Many public (including the London underground) and private (anderson) bomb shelters. Complex network of early warning systems (radar) to give people time to get into shelter. Barrage balloons prevent low level attacks, anti aircraft batteries, and intercept fighter squadrons to break up the bomber formations. Preemptive raids on enemy airfield when possible.
