At the end of a drive running north alongside Marks and Spencer car park from Underhill Street, NW1. The surface 'pillbox' is faced with brick and is almost circular but has one flat side. It has a square brick ventilation intake shaft on the roof with two lower brick extensions, at right angles to each other. These overlap the circular structure coming down to ground level. They originally housed the doors. There is a brick extension on the east side which now forms the main entrance. There is a modern sign on the wall that says 'Loading bay'. There is an open shaft a few yards to the north surrounded by corrugated iron and a metal beam for taking a pulley to lower large or heavy items into the tunnels. There is a door with a sign saying 'Danger deep shaft'. All the brickwork is unpainted.
