Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks who is now under arrest in London, chose to work in an office which resembles a 007 film set.

Called the Pionen data centre, it sits 30m below the streets of Stockholm, Sweden, in a former Cold War nuclear bunker. It acts as the back-up store for the thousands of confidential e-mails and documents that have shaken the world.
