Along the Northern Line at various points, structures like this at street level mark the presence of deep level bomb-shelters, put in position just before the Second World War. Several are used for archive storage now; this one shows no signs of what, if any, its current use is. Other examples can be seen, for instance, at Goodge Street (Image) or Stockwell (Image).
