Churchill Museum and War Rooms Guided Tour

Overview

The Churchill War Rooms are more than a collection of historic rooms — they are the place where some of the most consequential decisions of the Second World War were made. Led by a professional historian, this 2.5-hour tour brings the underground headquarters to life through the people who worked here: from Churchill and his commanders to the typists, telephonists, secretaries and map officers who kept Britain's wartime government running. Explore the Cabinet Room, Map Room and Churchill's personal quarters while discovering the arguments, personalities and pressures behind the decisions made here. We'll examine Churchill's remarkable rise to Prime Minister, how Britain coordinated a global war from beneath the streets of London, and the realities behind the familiar story of Britain's “finest hour.” With a small group, there's plenty of opportunity to ask questions and explore the complexities of Churchill, his government and the war they were fighting.
