Description
Discover Westminster’s significant World War II history, focusing on the secret bunker where Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his government operated during the Blitz. Westminster was a key location for governments in exile and intelligence operations.
Your tour begins with a walk around historic sites such as 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and the Cenotaph, the UK’s primary national war memorial. Along the route, see the statue of Churchill and the Women of World War II monument, while learning about the governments displaced by Nazi occupation.
After the walking portion, visit the Churchill War Rooms, the underground complex preserved as it was in 1945. Although the guide does not enter with you, an audio guide provides detailed commentary as you explore the rooms independently.
Experience how staff worked in the dark, deciphered enemy communications, and used primitive sun lamps for vitamin D. Learn about the secrecy surrounding their work, which even their families did not fully understand.
Explore Churchill’s legacy through authentic audio of his speeches, stories of his personal life, and his close connection with Roosevelt. See the original door of 10 Downing Street that he entered as prime minister.
