Civil defence centres in London

During the Cold War every London Borough was obliged to have a Civil Defence centre. These were controversial structures as it was widely believed that planning for the aftermath of nuclear war was both expensive and pointless.

London was called Region 5 and had its Regional Seat of Government in a re-used Radar Station at Kelvedon Hatch in Essex. Below this level it was split into 5 groups - North, North East, North West, South East and South West. Each group had a control centre. Below this each borough had one as well.
