An estate agent has revealed the best places to buy a house if you want to survive a nuclear attack in the UK - and it doesn't look good for Leicester.

Online agents eMoov used Nukemap to illustrate the fallout zones if 20 British cities were to be hit by nukes.

Leicester would be completely destroyed in its prediction, but nearby Brixworth in Northamptonshire and Skegness in Lincolnshire could be safe havens.

The fallout of bombs across the UK




Brixworth is described as being “nestled between four impact zones” but “with nowhere to go but into radiation your survival rate isn’t very high”.

Skegness provides a slightly safer option, as even though you can't head inland the coast provides some get away.

The tool was used to calculate the effects of 100-megaton strikes on London, Aberdeen,Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow,Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester,Newcastle, Nottingham, Norwich, Oxford, Plymouth, Sheffield, Southampton and Swansea.

Looking at the map if a 100-megaton bomb was dropped directly on Leicester Milton Keynes, Bedford, Chesterfield and Wolverhampton would be the safest close places to be.
