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.

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.
