Churchill War Rooms

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.

One word!!! Go see this! Ok that’s three…Waited all my life and we spent three hours just slowly reading the notes with the displays and watching videos. Just imagining how much stress and success and sweat, blood and tears…. Cannot fathom the significance of what went on in these rooms. Definitely GO and see this. Almost like a right of passage in world history. WW2 pinnacle of the stories. The glue that joined the world in defeating abject evil. We spent three hours there and could’ve easily spent 8. But I’m a serious history buff. Especially Churchill and WE2 anything. Amazing spot. Long lines and it was raining but I didn’t care. Loved this experience. Bought tickets in advance for a time slot of entry but people who showed up without tickets got I ahead of us. Kind of ticked me off. But I am such a Churchill fan I didn’t let that affect my opinion of the content, layout, flow and impression of this museum. Highly recommend going to this. Won’t be disappointed if you are in the slightest interested in this type of history.

Very worth a stop. The war rooms were nicely done. They still had maps pinned in their original locations with original pins. Wow! Also, the museum for Churchill was incredible. Very cool to learn more about him and see his personal items like his infamous hat and cigar. Fantastic Cafe as well!

The basement of the parliament building has been preserved exactly like it was during WWII. If you like military history, you will enjoy this museum. Best to purchase tickets online, or you will have to wait quite a while at the walk-up window.
