Awesome video housil 
BTW I could not tell, did you notice anything in the facility that was intended to protect the occupants from poison gas? I know the place was in use long before the technology of pressurized shelters and other modern NBC protection.

Beside they got special gasmasks with a microphone attached so the could keep talking/making phone calls
they didn´t mention anything gas related.
More impressing to me was, they hadn´t any showers nor water flushed toilets but "night pots" so Churchill spent only three nights down there. The bunker crew had to "crawl" down "The Dock" to rest.

Re: Churchill War Rooms
Very cool photos housil! I'm thinking that anyone with claustrophobia would have had a very hard time but then again the danger of bombs would keep even the most claustrophobic workers at their posts until the rats, insects, and other issues made them say "@#^* it!" and take their chances outside.
