Description
This enriching and emotionally stirring experience is led by an expert in this field. Gain an extensive insight into Wartime London, and be humbled by the resilience of its people.
Begin exploring the heart of London’s parliamentary district. This was the brain and nerve centre for British and Allied forces in Europe and abroad. See the Winston Churchill memorial, and learn about his adolescence, personal life and fascinating rise to government. See partially destroyed buildings from the blitz and visit The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the Prime Minister's residence. Next visit The iconic Cenotaph war memorial, special service headquarters and Ghurka memorial.
Part ways with your friendly guide and descend into the subterranean Churchill War Rooms. An underground network of bunkers that functioned as British wartime offices, planning and map rooms. It was here that much of Allied intelligence and strategy was discussed and planned in WWII. As well as a place of refuge and shelter for government during the blitz. A truly incredible experience.
