I agree with the coal grill, I don’t want to want rely on anything store bought. That makes complete sense, even the bathtub bob wouldn’t be a waste because the bigger picture is bugging in and like you said that’s insurance. Extra insurance at that point...

Can't use a charcoal grill inside, where are you going to get the charcoal if you're not relying on the store, making your own? also, the charcoal needs to stay dry ;) Another point, if you are around a lot of people you may not want to cook outside, being discrete is the order of the day in an SHTF, plus, once you start the charcoal, they don't just turn it off.

I wouldn’t use coal I would use natural items to burn twigs etc... I would cook in the laundry room because it has 2 exhaust fans for some reason.

To be on the safe side, get a battery powered exhaust fan and a very small discrete solar panel to charge the batteries for your fan. If you are going to be cooking in the laundry room, there is a good chance you will not have electricity. I keep my coal for local power outage emergencies and will use twigs for long term grid down situation. I also store the coal a plastic garbage bag, in a steel garbage can. Word of caution: DO NOT try to heat a house with a charcoal grill, just too darn risky.
 
Do not forget to brush up upon locksmith and security system skills. As the saying goes... "He who holds the key can unlock my local grocery stores."

Leisure pools.
I played around with your suggestion because I loved the efficiency in it. Try to find one with a carpark, change all of the locks and barricade all access to the actual building. You may want to design a way to do this to carpark itself.

I am planning a different approach to prepping. I live in London. All of the firearms will belong to the bad guys if martial law were to be declared. They may not be illegal anymore after declaring martial law. Will criminals become pirates and plunder all of the provisions? London being very urban is like a treasure trove of essential goods.

This has been brought up many times but I can’t resist once more. If you are in a large city and the shit starts flying, get out. Start looking and planning now because just getting in a car and heading out without a pre thought out plan just makes you a refugee. Sure, some in a city may make it through a disaster but the odds are really bad. I like to increase the odds of me surviving in my favor. And it’s not just about surviving, but doing so without great hardship.
 
make a big enough root cellar that will do as a bunker too,combine these two if you make one?
I most certainly will.

Has anyone here ever seen an animated film called Where the wind blows?;

When the Wind Blows is a 1986 British animated disaster film directed by Jimmy Murakami based on Raymond Briggs' comic book of the same name. The film stars the voices of John Mills and Peggy Ashcroft as the two main characters and was scored by Roger Waters.

What exactly distinguishes a bunker from all other buildings? I know that lead is important for radioactive protection. They use lead paint in this film as an alternative to lead sheeting. Will it work? Will cellar really do the job?
 
Look at Chernobyl, I think that will be radioactive for centuries but some people live there, not many but some, what their life expectancy is I don't know, some animals have moved back too.
its not radioactivity i'm so worried about, if i'm not in the target area I should be okay, its the fallout/nuclear winter where nothing will grow that's the real problem.
