The Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker: Britain’s Last Line of Defense

Hidden beneath the English countryside, the Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker was designed to protect British government officials in the event of a nuclear strike. Built in the 1950s, this three-story underground complex could accommodate up to 600 people. Today, it stands as a museum, offering visitors a chance to explore its operations room, dormitories, and even a BBC studio. The bunker provides a fascinating insight into Britain’s Cold War strategy and the lengths to which the government was prepared to go to ensure continuity in the face of nuclear annihilation.
