The London Times reports that the British Ministry of Defense is looking to sell a 240 acre underground complex once intended as a nuclear war refuge for the British government. It has sixty miles of road and its own pub. The price is a heft 5 million pounds and it isn't open to just anyone. It is available as a part of private finance initiative that includes investing in the military base on the surface.

The concept of underground cities for protection is an old one. Check out Underground Cities of Cappadocia where 36 underground cities in Central Turkey that date back to early Christianity have been recently found - some with as many as eight levels.

Beijing has its own underground city too. The tunnels are reputed to cover some 85 square kilometers. See, http://www.china.org.cn/english/travel/125961.htm
