months ago, I just wanted to say. I've really enjoyed watching secrete vault since then your content as kept getting better better. So now me n the Mrs watch S.V like it's proper telly. "👾NICE!💀" Your like proper telly mate what an achievement like it or not you are the urb-X-man!!
Thinking more like "Night lighting" not emergency lights to ensure some lights are on at all times. I've seen the system in other places and the "Night lighting" can only be switched of from a central control point.
That "fan" thing you saw near the end is a Mercury Arc Rectifier. Very rare to see one installed, though I doubt it was "on" as you'd see a noticeable blue glow.
Great video! Whent down there last night tried the elevator and its not working and it makes a crazy laud noise which brang security. Came back next day and managed to get to the lower levels
Blows my mind that such a fully operational and useable bunker complex doesn't have 24/7 LIVE onsite security keeping it under watch. I sure as heck would 😮
If I were to set up an alarm anywhere (especially like this), I'd program it to say "Another visitor. Stay a while. Staaayyyy foreveeeeer!" (although most people breaking in won't be old enough to get the reference)

Yes you should've all sticked together. And one of you using the lift to go back up when others had disappeared, that was dangerous, fellt scared for you. Also if it had been me would've turned most (not all) of the lights off on leaving, someones paying the bill and much of the nation's electricity is still generated using fossil fuels and theres a climate emergency. I know only a drop in the ocean but anything that we can do! Great explore though guys thanks so much for doing and posting!
You can see parts of the previous world. Tartarian world with the arc rectifier and the yellow brick. The beautiful brick. Then they have artifact rooms. What did they pull out of that place when they founded it? Wow
@@TheSecretVault Must be! The mercury genarater though and the old school electric equipment! In the next room closest to the mercury genarater was a transformer! Wow to grow some veggie in there as well as create a living room with modern technology and live in there! Hmmmmd
It would be even better if the lift was still being powered off the rectifier in the electrical room rather than the AC motors. I remember seeing an old urbex blog from the 2000s and one rectifier was still running, does anyone know if any rectifiers are still working in one deep level shelters?
I'm quite surprised that even with the "warning asbestos" sign you still went in even though you didn't have adequate breathing equipment. It could also be a deterrent.
Those big mercury rectifier tubes with fan under it most likely runs the motors on the lifts. Most of the older lifts used DC motors. The fan probably turned on to cool the tube after the lifts were used.
I'd love to have watched how they built all that down there and how long it took and the material it took to do and bring things down. And all that amount of concrete as well
