Civilians are Served Refreshments While Sheltering from Bombs in the London Underground, 1940. Britain during the Second World War: civilians sheltering from the London Blitz. 'Below the world's greatest city a host settles to sleep, deep from the fearful night [ie German bombing raids]. Burrows for human beings away from the bombs and a rain of steel from the well-meaning [ie British] guns. Isn't that the tea tray coming round?'. From "Time To Remember - Standing Alone", 1940 (Reel 4); documentary film about events of later months of 1940.
