Anderson shelters weren't used in public places. They were distributed to the population for self assembly at their own homes. They had to be half buried in their gardens.
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.
Anderson shelters were outside and Morrison shelters were inside.
The Anderson shelters were desifned in 1938 by William Paterson and Oscar Carl.

Anderson shelters were bomb shelters so if they broke easily they wouldn't be much help in protecting people from bombs!!
i think the Morrison shelter was built under a table with metal all around
The Anderson shelter was designed in 1938 and distribution began in February 1939. By the start of the war over 150,000 had been provided. The shelters were primitive but extremely effective and took their name from the government minister responsible for overseeing the project - Sir John Anderson. Some shelters have survived to the present day and are used as garden sheds. see the attached article for some very useful information on various types of shelters. - I Warner
Anderson shelters, air raid shelters built for the poor, were introduced in 1938, just prior to the start of World War II. lol!
