You read that right: with 60 miles of underground roads, and covering no less than 240 subterranean acres, a secret bunker-city is for sale in the UK. It was once "a munitions dump and a factory for military aircraft engines. It was equipped with what was then the second largest telephone exchange in Britain and a BBC studio from where the prime minister could make broadcasts to what remained of the nation." And I'm not even sure I'm kidding when I say this, but Archinect should totally buy this place - start a collection, send it in... Times. See also Subterranea Britannica.

I'd pitch in a few bucks, even though I already live in a bunker.

Any kids of millionaires out there reading Archinect? Donate! You'll get dibs on the coolest rooms...
If a bunch of vegans can have an island, archinects should have their bunker-city. To be fair.
an underground city of archinectors? brilliant!
we're exactly what the world will need after a nuclear holocaust...

we would just end up arguing over trivial matters and never get around to rebuild civilization
and
the man to woman ratio in this place is scaringly bad for a "repopulate the earth" program!

I'm all for it!
durrr, make that 'uni-sex' screen names, not 'a-sexual'. I hate it when the right word hits, right after I've clicked 'submit'.
