Step into the world of Wartime London in the late 1930s and 1940s, and hear about the stories of larger-than-life Winston Churchill, explore the underground bunkers that British wartime officers used during that time known as the Churchill War Rooms, and learn about the resilience of Londoners during that time.

Begin exploring the heart of London’s parliamentary district. This was the brain and nerve center for British and Allied forces in Europe and abroad. See the Winston Churchill memorial, and learn about his adolescence, personal life, and fascinating rise to government.
The guide will take guests to see the partially destroyed buildings from the blitz and visit The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and the Prime Minister's residence. Next visit the iconic Cenotaph war memorial, special service headquarters, and Ghurka memorial.
After the walking tour, dive into the Churchill War Rooms, an underground network of bunkers that functioned as British wartime offices, planning, and map rooms. It was here that much of Allied intelligence and strategy was discussed and planned in WWII, as well as serving as a place of refuge and shelter for the government during the blitz. The Cabinet War Rooms, which centerpiece is the fascinating Map Room, detailing the strategic and tactical exploits of the war. This is where Churchill held no less than 115 cabinet meetings, hammering out the details of Allied offensives across Europe.
The Churchill Museum unpacks the life and works of the man himself, from his early childhood to his state funeral. Particularly interesting is the large collection of passionately devoted letters he wrote to his wife Clementine, exposing the softer side of this famously statesman. The tour finishes in the War Rooms. Guests are free to continue exploring at their own leisure.
