Life in a Basement Air Raid Shelter, London, England, 1940 Sleeping shelterers line the floor of the basement of a department store, possibly Dickins and Jones, in London's West End in November 1940. Men and women lie on thin mattresses and blankets. Many have suitcases with them and coats and hats have been hung on nails on the walls.
