Step back in time at the Churchill War Rooms, the underground nerve centre of Britain’s World War II operations. Hidden beneath the streets of Westminster, the Churchill War Rooms served as the top-secret bunker where Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his government strategised during the Blitz.
This historic site, now part of the Imperial War Museums, remains preserved as it was during the war, offering visitors a glimpse into Britain’s wartime past. With detailed exhibits and personal artefacts, the Churchill War Rooms museum in London provides an unparalleled insight into one of the most significant periods in modern history.
All tickets include access to the Churchill War Rooms and an audio guide to enhance your visit with detailed historical insights. You’ll explore the Cabinet War Rooms and the Churchill Museum, with interactive exhibits and personal artefacts about Winston Churchill’s life and leadership during World War II.
