The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels have seen a lot of history since they were built in the 1940s. Next up: mixologists.
British Telecom acquired the site in the 1980s, and while it was in residence there it installed the world’s deepest licensed bar that was solely accessible to government staff. The technology behind the telephone center was eventually phased out, so the site was decommissioned. If plans for the tunnel’s next phase are approved later this fall, though, the space will likely come roaring back to life.
“The history of the tunnels, their scale, and the location between London’s Holburn and the historic Square Mile, could make these tunnels one of London’s most popular tourist destinations,” says Angus Murray, CEO of The London Tunnels, in a statement. If he gets the green light, Murry and his team will first invest $170 million in restoration work and another $97 million for lavish embellishments that would modernize it for today’s history buff.
