Churchill War Rooms

About this place

Offering a glimpse of a city under siege, these underground chambers illustrate British efforts to thwart German bombs and hostilities during WW-II. They're where Prime Minister Winston Churchill led the government, coordinated communications and held out against Nazi aggressions. The rooms are laid out much as they were when the war ended, complete with furniture, maps and technology. Churchill lived here at times and a portion of the museum is devoted to his life and leadership. It is a fascinating look back at one of Britain's greatest men and a person who was admired all across Europe and the world for his stoicness a great British trait if ever there was one.
