Explore the Churchill War Rooms where Winston Churchill and his team led the war during World War II.

This tour takes place underground in the secret lair and wartime bunker of Sir Winston Churchill. I will describe how it would have felt working and living underground during the tense days and nights of WW II and the Blitz. Unchanged since 1945, history has been frozen in time in the hallowed halls of the Churchill War Rooms waiting for you to experience.

Constructed in 1938, Churchill’s underground bunker in the heart of central London is a must-visit for anyone with an interest in World War II.

Duration: 1.5 - 2 hours

Discover Churchill’s personal life, including his controversial early political career and how his parents' influence changed the man he became.
Peek into ‘The Dock’ where teams stayed overnight during air raids.
