Cabinet War Rooms

( Highly Recommended )

This underground warren of rooms provided secure accommodation for the War Cabinet and their military advisers during World War II and was used on over 100 occasions. Today it is a time capsule, with the clocks stopped at 16:58 on 15 October 1940 and the ghost of Winston Churchill hanging heavy in the stuffy air. He slept in his underground office-cum-bedroom on just three occasions, but many of his stirring speeches to the nation were made from here and some of these are played to heighten the evocative atmosphere.
