The Cabinet War Rooms
Step into the hidden underground rooms at the heart of Westminster and uncover a secret chapter of British history. These war rooms and tunnels were where critical strategies were devised to defeat Hitler’s regime during World War II.
The War Rooms became operational on August 27, 1939, just days before the invasion of Poland on September 1 and Britain’s declaration of war on Germany on September 3. Wander through the corridors that sheltered key government figures during this crucial period in history, visit the room where Churchill and his War Cabinet held meetings, and take a step back in time in the Map Room, left untouched since 1945. Explore the Transatlantic Telephone Room, cleverly disguised as a small private bathroom, where Churchill secretly communicated with the President of the United States.
The Churchill Museum
Located within the War Rooms, the Churchill Museum offers an in-depth look at Winston Churchill's life, from his early days at Blenheim Palace to his military career, his two terms as Prime Minister, and much more. This award-winning, interactive museum displays personal items, such as handwritten letters and personal belongings, alongside recordings of Churchill’s famous wartime speeches.
Undercover: Life in Churchill’s Bunker
Explore the experiences of the staff who lived and worked underground for much of the war, playing vital roles in the war effort. Discover historic images, artifacts, and interviews with those who shared close quarters with Churchill, shedding light on their lives in the bunker. See the famous Remington Noiseless typewriters, imported from the U.S. because Churchill was bothered by any noisy distractions.
