Big Barda in Blighty: A Totally Unofficial Guide to the Tsar Bomba Tickling London
Let's face it, folks, nobody wants a nuclear bomb for tea, especially not the Tsar Bomba, the Soviet Union's answer to "hold my borscht and watch this." This 50-megaton monster was basically a city-vaporizer, and thankfully, it only saw the light (a blindingly bright light, mind you) of a single test detonation. But hey, what if, in a wacky alternate reality where history took a wrong turn at Albuquerque, the Tsar Bomba decided London was in need of a little "redecorating"? Buckle up, because things are about to get hotter than a vindaloo competition.

| What Would Happen If A Tsar Bomb Hit London |
The Grand Boom: A Fiery Frenzy
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
First off, the explosion itself would be a real humdinger. We're talking a fireball bigger than Ben Nevis, turning everything within a 3-mile radius into a smoldering homage to crispy bacon. Buildings? Gone. Teacups? Melted. Boris Johnson's hair? Well, that might actually be an improvement.
The Shocky Aftershock: It's a Blast (Literally)
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
Next comes the shockwave, a supersonic slap that'll send anything not bolted down flying faster than a pigeon with a pasty. Expect buildings to crumble like stale biscuits, and the Thames to experience a truly epic tidal wave. Basically, it'll be like that scene in Independence Day, but without the plucky Will Smith.
Fallout Friday: Not Your Average Fish and Chips
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
Then there's the radioactive fallout, a lingering party guest nobody wants. This invisible villain will paint the town, or rather, the irradiated wasteland that was once a town, with a healthy dose of "glow-in-the-dark" fun.

But Wait, There's More! (Because Apparently, the Apocalypse Isn't Chaotic Enough)
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
Imagine the traffic! Seriously, with most of the roads vaporized and everyone else too busy glowing like a nuclear nightlight, getting around will be a right royal pain. Public transport? Forget it. The only reliable mode of transportation will be a trusty pair of wellies for wading through the radioactive puddles.
So, You Fancy a Nuclear Night Out? Didn't Think So
The good news? You (probably) won't have to worry about rush hour ever again. The bad news? Well, pretty much everything else. But hey, on the bright side, at least you'll have a fantastic view of the aurora borealis... permanently.
How-To FAQ: Because Why Not?
- How to Survive a Nuclear Blast? Don't. Seriously, this is a Tsar Bomba, not a rogue firework.
- How to Prepare for Nuclear Fallout? Invest in a good hazmat suit and a lifetime supply of baked beans.
- How to Escape London After a Nuclear Blast? Well, you can't exactly hop on the Tube, can you? Maybe try a hot air balloon (if you can find one that hasn't melted).
- How to Tell if You Have Radiation Sickness? If you're glowing brighter than a disco ball, it's a safe bet.
- How to Cheer Yourself Up After a Nuclear Apocalypse? Find a comfy spot in your fallout shelter, crack open a lukewarm can of beans, and reminisce about the good old days when the biggest worry was finding a decent cuppa.
