Life in a Basement Air Raid Shelter, London, England, 1940 Shelterers sleep on mattresses and quilts along the floor of this shelter in the basement of a large West End department store, probably Dickins and Jones, in November 1940. Many have brought small fold-up tables to the shelter and there are rows of coats and hats hanging on nails in the wall.
