A seriously underlooked attraction, the caves are not in fact caves but a twenty-mile long network of passageways, carved from the chalk deep under Chislehurst . Used as a massive air-raid shelter during World War II, the Caves are now a local tourist attraction. Tours often last for an hour, where you'll learn the fascinating history as well as hear ghost and horror stories.
The Chislehurst Caves are a series of intersecting man-made tunnels and caverns covering some 22 miles (35.4 km) in Chislehurst in the London Borough of Bromley.
