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.

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.

This was a very enjoyable tour that kept me captivated all the way throughout. As not much of a measurement goer, I found this to be super digestible with a primary focus on real life perserved artifacts, videos, and photos. I particularly liked the large amount of mixed media usage in order to describe the events and moments as they happened, really giving the patron an emersive experience. The complementary audio was also super informative and easy to use, giving you a great guide as u made your way through the exhibit. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Smooth entry, excellent audio program, wonderfully preserved artifacts, and incredible detail. My one complaint is that being in the last group admitted, we were bombarded with auditory interruptions during our final half hour, so I had to either miss the commentary or repeat it, losing even more time. Why can't you warn people their time is almost up with blinking lights instead? More directional guidance in the Churchill museum portion would have helped speed up the flow as well. Would have been nice to have had a more chronological path to follow.

What an impressive tour. To think of all the personnel that were involved in this massive project during the war and it remained a secret! You can only appreciate it when you go down and see the conditions, the tiny rooms, and the fact that when they all walked away, it was left just as it looked when they walked away. I loved the section that was devoted to the life of Winston Churchill. Take a couple hours of your time and visit this site.

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!

Hidden beneath Westminster sits the underground nerve centre where Churchill and his inner circle directed Britain’s wartime response during the Blitz. Preserved map rooms, narrow corridors, wartime offices, and personal belongings create an eerily frozen world beneath London’s crowded government streets above.

Collect your multilingual audio guide before moving independently through preserved corridors, wartime offices, museum galleries, and underground rooms once used by Britain’s wartime government.

What to expect

Move through underground rooms where wartime maps still hang on walls, telephones remain on desks, and Churchill’s ministers once coordinated military strategy during air raids. Museum galleries reveal Churchill’s life through speeches, personal belongings, letters, photographs, and interactive wartime displays.
