Windrush@75 – Visit Clapham South: Subterranean Shelter

Sunday 2 June

Embark on an immersive journey through history! Delve deep into Clapham South Shelter and uncover the untold tales of the Windrush generation.

Explore beneath the surface as we take a guided tour through over a mile of subterranean passageways at Clapham South Shelter. This hidden enclave under London’s bustling streets reveals the extraordinary stories of the Windrush generation alongside the lives of others who sought refuge there during World War II.

Home to 236 hopeful Caribbean migrants who arrived on the Empire Windrush in 1948, the shelter now offers important insight into what life was like for the new arrivals.

This historic site offers a glimpse into a pivotal chapter of British history, inviting you to learn, reflect and understand how the Windrush Generation and their stories still impact us today.
