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 important monuments like the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Cenotaph, Ministry of War, 10 Downing Street and Whitehall.
After your small group experience, bid your new-found friend and guide a fond farewell to descend into the War Rooms. At your own pace, discover the miles of strategic bunkers where Winston Churchill and his cabinet were to conduct their part in WW2. This unforgettable location is frozen in time and ready to be discovered once again.

Exceptional tour guide

5.00We chose to take a private tour and although it was quite expensive we walked away feeling it was absolutely worth it. We learned so much from Barbara ( Babs) and she patiently answered all of our questions. If booking this tour, either private or in a group, we highly recommend that you ask for Barbara. Guarantee you will not be sorry!

5.00This walking tour of Westminster centered around Winston Churchills time as prime minister was a great experience. Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and entertaining as well. After the walking tour concluded we also visited the Churchill Bunkers highlighted by a very interactive Churchill museum. I recommend this for anyone interested in history and it's also a great way to see many historical buildings in Westminster.
