Visiting Churchill’s war room is a truly memorable experience. The events that unfolded behind the walls of this bunker—and the decisions made by his staff and by Churchill himself—were decisive for the course of World War II. For me, as a military historian, it has always been fascinating to visit the place where the fate of entire nations was decided. Despite the captivating atmosphere of the office and the fact that all personal belongings, maps, and rooms have been preserved exactly as they were over the years—it’s amazing. I was struck by the fact that the microphones, which were placed somewhere near the iron beams supporting the shelter’s ceiling, created the sounds of whistling and the roar of bomber engines, and this, in turn, immerses a person with a thirst for knowledge in the day of one of the Luftwaffe’s largest raids on the British Isles. You’re not just a visitor or someone with extra money to see something unusual—you’re a participant, a participant in the events, and your work is here now, alongside Churchill, who is somewhere in another room or in his “private bathroom” negotiating with President Roosevelt. You’re here, and it matters. You feel like a maker of history. I thank the entire magnificent IWM team and the sponsors who went to great lengths to keep the office in excellent condition and maintain the comfort that existed during those dark times. For me, it is an honor and a source of pride to be there and see this beauty with my own eyes.

I visited the Churchill War Rooms in London on May 25,2026, and it was one of the most memorable historical experiences I have ever had. Walking through the underground bunker where Winston Churchill and his team directed Britain’s war strategy during World War II felt incredibly powerful and emotional. The preserved Map Room, covered with original wartime maps and pin marks, made history feel real rather than distant. I was especially fascinated by Churchill’s office-bedroom and the secret telephone room used for secure conversations with President Roosevelt. What impressed me most was how authentic everything felt — the narrow corridors, the old communication equipment, and even the small personal details left behind by the staff created a vivid atmosphere of tension, determination, and resilience. The museum section about Churchill’s life was also beautifully designed and deeply informative. It gave me a much greater appreciation for the leadership and sacrifices made during such a difficult period in history. I would highly recommend the Churchill War Rooms to anyone visiting London, especially those interested in history and leadership.

25 years of marriage meets 1,000 years of history Visiting Westminster Abbey after 25 years was a profoundly moving experience. On our first visit, my wife and I were just starting our journey together as newlyweds. Returning now with our grown children to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary felt like a beautiful tribute to our own history, set against the backdrop of over a millennium of English heritage. Standing in a place that has witnessed over 1,000 years of coronations, weddings, and history is truly humbling. Our children were fascinated by the layers of time preserved within these walls. It was the perfect place to reflect on the passing of time and the enduring strength of vows. Just as it did a quarter-century ago, the Abbey left us in absolute awe. A deeply spiritual and historic highlight of our family trip to London. Jacek from Poland

The atmosphere of the past, with rooms preserved exactly as they were during those turbulent days of the Battle of Britain, underscores the uniqueness and extraordinary nature of the War Room as the place where some of the most critical decisions of World War II were made. The feeling that you are walking the same corridors and rooms alongside Churchill and the members of his cabinet. It is a unique experience that I am proud of. My long-held dream of visiting Churchill’s War Room has come true. The Churchill Museum deserves special attention, featuring various antiques from Churchill’s personal collection, his clothing, habits, favorite pastimes, draft speeches, and copies of agreements. And the opportunity to read the letters the Prime Minister wrote throughout his life is incredible. Thank you, IWM, for preserving such a historical legacy.

No trouble getting into St. Paul’s Cathedral—an impressive church where the organ was even playing. The climb up to the dome was indeed exhausting, even though I’m in good shape. The steps, which are very flat at first, continue all the way to the top as a continuous spiral staircase. It makes you dizzy. The view, however, is worth it! Unfortunately, even with a ticket, there was no way to avoid the line at the entrance to Westminster Abbey. The Abbey was packed with people, and you’re guided through the crowd. A church that struck me as strange, yet impressive, if only because of its significance. A must-see.

A beautiful Abbey with excellent service; even when the Head Out tickets turned out to be vouchers, the cashier didn’t make a fuss and exchanged them for tickets. The multimedia presentation was very informative, as it clearly explained the family tree of all the kings and queens and how it relates to the statues and sights inside the Abbey.

Stand beneath Westminster Abbey’s towering Gothic ceilings while visiting Poets’ Corner, royal chapels, and the historic Coronation Chair used by British monarchs.

Walk into Churchill’s preserved underground bunker filled with wartime maps, narrow corridors, strategy rooms, and multilingual audio commentary throughout the visit.

Pair Westminster Abbey’s royal coronation history with Churchill’s underground wartime headquarters for a deeper understanding of Britain’s political and historical legacy.

Westminster Abbey—what a beautiful building, both inside and out. It’s very impressive to see everything there is to see. You can follow along with the audio guide via headphones, though it can be a bit confusing at times. Photography is permitted.

Tickets and the payment optionswere user-friendly. The spaced out Entry times allowed for a reasonable amount of people in the war rooms and the museum. There is a great deal to see and a bit difficult to navigate because of all the exhibits and the zigzag nature of the labyrinth. In the Churchill Museum part, it would have been more instructive if the exhibits had gone in chronological order. I felt myself bounced around in Churchill's life. One of the most instructive exhibits was the multimedia table which took the visitor from Churchill's early life through to his resignation as Prime Minister in 1955. One thing I found really delightful was the timeline recordingof his famous quotes spanning decades, heard in his own voice. I sat on the one little stool right in front of that exhibit for about 15 minutes in listen to his wonderful way with words and priceless sense of humor. I think there should be a much larger bench so that several people could sit down and just spend the time focusing on the recordings of a great orator. Overall, very informative. There does, however, need to be far better signage to the exit, particularly to the single lift. We had difficulty finding that lift. I would recommend the Churchill war rooms to anyone interested in British history!
