Don't panic, don't panic...

Not the most obvious picture in the world and it requires quite a leap of imagination but I'm told that this is a air raid shelter from World War II.

It's in the communal gardens of Cholmley Gardens, West Hampstead, and I'm told that there are a whole series of air raid shelters there.

They show themselves as slightly odd barrow-esq shapes in the ground structure with a still visible concrete ridge down the middle.

I can't say I know much more than that but as this week is the anniversary of the start of WWII for Britain I thought I'd try and reflect the theme.
