History
What You Will Do
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 our most important monuments- Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Cenotaph, Ministry of War, 10 Downing Street and Whitehall.
The Tour will end outside Churchill’s War Rooms, the strategic war room bunkers from where Winston Churchill and cabinet were to conduct their part of WW2- frozen in time and ready to be discovered once again.

Great for WWII History Buffs

War rooms were very interesting as they are preserved as they were in 1945. Museum was interesting and guide provided a lot of WWII and Churchill history.

Lots of information was included in the tour. Nathan was a great tour guide. We learned lots of new facts and would recommend to any tourist in London.

The guide was very nice, but a little boring, I love WWII history, but was kind of old-fashioned about it? I don't know if that makes sense?
