The Churchill Museum & Cabinet War Rooms are dedicated to the life of the ‘greatest Briton’, Sir Winston Churchill, and the secret underground headquarters that were the nerve centre of Britain’s war effort.

The first London museum of its kind, the Churchill Museum covers all ninety years of Winston Churchill’s life, divided into five chapters: his early year’s as British Prime Minister starting May 1940; his later years; his childhood; his early political career and the period famously known as the ‘Gathering Storm’.

The Churchill Museum uses cutting edge technology and unique media displays to chart the life of Winston Churchill, including a fifteen metre long ‘Lifeline’, which visitors can touch to access a digital ‘filing cabinet’ of Churchill’s life, categorised by time.

The Cabinet War Rooms which now house the Churchill Museum are the very place that Sir Winston Churchill directed the British war efforts of World War II.

Highlights of the Cabinet War Rooms include the Map Room - the hub and planning centre; the Cabinet Room – used for meetings of British decision makers; Churchill’s Room – where he slept when unable to return to No.10 Downing St; and the Transatlantic Telephone Room – where Churchill would converse with the American President and strategise their war efforts.

As fun as it is informative, the Churchill Museum & Cabinet War Rooms is a must of your sightseeing tour of London.
