Made up of 22 miles of winding subterranean tunnels once used to extract flint and chalk, the Chislehurst Caves were originally used by the Druids, Romans and then the Saxons and have a played a host of roles over the years. In modern history they served as London's largest air raid shelter during WWII, have been used for mushroom cultivation, and even as a music venue seeing the likes of rock greats such as Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd. Located just 25 minutes outside central London, 45 minute guided lamp lit tours are offered every hour, and special accommodations can be made for large groups, birthday parties, or special events. Chislehurst also has a full service restaurant, gift shop, and ample parking.
