Churchill War Rooms

Very worth a stop. The war rooms were nicely done. They still had maps pinned in their original locations with original pins. Wow! Also, the museum for Churchill was incredible. Very cool to learn more about him and see his personal items like his infamous hat and cigar. Fantastic Cafe as well!

This is a very cool tour. It's expensive, but it's a piece of real war history right in the centre of London and highly worth the time. One of the most interesting things I saw there was the original number 10 Downing Street oak door that was used from 1735 to 1980s. Fascinating to see the small subterranean rooms and passageways that were the seat of the war cabinet during the blitz. Allow about two hours to explore at a leisurely pace. You are given an audio guide as part of the entrance fee so you can move along and listen to narrations about each part of the tour.

Really very interesting. I went with some relatives who had wanted to visit and I didn't really know anything about the place. There are the preserved and restored rooms from the war, and there is also the sizable museum, which contains a lot of interesting artefacts and information, with many interactive exhibits. Canteen is not a rip-off, although it has hardly any gluten-free options. Advance tickets can sell out a few days in advance, although they are non-refundable so if you have to cancel you've lost all your money. We queued on the day and got in in just under an hour. For a good visit allow 2.5–3 hours to see everything and take in the atmosphere. (Somewhat pricey) ticket includes the audio tour, which is very well done, although the audio player is sorely in need of a 'Next' button!
