Paddock (war rooms)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paddock is the codeword for an alternate Cabinet War Room bunker for Winston Churchill's World War II government. Located in Dollis Hill, North London, it was constructed in 1939 but only rarely used during the war, with only two meetings of the War Cabinet being held there. It was abandoned in 1944.
Paddock has had various, intermittent uses since (including a brief period where one room was used as a Post Office social club) but otherwise as of 2007, the site remains largely as it was when it was decommissioned at the end of World War Two.
