Peartree House London South East Group War Headquarters Bunker, London 2021

[Riskybex]

Pear Tree House is one of South London’s best kept secrets.

A block of council flats in Lambeth’s enormous Central Hill Estate. It has 8 two-bedroom flats and the former control centre for South East London in the basement. In the early 1960’s the Metropolitan Borough of Lambeth was grouped with the neighbouring boroughs of Southwark and Camberwell to make up civil defence region 53a.

There was (might still be) something similar in the basement of County Hall, Hertford. I was involved with 'Raynet' about 35/40 years ago and got to visit it, amongst other things there were several 'sound deadening' booths with Creed teleprinters in them (if you have ever heard a Creed at full chat you will understand why the booths )
