The Late Edition

London's evening edition. Independent, updated daily.

Churchill War Rooms

The bunker left as it was on the day it closed in 1945, down to the pins in the map. Book a slot: it sells out, and the queue on the day is outdoors.

Directions

What to expect

A Friday morning in the basement under the Treasury, left as it was found in 1945.

The map room still has the pins in the wall from the day the lights went off. Attached is a museum of Churchill’s life, which is the larger half and the part people skip when they are tired. Low ceilings and no daylight, which is the point of it. Book ahead.

Clive Steps, King Charles Street, between Westminster and St James’s Park stations.

Nearby

Westminster has the nearest stations and everything else on in the same part of town. The Churchill War Rooms page collects every listing we hold for that address. Filed under Exhibitions.
