About Venue

In 2002 the Cabinet War Rooms took over and restored large areas of the Whitehall site. The meeting facilities now include a number of historic period rooms including a 120 seated auditorium - enhanced by discreet, but modern audio-visual facilities and air conditioning. Rooms are available for corporate or private hire, both daytime and evening.

Entertain in a unique and historic setting. The iconic Harmsworth Room incorporates the 1940’s electric generator wall featuring L.E.D’s, switches and dials, creating a stunning backdrop for your event. Steeped in the atmosphere of a wartime bunker, but with all the comforts of a modern venue, it is ideal for smaller conferences, drinks receptions, intimate dinners and lavish banquets.

    VERY interesting! My wife and I were fortunate to have Michael, one of the volunteer guides, offer to give us a short private tour of some of the key display items. He was knowledgeable and obviously passionate about the whole topic. We could have spent all day here, and will definitely plan another visit when we get to London again.

    This IWM site is a must-see for both WWII history buffs and those who are genuinely curious about how the Allies won the war. My husband and I had the honour of taking a "Behind the Glass" tour with an exceptional tour guide, Caroline. She brought us into three of the rooms: the Cabinet Room, the Map Room, and Churchill's bedroom. Within each room, she walked us through the history and significance of the space and those who worked there. She did all of this with an infectious enthusiasm and a delightful sense of humour. She allowed us to spend as much time as we needed in each room and answered all of our questions--we never felt rushed. We impressed by the overall curation of the space and could not have asked for a better tour guide. We highly recommend visiting the museum & taking the private tour if you can. Many thanks to Caroline for giving us a truly one-of-a-kind experience!

    The museum is amazing. You will see what this man did during the war with the full story. You need to spend minimum 2 hours there to understand and to see the how it was at those days. You can take the Audio device in the beginning so you can hear and understand. There is an office to buy a ticket, but you will wait for the queue.
