   No 10 Downing Street vies with the White House as one of the most important buildings in the world. Churchill and his wife moved into No. 10 Downing Street in June 1940.

   Churchill War Rooms

   Your private guided tour includes entrance tickets and skip the line access to the Churchill War Rooms, the secret underground headquarters of the War Cabinet during WWII. You’ll discover how these rooms became the nerve centre of Britain’s wartime government as it was here in May 1940 that Churchill declared “This is the room from which I'll direct the war”. You can see the marks on the arm of his chair, testament to the stress he was under. Everything you see in this underground bunker is original. Maps still bristle with pins, telephones sit silent, and even sugar lumps—saved for a precious cup of tea—remain exactly where they were left in 1945. The CWR were then abandoned, and time stood still, preserving this extraordinary bunker as one of Britain’s most important WWII sites. Please note: As your private guide I will accompany you into CWR, with skip the line tickets, and get you set up with your audio guided tour and map. I will then leave you to enjoy them at your own pace.
