==Trivia== The Goodge Street shelter appeared in studio mock-up form in the 1968 BBC ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story ''[[The Web of Fear]]''. The surface entrance to the Goodge Street shelter appears as itself in the 1988 feature film ''[[Hidden City (film)|Hidden City]]'', written and directed by [[Stephen Poliakoff]], although interiors were actually shot at Clapham South. The Camden Town shelter was used to represent parts of [[Oval tube station]] in the 1976 two-part story ''The Lights of London'' in the BBC television series ''[[Survivors (1975 TV series)|Survivors]]''. The director of the second episode was [[Pennant Roberts]], who subsequently directed the 1977 ''Doctor Who'' story ''[[The Sun Makers]]'', in which the same shelter was used for scenes set in tunnels under [[Pluto]]. Roberts subsequently worked on the BBC series ''[[Blake's 7]]'', in which the shelter was used for the interior of the titular artificial planet in the 1980 story ''Ultraworld'', although the episode itself was directed by [[Vere Lorrimer]]. The shelter was also used to represent parts of a secret underground facility in the vicinity of [[Down Street tube station]] in the 2005 feature film ''[[Creep (2004 film)|Creep]]''. Reference is a made to a fictional deep-level air-raid shelter at [[Holland Park tube station]] in [[Ben Aaronovitch]]βs novel [[Whispers Under Ground]], third in the [[Peter Grant (book series)|Rivers of London]] series. In the penultimate mission of the video game ''[[Watch Dogs: Legion]]'', the Stockwell deep-level shelter is featured as the hideout of the main antagonist, Zero Day. The Kingsway Telephone Exchange features prominently in the early part of the apocalyptic horror novel ''[[Domain (novel)|Domain]]'' (1984) by British author [[James Herbert]].
