Full description

It’s time to go back to the 1940s. Big Ben no longer sounds. Air raid sirens are the norm. German bombing raids come under cover of darkness. The population lives with rations and restrictions. Many Brits lay down their lives in Europe and beyond.

With your local expert guide, you will keep calm and carry on, learning about the British resolve and getting the inside scoop on the truth behind Westminster in wartime on this walking tour past important monuments like the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Cenotaph, Ministry of War, 10 Downing Street and Whitehall.

After your Westminster small group experience, bid your new-found friend and guide a fond farewell to descend into the War Rooms. At your own pace, discover the miles of strategic bunkers where Winston Churchill and his cabinet were to conduct their part in WW2. This unforgettable location is frozen in time and ready to be discovered once again.

Our guide, Nathan was extremely knowledgeable and was a fascinating guide. His knowledge of World War II was impressive and his respect for all who served was remarkable. We highly recommend this tour and this guide. The Churchill War Rooms was a self-guided audio tour which was fascinating but at times became very crowded, making it difficult to see the exhibits carefully. All in all a great tour.
