    It's an odd curiosity
    But the article headline is some serious clickbait
    From the headline I was expecting like...a serial killer dungeon
    Not a bunch of sockets

    Bizarre

    Surely that would break some kind of building code. If you had all those plugged in drawing maximum amps, bit of a fire risk

    It all depends if the sockets are on different circuits and not just the one. I am guessing that the property may have multiple consumer units ( distribution units) to accommodate all of these.

    My first impression, looking at the location or all the boxes on opposite walls, was that they were film buffs and wanted to be able to control everything including surround sound and films incoming via the internet, cable and areal, all from the comfort of their settee, without having more cables running across the floor than a film studio.
    They probably wanted to do the same thing when they were watching films in bed.
    The sockets around the windows would have been to open and close the curtains as the film started.
    I have seen similar installations in the past in film directors homes.

    One of them had a dubbing theater in the basement of his house that the previous owners had dug out to build a swimming pool.
    One day the house was surrounded by armed police, after the guy reading the electricity meters thought that he was about to launch a nuclear missile.
    He ended up in court for commercial use of a domestic premises, but since he was only dubbing his own films, the case was thrown out. I assume that he forgot to tell them that his home movies were being made for BBC television. LOL.

    Maybe he had a lot of instruments and speaker equipment and computer gear to record on.

    Doesn't seem very Green to me … Unless/perhaps, it is situated under a solar powered panelled roof with a wind turbine on top of it neat to the sea where there is a tidal power facility that assists???
