Churchill War Rooms

The Churchill War Rooms is an absolute gem! At first glance, it might seem small, but it’s actually a massive, fascinating museum that is packed with history. The way they’ve preserved and explained the history of the war rooms is done so well—every detail is covered, and it really brings the past to life. The staff were all incredibly friendly and kind, always willing to help and answer questions. A special mention to how they maintain the hygiene of the earphones. Each one is cleaned thoroughly after every use, which I really appreciated. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricier side, but it’s definitely worth the money. Knowing that the funds go toward maintaining the site and supporting the staff makes it feel like a worthwhile investment in preserving such an important piece of history. If you’re a history buff or simply curious about this significant part of British history, I highly recommend visiting!

Interesting insight into how the British war effort was managed, with a museum of Churchill's life included. The audio tour is very good and essential to get a proper understanding of what went on. There is a cafe and the inevitable gift shop with a mix of interesting items and some slightly bizarre offers (Spitfire Christmas tree decorations?). It is quite expensive at £32 per adult, £16 for children for what will take 2 hours if you read all the info boards.

An important place to visit, tells quite a story about Churchill and WWII, but: - Don’t visit HMS Belfast then this, because you’ll be disappointed (the HMS Belfast experience was far much worth the price for me). - The rooms were really dark, it affected my experience (I understand it’s important to recreate the environment as it was during the war, but I think it was overdone). - The emphasis on Churchill’s role is understandable of course, but I felt it was mostly emotional than logical.

Just the right amount of information. The historic spaces are set up well and provide good details on what they represent. The museum is full of interesting artifacts and knowledge. The museum does not come a notice to just explore in a clockwise direction, but I prefer a more organized path although I believe I saw all the exhibits. The Churchill trivia was appropriate difficulty. The kids tour was very good for the museum section as it had scavenger hunt type items so they were engaged in looking through everything to find what they wanted. A note the exit location is slightly different than the entrance.

This is a very cool tour. It's expensive, but it's a piece of real war history right in the centre of London and highly worth the time. One of the most interesting things I saw there was the original number 10 Downing Street oak door that was used from 1735 to 1980s. Fascinating to see the small subterranean rooms and passageways that were the seat of the war cabinet during the blitz. Allow about two hours to explore at a leisurely pace. You are given an audio guide as part of the entrance fee so you can move along and listen to narrations about each part of the tour.
