Fancy spending £30,000 on your own bunker? There are companies selling them. Doomsday bunkers in your back garden. They come with air filters, bunk beds, and even wine racks. Because nothing says survival like a Shiraz.
But let’s be real: you probably have a spare bedroom you’re not using. Not a blast-proof hardened shelter. That’s okay. Most of us are in the same boat.
The real question isn’t about a concrete box. It’s about preparedness. Do you have a radio that works on batteries? A first aid kit? A plan to link up with your family?
A little dark humour helps
Finding your nearest bomb shelter in the UK is a bit like finding a decent public loo after 10 PM. Good luck. You might stumble across one, but it’s not a guarantee.
Your best friend in a crisis? Basements. Do you have one? Most UK homes don’t. We love our damp, ground-level living. But if you do have a cellar, you’ve hit the jackpot.
World War Two bomb shelter found under Hampshire garden
And if you’re in a high-rise flat? Move to the middle floor. Away from windows. Under a sturdy table. That’s your shelter now. Romantic, isn’t it?
