Winston Churchill & London in World War II Walking Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
It’s time to go back to the 1940s. Big Ben no longer sounds. Air raid sirens are the norm. German bombing raids come under cover of darkness. The population lives with rations and restrictions. Many Brits lay down their lives in Europe and beyond.
With your local expert guide, you will keep calm and carry on, learning about the British resolve and getting the inside scoop on the truth behind Westminster in wartime on this walking tour past our most important monuments- Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Cenotaph, Ministry of War, 10 Downing Street and Whitehall.
The Tour will end outside Churchill’s War Rooms, the strategic war room bunkers from where Winston Churchill and cabinet were to conduct their part of WW2- frozen in time and ready to be discovered once again.

World War 2 Comes to Life

5.00As Sheldon gave us a glance over his glasses, he brilliantly and passionately executed a wonderful tour. It was fast-paced and incredibly informative regarding Churchill as well as World War 2 London. He gave the background into the humanity of Churchill. The war rooms are very small and cramped but did not get in the way of our tour. Heck, even my wife who said she had zero interest in the topic was captivated!
Best so far!

5.00Best activity so far! We took a walking tour of London during WW 2 and then the Churchill War museum. Our guide, Jeremy, was very knowledgeable and interspersed his tour with pictures and humor. The was room was excellent and allowed you to go at your own pace. Even though it was a bit crowded, it was very enjoyable.

5.00Our guide was entertaining and informative on London facts. We a fun time. The Churchill museum being in 1 room and not being in somewhat chronological order was overwhelming.
Great tour
