From Ancient Mine to Premier London Venue
Chislehurst Caves is not a purpose-built venue; it’s a genuine piece of history. These man-made tunnels were originally dug for chalk and flint over centuries. They have served as an ammunition depot during the First World War and as one of London’s largest underground air-raid shelters in the Second World War, protecting over 15,000 people.
This incredible heritage adds a layer of depth and intrigue to any event held here. Guests can explore a small part of the vast network and feel connected to a past that stretches back hundreds of years. You aren’t just hiring a room; you are hiring a story.
