WWII Westminster Walking Tour & Churchill War Rooms

Meet your tour at the meeting point, 15 minutes before the scheduled time. The explorative walking tour of Westminster starts with a walk around the city’s most historically significant sites like 10 Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. The last stop is the intriguing Cenotaph, originally a memorial for the First World War and now the UK’s main war memorial. You can also stop and click pictures with the statues of Sir Winston Churchill and that of the women of WWII.

The Westminster district bore the worst brunt of the WW2 bombings and for good reason. It was home to major undercover activity by the government in exile, overseas forces, spies and counterspies. Westminster was also home to the wartime bunker of Churchill and his government during the blitz of London.

The tour includes a visit to the Churchill War Rooms, where you can enjoy an audio-guided tour of the nerve centre of Churchill’s war efforts. Explore the underground labyrinth independently, listen to audio recordings of Churchill’s inspiring war time speeches and get a glimpse into his special relationship with Roosevelt.

Learn about how life continued underground, know about the frenzied wartime activities and top-secret conversations between Churchill and Roosevelt in the Transatlantic Telephone Room. Tour the Churchill Museum and learn about the maze of underground rooms that were used to plot and plan war strategies.

Stay as long as you like before making your way out at your own time.
