About
Take a step back in time to the Cold War era with a visit to the Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker. This massive underground complex is the biggest and deepest Cold War bunker open to the public in the Southeast of England. As a Regional Government Headquarters, the bunker would have housed hundreds of staff, including Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Our self guided audio bunker tour is a fascinating opportunity to explore this unique piece of history and discover the secrets that would have unfolded in the event of a nuclear war.
