there where two air raid shelters one was the Morrison shelter which looked like a table
the other was the Anderson shelter which was underground
During WW2 many Londoners slept on the platforms of London Underground stations. Basements of buildings were used as communal air raid shelters. Morrison shelters and Anderson shelters for individual families were also used.

Evactuation is where Men,Women,Boys and girl's at the age of 6 month's had to be evactuated. They had to stay in the underground or Air raid shelters and Morrison shelters. The Morrison shelters were something you would lay in. Air raid shelters is the outside sheleter that has grass on top and it goes very deep down undergroung you would sit in it until the ' all clear siren went off ' . The underground is a train station they would sit there day after day hours after hours waiting for the all clear siren went off . By E.J.Woodruff This is incorrect. The word is "evacuation" (no 't'). It has nothing to do with air-raid shelters; it refers to a British policy, during WW2, of sending children out of cities (principally London) to stay with families in the countryside, in order that they should not be the victims of German bombing raids. The children were known as "evacuees"; in general they were welcomed and treated well. For a very funny satirical account of the system, see Evelyn Waugh's novel "Put Out More Flags".

Rarely but yes some air raid shelters during the blitz did have carpets. There were many types of shelters in WW2 such as the Anderson and Morrison shelters but many shelters included basements and even rail way tubes. Though carpets were never used in the rail way tubes a few private shelters did include carpet however most were basic.
The ww2 air raid shelters were dug deep underground and then bricked in with strong materials to keep people safe from air raids. Some air raid shelters have been renovated and are still used today for other creative purposes.

Two totally different things. -Air raid shelters were used by British civilians under air attack during WW2. - Trench warfare was what Allied troops did during WW1 when muddy trenches were their only shelter from German shelling.

You should know
In Britain during WW2 ARP stood for Air Raid Precautions.
I should imagine the air raid wardens by sounding an air raid siren!
