A two-bedroom flat in a stunning Art Deco building in London complete with an underground bunker fit for sheltering from the next pandemic has gone on sale for £800,000. 

The small property in Clerkenwell has its own garden and lies within walking distance of Angel Tube station. But the property also boasts a hidden bunker behind a blast-proof underground door that can also be accessed through a private door on the terrace. 

It’s also kitted out with its own ventilation system, meaning the new owner could use it as a gym, home office – or hide out for months during a Martian invasion or zombie apocalypse.

Unique Estates, the agents handling the sale, have called the flat ‘unique’. ‘We are pleased to offer this exceptional and unique two-bed apartment with its own garden and a large underground bunker,’ they added.

‘This property must be seen to fully to appreciate it. 

‘It is in an Art Deco building with high ceilings, bright living space, modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and two double bedrooms.’ 

The flat can be found in a converted building which was once part of the New River Head, formerly the Metropolitan Water Board, in Rosebery Avenue – a key bombing target during World War Two.

Elsewhere, the building has a rose garden and concierge.

But agents said the 78ft x 30ft bunker is the key feature, calling it ‘very spacious and fully refurbished as usable space with its own ventilation system, heating and lighting, possibly good for use as a home office, gym, music room or a safe house.’ 

Neighbouring Finsbury Town Hall also has a bomb shelter, which was built because of the building’s proximity to New River Head – despite objections from the Ministry of Home Security.
