If you have any interest in militiary history, British history, the Blitz, Churchill, even just the inner workings of government - this is an incredible tour. You have to get tickets in advance, for certain - but it's just such a truly great tour. You walk through Churchill's political life, and the war rooms themselves are deeply fascinating. The museum of his personal items, etc. including the original door to Downing Street is just truly one-of-a-kind.nnWe got the last tour of the day, and it was not enough time. Make sure to schedule yourself plenty of time.
The Churchill War Rooms is a must-see historic site that I’ve been eager to visit for some time. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity during my trip to London in September 2024, but I was fortunate enough to return in March 2025, and this was my top priority. If you’re planning to go, I highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. I didn’t, and despite arriving right at opening time, we still had to wait around 15 minutes. While it wasn’t too bad, it could be more of a wait if it’s a busy time.nnThe staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to answer any questions. Upon entering, you are provided with a headset for a self-guided tour, available in multiple languages. The site itself is underground, and certain areas can feel a bit cramped, so it’s important to be mindful of that. However, the space is well-ventilated and perfectly safe.nnWhat makes the Churchill War Rooms so remarkable is how it preserves history, offering a glimpse into how the British government managed wartime strategy from this very bunker. It’s a fascinating stop, especially for history enthusiasts or anyone wanting to learn more about Britain’s role in World War II. A visit here is a unique experience that brings history to life in an unforgettable way.nnThe Churchill War Rooms also features an excellent café, conveniently located halfway through the tour. It’s the perfect place to take a break and recharge. The food is delicious and fairly priced, offering a variety of options to suit different tastes. Whether you’re in the mood for a light snack or a more substantial meal, the café provides a lovely spot to relax and enjoy a bite before continuing your exploration of this historic site.
Amazing place for history lovers. You can really understand how Churchill’s political life worked and how he managed to get through the wars with a strategic mind. The staff is really nice and the variety of souvenirs you can get is amazing and you should really check it out! If you are around, you should definitely try it out! Thank you for the great experience!
War rooms fascinating with good self guided commentary, map room all well preserved as if time stood still. Museum was good with loads of interesting items and displays but could have been better signposted to allow smoother navigation. Allow 2 to 3 hours for visit and pre book even on weekday, we had allotted time slot between 11.00 and 11.30 and still waited 15 mins for admission. Staff excellent throughout and well versed.
Booked tickets ahead of time. Loved the audio self guided tour. There is a SUBSTANTIAL amount of history to absorb. As a U.S. citizen there is a lot to learn/relearn. If you really want to get it all in allot yourself 3 hours approximately for this tour.
