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

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

You can go here on the Visit London 2 for 1 deal on National Rail, which makes it a bit cheaper. Well, half price really :-) Very interesting exhibitions, and my mum liked the cafe because we got real china teapots. More

In a few small rooms beneath London Sir Winston Churchill and his staff made history. Remarkable and awe inspiring. More

I have been twice, once with husband and then with daughter. Fascinating to see the conditions in which we waged war, health and safety would have a lot to say if they had existed then. A vital visit for all children, to know about their recent history, take grandpa if you have one to help with the explanations. More
