For sale: Britain’s underground city - Sunday Times - Times Online:

WELCOME to Cold War City (population: 4). It covers 240 acres and has 60 miles of roads and its own railway station. It even includes a pub called the Rose and Crown.
The most underpopulated town in Britain is being put on the market. But there will be no estate agent?s blurb extolling the marvellous views of the town for sale: true, it has a Wiltshire address, but it is 120ft underground.

Woot! Okay, let’s get a consortium together, folks; given the world political climate and the fact that I like my peace and quiet, this could be the ideal enclave for anyone who’s had enough of the world. I will be king of the mole-people…join me!
