The real big problem would be the flooding in the underground. If anyone was still in it, they would be drowned and it would take months, if not years to fix the damage from the water.

As for the Channel condensing wave, this would happen between Brest and Cornwall, between Cherbourg and Weymouth and Calais and Dover, however, a lot of the energy would not be coming in the direction of the region anyway.

I could not say how far inland the wave would go once it got through the channel, if you were on low flat ground you are going to have more problems than if not. The broads, the fens and the like would all be flooded.

That's rather interesting, thanks. I do worry about general destruction from the sea... I kind of enjoy worrying about it oddly, but I worry never the less.
I can get splashes in the sea with my catapult from my doorstep, so I'm pretty close to sea level. However I am also at the foot of a rather large hill, with both road and bridal way access (for motorbike/moutain bike). It's about 3 minutes from my house to the top by motorbike at safe speeds. It's about 20 minutes on foot (it's hard to run fast up a hill that steep. So as long as I had OK warning we hopefully won't be drowned. But will it be a case of carpet ruined or house knocked down by a tumbling warship?
It would be a nice view of the destruction form the hill anyway...
