London Tunnels for Sale
Friday, November 28th, 2008“For sale: a vast tunnel complex in central London. Former tenants include Britain’s secret service, the famous hot line between America and the Soviet Union during the cold war and 400 tons of government documents. The asking price is $7.4 million.”
Apparently, abandoned tunnels below the streets of London can be purchased for a not so small fee. Constructed in 1940, one mile long corridors were built as bomb shelters to protect about 8,000 people. The tunnels aren’t used any longer, but caretakers have been making sure things run swiftly down there.
How cool would it be to possess your very own London Tunnel? The possibilities are limitless. You could have massive parties, build the worlds scariest and largest “Haunted Tunnel” or get lost in a maze of corridors for days on end! You could even scare the ever-loving shit out of someone and reenact your very own American Werewolf in London tunnel scene and watch the blood poor!
They claim using the tunnel for amusement would be difficult. From the surface, there are only 2 elevators that lead down to the tunnel. Also, the oxygen is probably as stale as that recycled air you breathe in an airplane. Regardless, if I had $7.4 mil to toss around, I’d be sure to put in a bid for this piece of history.
