Hatfield Bunker sits beneath what is now Hatfield Police Station, on the former site of the de Havilland Aircraft Company. A single staircase near a marble entrance leads down to four preserved rooms — the Air Raid Shelter, the Art Deco Room, the War Room and the Police Room — once used as a shelter for senior managers during the war, including Geoffrey de Havilland himself. It's designed mainly for school groups, telling the story of wartime aircraft manufacture alongside today's police work, all set within a Listed 1930s Art Deco building. If you're exploring Hertfordshire's museums and galleries, Hatfield station is just 0.9 miles away, and there are 14 bookable places to stay within 5 miles for a longer visit.
