Step into Blitz-era London, uncover stories of extraordinary resilience, and see the city as Winston Churchill saw it.

This in-depth walking tour covers iconic Westminster landmarks, reimagined through the lens of wartime London.

We all know Churchhill as a wartime hero, but to visit fav cigar, hat & shoemaker’s shops is to learn about his more private side & about a bit of London history too. Alex was excellent at drawing us into his daily life & habits, paralleled with the history of the neighborhood not to mention wartime London. Highly recommend this tour as an appetizer to the more serious War Rooms.

Enjoyed our tour with Beth. A nice small group of us had a wander round a very busy Westminster but we managed to find quiter spots to have an interesting talk and learnt some interesting stories about Winston Churchill. Not too much walking and well worth doing!

Great tour to learn more about Winston Churchill, World War II & London history. Our guide, Beth was brilliant. She kept my 11 & 13 year old engaged the whole time.

Excellent tour . Really enjoyed the way the guide asked before we started how many of us were fans of Churchill , and shaped the tour accordingly . The quote “ No more champagne “ should be more widely used .
Touching memories of WWII

Pleasant guide (accompanied by her assumed partner), the tour was more general in nature than was expected. Not a great deal of captivating facts, and was a bit disappointed by the lack of focus on the man himself (Churchill). If you have high expectations (as I did) then they need to be tempered.
Great Experience!

The tour was very informative, and we are very glad we booked it! We learned a lot. Also, if you are interesting in going to the War Rooms, I would recommend booking it about a week in advance. If not, you would have to wait about an hour to see if you could go in.
ENJOYABLE WALK AND INTERESTING.
