The Blitz Aldwych Underground Station Backdrop – WW2 London Role Play & History Display | Heavy Weight Vinyl
Take your class back to 1941 during The Blitz with this fascinating historical backdrop depicting Aldwych Underground Station in the City of Westminster, near Covent Garden. An engaging resource for role play and classroom activities, it helps children explore what life was like for Londoners during the Second World War.
During The Blitz, hundreds of Londoners sought refuge from air raids in London's Underground stations. Aldwych Station is particularly interesting as the station is now closed but remains a Grade II listed building due to its historical significance. Disused areas of the station and its tunnels were also used during both World Wars to protect artworks from London's galleries and museums from bomb damage.
