D587841 Down Street Station - Switchboard, telephone exchange

Disused underground station in Westminster that closed in 1932 but which at the start of the Second World War was converted into a bunker and operations centre. As such it was used by Winston Churchill until the Cabinet War Rooms were completed and throughout the conflict it was also a base for the Railway Executive Committee and the military.
