Up until now, secret underground lairs have been the preserve of Batman, Blofeld, and Bond (in Skyfall). Ex-property-mogul John Hunt is setting out to change that, though, by leading the charge for a rush of new TOTALLY AWESOME Batcave-esque basements being built under the roads of London.
Take a look at this picture – it’s got a bowling alley, swimming pool, vintage car museum… even a freaking underground climbing wall! I mean, yeah, it’s a flagrant waste of dough, but if you’ve got that kind of cash to burn, why wouldn’t you? It gets the best of both worlds: the grandiose old-school charm of a Kensington mansion, with the floor space and total wow-factor of a supervillain-style underground lair. Vilify him all you want, but be honest, who wouldn’t want to live there? [Guardian]

This underground layer is incomparable to the Bat Cave. It’s far from it.
Can I ask what the point of having the big Batman symbol on the floor is? If it’s meant to be a secret lair, who’s going to see it. Also who installed all this stuff in the cave? It’s not something anyone could do single handed.
It looks cool. And in case you ever forget who you are.
So Robin doesn’t bring back ladies saying
“Come check out my Robin Cave!”
Who else read the title as Foxcon?
Not me! I hate Foxton’s and everything it stands for, and I’ve made an effort not to use their services whenever I was looking for a flat in London. This is just a vomit icing on the cake of shit that company is – at least it would be if he was actually allowed to build it (which seems unlikely)
I’ve met My Hunt at his stately home in Suffolk. He has a WONDERFFUL collection of Ferraris. Why *wouldn’t* he want a batcave?!
