Churchill War Rooms & Westminster

After our lunch at the Lords Tavern, we hopped on the Tube at St. John's Wood and headed into Westminster for a visit to the Churchill War Rooms and Churchill Museum at the Imperial War Museum.

We had time to spare, so walked to Buckingham Palace and then down The Mall to the museum. Last time we were there a lot of it was barricaded due to the Coronation, so this was a good chance to see it clearly, albeit with huge crowds.

The Churchill War Rooms are an underground bunker where Churchill and his War Cabinet directed the war operations in WWII. They have been left almost as they were at the time. It was interesting and gave a good insight into how the war was run and won. I think England was lucky they had Winston Churchill.Okumaya devam et
