UK 2024: London Day 3 – Churchill War Rooms

The Churchill War Rooms are brilliantly preserved, with many of the spaces exactly as they were left at the end of WWII. The center of the spaces were more-recently turned into a museum dedicated to Sir Winston Churchill. I learned more about the man than I ever thought was possible…including his involvement in the Dardanelles campaign and his bitter opposition to Indian independence.

The Map Room was definitely my favorite part. Churchill even had maps essentially wallpapering his sleeping quarter walls! (I have decided I want maps to decorate our bedroom now).

It took Dave and me about 2 1/2 hours to see everything. If you have issues with tight spaces, this is not for you. Also, the rooms are kept quite dim so it was a little bit of trouble to read some of the smaller print placards.

You can read the description of the “Weather Indicator Board” towards the bottom — which wasn’t actually about the weather.

I loved the map rooms so much!
