This place has been floating around on social media sites since late 2020 ( Turns out a lot ppl I followed posted back in 2020 ) but in March / April of 2021 this place started to pop up a lot more & is now all over Facebook & Instagram via other explore and it pretty obvious where is due to how trodden down the parth is !
turns out once you do some google on this place a lot of sites talk about it .
I first saw this deep shelter start to pop up back in April Time( turns out I have liked and see photos on Instagram as far back as September last year just didn’t know what the place was ), after seeing the place pop up lots over last month on Facebook & Instagram I thought I do some digging to see if can find it and to my surprise I did!
I first attempt the bunker in April but by the time I arrived it was just too dark to even see anything & at the point, I didn’t really know what we looking for but a close friend of mine found the bunker via an old map and msg me where to go and how to get there, Was pretty surprise how close I was on my first attempt
The explore was pretty simple, we followed the well-trodden footpath down to the bunker! And took us about 5 mins to find the way in
Once inside it was just like most other deep shelters, had two corridors with interconnected tunnels in the middle,
Both tunnels had stuff all yanked down in them there also lots of chalk writing on the floor and on stuff from when people have explores over the years
My most fav part of the explore was gonna say is the newspapers - last time I saw newspapers that old was in an abandoned house . So was nice to see some in the tunnels
We didn’t spend too long down there prob about an hour due to the fact it’s a bit dodgy down there and didn’t want to walk back up the path in the dark and high winds!

It’s known that during the Second World War there were many radio aerials on land near to Reigate Hill and the area’s nickname was Radio City. Local residents who knew ARP wardens during the war,
