In case Britain had been assaulted with a nuclear bomb during the Cold War, their authorities would have survived by simply retreating into an enormous, 35-acre complex hidden under the county of Wiltshire. Called Burlington, it could house 4000 people and also feed all of them for three months. Additionally, it has a broadcasting studio as well as the hospital. Everything has been kept secret up to its decommissioning in 2004. You may take a tour in the BBC news video down the page, and also browse the photo galleries over the BBC's Burlington site.
