Many people sheltered in the London Underground (commonly known as "The Tube").
The London Underground began operation in 1863. A group was first formed in the 1850's to build the underground transportation system. The Underground stations were used in World War Two as shelters from German bombing, and many Londoners spend the night in the Underground to survive the bombs.

The London Underground (Tube) serves the actual City of London, known affectionately as "The Square Mile" and Greater London.

The tube serves many outlying cities as it stretches from the main 'circle' to places as far as Heathrow Airport but I do not believe there are any journeys more than an hour from 'Central London'.
There are 11 underground metro systems in the UK, with the London Underground being the most well-known and extensive. Other cities with underground systems include Glasgow, Newcastle, and Liverpool.
