Sheltered appropriately deep beneath the arches of London Bridge, this is an evocative museum of what it was like to live in the capital during the dark and dangerous period of World War II, and particularly during the Blitz of 1940-1. Aside from examining a huge number of well-displayed original period objects, you can sit in an air-raid shelter or walk through an eerily authentic bombed-out building. Older visitors will enjoy the bitter-sweet nostalgia of such displays as life on the Home Front, evacuation, movie news and re-created shopfronts, while younger ones will enjoy the drama without experiencing the trauma of those momentous years.
