because of the Luftwaffe's bombing of London and other major cities during the blitz, many children were evacuated to rural and lesser populated areas to move them out of possible harms way. London, for example relied heavily on the tube system ( underground rail ) as bomb shelters, which became extremely crowded. My mother was one of the children evacuated during the war.

Why did the British Government evacuate children from major cities in the early years of World War 2?
For several reasons. First, because western European populations were still traumatized by the brutality shown by German troops invading in 1914, WWI, and maybethought WWII would repeat WWI. But most generally, in Great Britain, like in France, major cities were regularly under fire by artillery and or air bombardments. Children were thus evacuated to the countryside more secure or even in other countries already occupied and generally peaceful. My own parents in southern Belgium were caring for 4 french children temporarily evacuated from the French City of Metz. London was under daily fire by V1 and V2 German rocket bombs. And finally, destructions were huge and finding shelters and food became a massive daily problem.
