Here’s where to move to avoid nuclear blasts in Britain (as the Doomsday Clock ticks)

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists this week moved the symbolic Doomsday Clock to two minutes to midnight – the closest the world has ever stood to nuclear apocalypse.

But with nuclear tensions rising, is there any way to avoid being vapourised as missiles streak across the globe, bringing death to whole cities?

Yes there is – move to Margate!

British estate agent Emoov last year created a map showing places which are unlikely to be caught up in any large scale nuclear conflict.

Skegness, Weymouth and Margate are all good options, Emoov says – with hydrogen bombs on London ruling out most of the commuter belt.

Russell Quirk, CEO of Emoov, said: “Luckily, we’re out of range from any North Korean missiles, but if the world was to descend into nuclear madness the fall out would mean house prices would probably become irrelevant.

‘That said, with buyer demand already at explosive levels compared to the ground zero stock levels available, a nuclear war could see these more affordable areas grow in value as demand for a house still standing outside of an impact zone increases.’
