Hidden WWII Gun Emplacement in Chadwell Heath | Forgotten Defences of London

Hidden away in Chadwell Heath lies a forgotten piece of World War Two history a wartime gun emplacement built to defend London during the threat of invasion. Captured by drone, this footage reveals a structure that once played a role in Britain’s air and ground defences, now largely hidden from view and fenced off from the public. During WWII, locations like this formed part of a network of defensive positions designed to protect key routes, communities, and the capital itself. Today, the gun emplacement stands as a silent reminder of the fear, urgency, and resilience of wartime Britain. While nature and time have reclaimed much of it, the site still tells an important story about local history and the people who lived through the war. This video explores the location from above, highlighting its structure, setting, and historical significance a piece of history many people pass without ever knowing it exists.
