The property's location can't be bettered, but the view from some of the rooms leaves a bit to be desired.

Buyers seeking a base in one of London's wealthiest neighbourhoods have the chance to purchase an unusual piece of property: a disused London Tube station that housed the city's anti-aircraft defences during World War II.

Brompton Road station, is being sold by the Ministry of Defence, which bought it after it was closed to passengers in the 1930s.

The asking price is about STG20 million ($A34.37 million) - but that buys 2600 square metres of aboveground and underground space.

Simon Hodson of real estate agents Jones Lang LaSalle said that the "prime central London site provides an excellent redevelopment opportunity".
