Epsom’s Air Raid Shelter Tunnel Tours

Keeping Epsom’s history alive!

As part of GoEpsom’s celebration of our community’s amazing history, Join Hidden History Tours UK in Epsom on Saturday 18th July 2026 to venture underground on torchlit tours to explore Epsom’s labyrinth of hidden wartime air raid tunnels!

Epsom once had a few deep level shelters but sadly only one remains accessible.

On our tours, (each lasting approx 2 hours including film screenings), find out about the mystery surrounding the first building of the shelter and how Epsom Council created the Ashley Road Deep Level municipal air raid shelter to attempt to protect the citizens of the sleepy suburbs from Luftwaffe attack during the Second World War.

Constructed 50 feet underground, the grid of brick and metal lined tunnels provided shelter to 1,500 people. It was completed in 1942, ironically not in time for the main bomber blitz at the start of the war, but provided cover to those seeking to escape the fall of V1 doodlebug flying bombs and V2 rockets at the end of the war.

Now long forgotten and hidden in woodland on the edge of town, this is a secret, unique and fascinating reminder of the dark days of Hitler’s blitz on Britain.

Spaces are limited.

Three tour options to choose: 10am, 12.30pm or 3pm. (Two hours each)

Suitable for adventurous 7 year olds and up. Torches essential! For ticket bookings and full details of this tour, and all of our secret and hidden locations above and underground (including accessibility information) visit our website: https://hiddenhistorytours.uk/
