FEAR SELLS! Ukraine war: Demand for doomsday bunkers in the UK soars »

This being reported by the UK DAILY MAIL..

UK firm Subterranean Spaces said enquiries surged at the weekend ‘100 per cent’ from February 2021, when the prospect of full-scale conflict in Europe still seemed remote.

Founder Charles Hardman said that on Thursday and Friday – the first two days of Russia’s lawless invasion of Ukraine – the company got 12 enquiries from families of three, families of four and one family of eight in London, Wales and even the French Alps.


Bespoke shelters built by Hardman’s Subterranean Spaces, founded in 2018, cost at least £100,000, and multi-purpose bunkers containing videogame simulators, kitchens, and air filtration systems for a family of six can cost as much as £900,000.

Hardman advised it takes around four months to plan and build, adding that the shelters should be set up in a garden and not under a house. ‘What’s the point of surviving a nuclear blast if the house collapses on top of the bunker and you can’t get out?’, he mused.

And it appears that red tape doesn’t disappear, even in the event of a Third World War. ‘Of course, we also have to handle planning and need to get permission to build bunkers. Red tape won’t just go away’, Hardman went on.

The bunker boss added that Russian aggression since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, combined with the possibility of biological, chemical and cyber attacks by terrorist organisations or hostile state actors, had made getting a bunker ‘quite prudent’.

Love Property also reported that page views on the site’s bunker content has jumped by 259 per cent since February 23, ‘which is almost definitely due to the war in Ukraine’, a representative for the website told MailOnline.
