Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms

The Cabinet War Rooms are fascinating; learn what Winston Churchill's secretary thought about taking dictation from him, and imagine a time when the leaders of Britain expected invasion any day.

The Churchill Museum is excellent - not organized chronologically but in a much better fashion. We (parents and teenaged son) spent 2 1/2 hours there and could have spent much more.

For anyone except small children, this should be a valuable and interesting experience.

This was great. A little pricey on the American Dollar, but well worth it. It was truly like travelling back in time. Much of the place is kept similar to what it was like in the 1940s -- complete with the Trans-Atlantic Phone, Churchill's Room, his kitchen, and the war rooms. Afterwards, there is a pretty extensive Churchill Museum detailing his life. The place is a very good size, and when we went they gave a student discount. It wasn't too crowded, as we went in the morning.

I'm not a ww2 survivor or contemporary of that war, nor a Churchill buff, nor a spelunker. But this was a highlight of our trip last year, and we'll go back this year. This museum brings history to life and is an intimate, fascinating look at an individual who changed the twentieth century. just go, take your time, and soak up the well-presented material--then get every child or teen you know to go with you and learn about the war that set the stage for the political-economic system we live in today.
