Loved the narratives, movies and the rooms where Churchill commanded the war. Although we are Churchill buffs, we learned a great deal from this exhibit. More

Great museum showcasing the real 'bunker' Churchill used during most of the war to plan strategy and communicate with foreign allies and the British people.

I found the Churchill War Rooms very interesting even though I am not a history buff. I used a 2-for-1 admission coupon from taking the train into London. Included with your admission you receive and audio tour guide so you are able to go at your own pace. Also included in the admission to War Rooms is the Churchill Museum.... More

It is probably over 20 years since I last visited what used to be called the Cabinet War Rooms. I was keen for my kids to see how Churchill ran the country and war from this cramped underground warren of rooms. It was as interesting as I remembered but the addition of the Churchill Museum as part of the experience... More

I did not think that this museum would appeal to me, but it grabbed my interest as soon as I walked in and held it for 3 hours. What a great tribute to a great man! More

The war rooms gave you a good idea of what the English people endured during WWII. Small, cramped rooms without sunlight for sometimes weeks at time. Such sacrifices -amazing. More

It preserves very well the look and feel of England during the battle of britain. You can see the war room (there's no fighting in the war room), Churchills quarters, comm room... It's a time capsule into 1942! More
