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.

The site is vast. Bigger than you think. Excellent audio tour. The churchill museum half way through is Excellent. I had tears in my eyes when I saw the union jack flag that was draped over his coffin and letters sent to his beloved wife. Back to the bunker for the map room. The phone room used to call American president. The spare key to number ten . All fantastic details. The construction of the war rooms is explained and details can be seen. Well worth a visit.

I leant alot. I did not know about the bunker. Would have like some information about the decoding machine. All aspects on the visit were informative. The kiosks that required the user to fill in the words was very creative. Also, leaninf Churchhill's career was new infimratioin for me. The fact that he and Rosevelt were both heads of their respective Navys must have enhanced their relationship.

  • Descend beneath London streets and explore Churchill’s secret War Rooms, where history was made, and wartime decisions still echo through preserved corridors.

    Getting started

    Meet your host outside the Churchill War Rooms on King Charles Street - look for the VoxCity uniform. Show your printed e-ticket, then scan the QR code to unlock your audio guide before venturing inside.

    What to expect

    Descend into the underground bunker that once buzzed with wartime urgency. This hidden complex was the nerve centre of Britain’s government during World War II, where Churchill and his team mapped strategies, tracked enemy movements, and made decisions that changed history. The preserved corridors and rooms still echo with the weight of those moments.

    Features

    • Cabinet War Rooms: See the very rooms where Churchill and his top advisors planned operations, surrounded by original desks, chairs, and documents that make history tangible.

    • Map Room: Wander through the intelligence hub where daily maps tracked Allied movements, pins marking every advance and retreat, giving you a real sense of wartime strategy.

    • Secret Communication Room: Peek inside the cleverly disguised telephone room, once hidden as a toilet, where confidential calls connected leaders across the globe.

    • Personal stories: Hear the daily lives of those who worked beneath London during the Blitz, their routines, resilience, and the quiet heroism that kept the city functioning.

    Extras

    Upgrade to get the Political London audio guide tour. Go back above ground and follow a digital map to 15 iconic political landmarks, including 10 Downing Street and the Houses of Parliament, with multilingual commentary bringing history and stories to life.
