Mile of London Tunnel for Sale!

A vast tunne complex in central London is up for sale. Yes. They are really selling a tunnel for $7.4 million. How cool is this? It's like a piece of history for sale. If I am filthy rich, I would purchase it because of its history. Sadly, I am not rich, let alone filthy rich.

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.

Appearing more like the set of a James Bond movie than prime real estate, the complex still has a bar and two canteens, not in use, and a billiard room, not to mention functioning water and electricity supplies.

The tunnels were built during World War II as bomb shelters for about 8,000 people and were designed to allow them to survive for five weeks shut off from the outside world.

During the cold war, the British government instructed its telephone department, which later became BT, to set up a secret communications system based on the latest technology that would be able to survive a nuclear attack... In 1963, the hot line established between Moscow and Washington after the Cuban missile crisis ran through the London tunnels. -via the New York Times
