I thought LU announced (last year??) that these spaces were to be hired out for storage. It was in all the papers. The shelters along the Clapham stretch of the Northern line were planned so that after the war, they could be all joined up into a continuous tunnel and double the Northern line's capacity. Because even before the war, the Northern line was overcrowded! Sixty years on, and not much has come of that. Fantastic set.
