The Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms are two museums that are both housed in what used to be a secret underground bunker during World War II. The underground bunker was built in the months preceding World War II, becoming fully operational on August 27, 1939. However, at this time, they were not bomb proof.
The museum was reopened in 2005 following a major redevelopment, as the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms but in 2010 this was shortened to the Churchill War Rooms. The Churchill War Rooms (newly renamed from the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Room) celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Churchill’s return to Downing Street on May 10th, 2010. The war rooms demonstrate what is was like to work and survive underground, consisting of the Churchill Bed room, War Cabinet room, map room and kitchen and Churchill’s Chiefs of Staff room. A free audio guide is available in 8 languages and the war rooms are wheelchair accessable.
One of the most popular displays in the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms is the Lifeline exhibit which shows in detail the events that occurred in Churchill's life, all in chronological order. The Lifeline captivates and engages with a series of sounds and animations. One large room has been converted to house the Churchill Museum. Here you can learn of lesser-known periods of Churchill’s life. The Churchill Museum & Cabinet War Rooms is operated by the Imperial War Museum and is one of the most popular London attractions
Normally entry fare of The Churchill War Rooms for Adult is £14.95 and for Child Under 16s is Free. The opening time is as seven days in a week (9:30am to 6:00pm).
