Underground town in England impervious to flying bombs

An underground town in southern England impervious to flying bombs. A town somewhere in southern England (not named by the Illustrated London News, but quite possibly the Chislehurst Caves) where nature provided safe shelters for the residents - deep caves in which they sleep soundly, oblivious to the flying bombs. Life in the caves in watched over by shelter wardens, who see to the people's comfort and settle their difficulties. Many amenities have been provided, and the cave-dwellers have organised their own social life underground which includes whist drives, concerts and Divine Service
