Short Description
  • Explore the World War II history of London’s Westminster district and discover the secret bunker that Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his government used during the German bombing campaigns.
  • Home to undercover and often underground bases for governments in exile, Westminster suffered especially badly during the blitz and was awash with espionage.
  • Your unique tour starts with a walk around some of London’s most historic sites, such as 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Abbey. End at the Cenotaph, built as a memorial to the First World War and now the UK’s primary national war memorial.
  • Along the way, see the statue of Sir Winston Churchill and the monument to the Women of World War II, hear about governments and monarchs that were forced into exile in London as Germany overtook the nations of Europe and more.
  • Then, it’s time to head to the wartime bunker of the Churchill War Rooms. Tour the Churchill Museum and learn about the maze of underground rooms that were used to plot and plan war strategies.
  • Although your guide will not accompany you inside, you'll be able to browse the War Rooms at your leisure and hear fascinating facts from your audio guide as you wander round.
  • Experience what life was like for those that worked in the dark rooms and how they deciphered enemy communications and created maps of the army’s movements.
  • Learn about the primitive sun lamps that were used to get sufficient levels of vitamin D and how even the families of those that worked there couldn't know what they did for a living.
  • Explore the legacy of Sir Winston Churchill and hear authentic audio of his inspiring wartime speeches. Discover fascinating stories about Churchill’s private and public life, from his love of his wife to his special relationship with President Roosevelt.
  • You’ll even see the original door to 10 Downing Street that he walked through after becoming prime minister.
  • The war rooms have been preserved exactly as they were on the day the lights were switched off in 1945, with signs that indicated the weather outside.
  • As you venture deeper into the labyrinth, discover how life continued underground, from top-secret conversations between Churchill and Roosevelt in the Transatlantic Telephone Room, to simple domestic concerns in Churchill’s kitchen.
  • Discover Westminster’s Second World War sights with an expert guide and visit the fascinating Churchill War Rooms -- an underground network of bunkers that served as the government wartime offices. The 90-minutes walking tour includes little-known war tales and tidbits of London history as well as facts about the much-loved maverick leader Sir Winston Churchill.
