Roy showed us wonderful new photos and told us of the state of the WWII deep shelters in London. Always a favourite topic to our members at #subbritevents like this, our 2026 conference.
At our 2026 conference we memorialised the life of Martin Dixon who died in 2025. He was a long-term very active member amd Chair of Subbrit, and is very sadly missed.

For there to be more visits to underground sites, there needs to be more people organising them.
Get in touch if you can help.
Our Conference host Phil @TunnelInspector reflects on his presentation this year about @HeroRats and why you should come to our future events for more on human underground activities.
Our final conference talk is Charles Hardman from Subterranean Spaces Global @subterraneanspaces who build modern undergrond bunkers with NBC or blast or security options.

No need to book, just turn up – at busy times there may be a short wait to go underground.
We love that beneath the surface lies another world.
So we enjoyed Robert Macfarlane’s bestselling book, UNDERLAND and can't wait to see the film based on it.
