The site will open to the public next month, along with several other London Underground sites.

The United Kingdom is set to have a new tourist attraction as former Prime minister, Winston Churchill's underground bunker is set to open to the public.

The unused subway station in London was turned into a bombproof hideaway for the Prime Minister during World War II.

Visitors will now be able to wander through the abandoned passageways as part of the London Transport Museum’s Hidden London project.

Also on display along Down Street will be the "lost tunnels" of Euston station and the subterranean shelter at Clapham South.

Speaking on the project, Chris Nix of London Transport Museum said:

"Our visitors will have a rare opportunity to see a secret side of London and discover the amazing stories of the people who are connected to these hidden spaces,”

Also available to visit as part of the tour offerings will be London Underground's former headquarters at 55 Broadway near St James' Park and The Art Deco building.
