A branch of the acclaimed Imperial War Museum, the Churchill War Rooms are set in the secret wartime bunker from which the cigar-puffing Prime Minister of Britain, Winston Churchill, directed the country’s war efforts. Situated beneath street level in London’s Westminster district, the Cabinet War Rooms were constructed shortly before the outbreak of World War II. Little has changed within them since the war came to a close in 1945, though these days, the underground complex functions as a museum, documenting the workings of the United Kingdom’s wartime government.

We learned so much with David!
spent an amazing morning with David our tour guide. Helped us understand more fully WWII London and Churchill, along with alot of other London history. We would do this tour again. The Churchill War rooms are not to be missed.

An overview of history, modern times, and topped off with Churchill War Rooms.
Jeremy did a great job explaining historical Westminster as well as the WWII era and modern times. It helped that Parliament was "shaken up" that day, because it gave us more things to discuss. The Churchill War Rooms were a great insight! Loved it!

Great Tour
We had a fantastic tour with our guide Conor! He knew exactly where we needed to stand to get the best views and was so knowledgeable and funny he made the whole tour a perfect day out. I would highly recommend this tour for both first time London visitors and even those like me, who have been a few times but have never been certain things like the changing of the guards. It is also nice to have the advanced ticket to the Churchill War Rooms as the lines there can be long.

Our guide Sondra Crowley was excellent. Efficient, enthusiastic and insightful- and very mindful of our safety.
