A must visit if you're into history. I spent about two hours in here reading about the amazing things Churchill did during this time and I wasn't even close to done! Great experience!

Give yourself 2 hours for this wonderful find. Look out for the concrete slab to fill space to withstand German bombs. Some rooms are just as they were from 1945

Kate Gomes

I was told this would be fantastic and indeed it was. My favourite museum in a long time. Amazing to walk through the lives experience of WW2 decision makers. Great headset commentary.

Janet Cheung

Check out the Bali bombing memorial right outside of this. Much respect to England for this monument I greatly appreciate it as lost a teacher in it and used to go to the place myself

Maya Abdul-Latif

Really nice and worth it! But allow for plenty of time and finish the war rooms before checking the Churchill museum as the latter can take a lot of time and can’t be easily followed.

Evelyn So

If you visited before 2005, you would be pleasantly surprised by how much the site has expanded, including a very well designed museum . Highly recommend even if you are not a war buff!

Great museum with samples of some of Churchill's great speeches, a view of the inner workings of the govt during the blitz and a good audio guide providing a lot of evocative details

Brendan Elliott

Amazing!! Don’t miss this when in London. Give yourself more time than you tho k as the Churchill Museum is very extensive and interactive.

Dave Marshall

Churchill's life really comes into a new light, as your given an insight into his personality, cabinet speeches and leadership. The tour helps navigate the vast amount of material succinctly must see.

Underground headquarters of Churchill during the second world war. A lot about the full life of Sir Winston Churchill, from his childhood to national funerals.

Danny UK

Well worth the visit here to see just how small the space was for the war cabinet to work in. A great audio tour allows you the freedom to wander at your own pace.

Jose Lopez

This museum is dedicated to Churchill and his leadership during the world war, the entrance it's kinda hidden, since it's a subterranean museum .

Jonathan Steffanoni

Ignore the audio guides, but it’s worth a wander around. An interesting view into the past.

Lisa N

Fantastic museum . Allow at least 1.5 hours to do it justice. Best to book tickets online so you don't have to queue.

Well worth the visit! Give yourself around 2 hours to tour around.

Though Churchill only spent about three nights here, the war rooms are still cool. Spend at least an hour looking through the electronic documents on the computerized table. They tell a lot about him

Jon Shecket

I came out of this place WEEPING like a baby. I have never experienced anything in my life like what the people of Britain and their leaders did during the blitz so I can only imagine.

Kostas

Good experience. Wealth of information regarding Churchill's life. Expensive ticket. 23£ per person.

Simone P.

This underground headquarters was Winston Churchill’s command post during World War Two (even though he used to insist on going on to the roof to watch the bombing raids!).
