Where better to take shelter in the event of an apocalypse than a former Cold War bunker? Situated in northwest London, this remarkable piece of real estate offers security, seclusion, and plenty of stunning living spaces. Previously on the market back in 2020 with F.W. GAPP for $13.2 million (£10m), we wouldn't mind holing up here at the end of the world.

The converted residence now encompasses 10,000 square feet of living space, including six luxurious bedroom suites, two kitchens, a sprawling reception room, dining room, study and even a home cinema. There's definitely no shortage of space in this stunning doomsday shelter and it's no wonder – the structure was originally built to shelter up to 50 staff.

Ideal for the super-rich buyer with a parcel or two of empty land lying around, this ultimate disaster shelter can be installed anywhere around the world. Made by Rising S Company, The Aristocrat is their most premium bunker design and it's got everything you need to live in the lap of luxury underground. 

There are 14 separate bedrooms offering a mixture of double beds and twin beds, along with five bathrooms, a laundry room, workshop, tool room and garage. But more than just your standard creature comforts, the complex also has a variety of luxury home features, including a movie theatre room, bowling alley, games room, gun range and even a motor cave for storing the residents' prized car collection.

This converted nuclear bunker, located in the idyllic village of Mistley in Essex, UK, was built in 1951 during the Cold War. Formerly used as a communications hub to protect officials in the event of an attack, the bunker was originally kitted out with military-grade tank steel and reinforced concrete walls. 

With one four-bed apartment and two three-beds, the developers, BuildVantage, have made sure to include some luxury finishes. The floor plans are airy and open-plan, making them the perfect places to ride out a nuclear event in comfort. In this unit, a skylight provides the residents with natural light and a glimpse of the outside world. 

Making sure to keep reinforced doors and walls in the new design, one of the properties also features an original ventilation system housed behind a glass wall. Named the 'secret bunker', the apartments hidden within the Grade II-listed nuclear bunker went up for auction in November 2021 with a guide price of $1.9 million (£1.4m).

Featuring underfloor heating, the apartments come in at a total of 8,500 square feet and boast Italian marble bathrooms complete with sleek showers, tiled floors and unusual black toilets and sinks. 

Originally listed individually, with prices starting at $751,440 (£550,3k) according to the New York Post, the apartments were eventually auctioned off in a single sale on 9 November 2021. 

Billed as 'the largest billionaire bunker in the world', The Oppidum is located in the Czech countryside. Sprawling over 323,000 square feet, the complex consists of an above-ground level with a golf course, helipad and automatic defence technology, and a cavernous underground shelter.

The Czech government teamed up with the Soviets in 1984 at the height of the Cold War to build the super-secure bunker. It can withstand everything from a nuclear attack to a natural disaster, whilst keeping its occupants safe and in the style to which they are accustomed for up for 10 years.

Real estate entrepreneur Jakub Zamrazil acquired the bunker in 2013 and has set about transforming it into one of the world's most luxurious underground shelters. The subterranean complex features a large 6,750-square-foot master apartment, seven 1,720-square-foot suites and plenty of premium facilities and amenities.

There's no roughing it in communal bathrooms here as each apartment within the complex has a swish ensuite bathroom, complete with a whirlpool bath, rainfall shower and double sinks.

There's also a conference and communications room, hospital and dental surgery within the facility. Designed for just one buyer, the bunker is the perfect place for a billionaire to house family, close friends and staff in the event of a major global catastrophe. 

Across the pond, the Survival Condo has refurbished a former Atlas F nuclear missile silo in rural Kansas and converted the 20,000-square-foot space into luxury subterranean condos and communal areas. Hardly affordable, the condos start at $1.5 million (£1.1m) for a 920-square-foot space stretching half a floor and go up to $4.5 million (£3.4m) for a 3,600-square-foot penthouse.

Foodies are well catered to in this prepper complex. All condos feature fully equipped kitchens with Kohler sinks and taps, and high-end stainless steel appliances – ideal for cooking the veg and fish from the on-site hydroponic and aquaculture farms.

A dedicated library will eventually stock thousands of books that residents can read at their leisure. The complex also houses a classroom for children in the bunker and adults who want to further their education.

Dubbed 'the world's ultimate Doomsday escape', Vivos Europa One in Rothenstein, Germany is the brainchild of Vivos CEO Robert Vicino, who has built multiple bunkers across the globe, including Vivos xPoint, which is a more affordable option. 

Like The Oppidum, the $1.1 billion (£835m) Vivos Europa One is a converted former Cold War bunker. Carved out of solid bedrock, the cave-like underground shelter is embedded deep within a limestone mountain and can survive a close-range nuclear explosion, a direct airline crash, severe flooding and earthquakes, as well as biological and chemical attacks.

Invitees can even opt for a massive aquarium in their bedroom space, filled with stunning tropical fish. Each chamber will also feature deluxe ensuite bathrooms and wetrooms, as well as a gourmet kitchen.

Also the design of Robert Vicino, Vivos Indiana is one of the most fortified, nuclear-proof shelters built by Vivos. Cleverly located within a day's drive from anywhere in the Midwest and the eastern coast of America, it has been strategically placed far away from any known nuclear targets and tsunami zones. 

Another room contains high-grade filters that clean incoming air of any nuclear, biological and chemical particles. Places at the bunker start from $35,000 (£26.6k) and members already on board include police, security experts, doctors, electricians and chefs.
