Points of Interest
Stop At: Churchill War Rooms
King Charles Street, Clive Steps, Westminster, London
From central Westminster, your guide takes you underground into the bunker that was home to the headquarters of the British war department. Then together, we will explore the very site where the Allied war effort was managed from. Many of the rooms have been left unchanged, giving us a real insight into working conditions. Your guide will share stories revealing how privileged many of the people working here felt, proud of the essential contribution they were making to the war effort. Hear about revolutionary advances in cryptography and its effect on the war. For those of you interested in Winston Churchill, part of the war rooms are a museum dedicated to this great man. The exhibits tell the story of the charismatic Winston Churchill, prime minister and wartime leader, but also a beloved family man. Did you know that he was also a writer and artist? See the wanted note, offering a £25 reward for turning in a young Churchill, following his escape from prison during the Boer War.
