MelankolinaJuly 15, 2017Save time, buy tickets online in advance (or queue for over an hour..) You'll defo need a minimum 1.5 hours here, last admission at 17:45. Super cool maps, well curated exhibition, so worth it!

❀✿ YIᑎG ✿❀October 19, 2015A must visit if you're into history. I spent about two hours in here reading about the amazing things Churchill did during this time and I wasn't even close to done! Great experience!
Esra DMarch 16, 2013Give yourself 2 hours for this wonderful find. Look out for the concrete slab to fill space to withstand German bombs. Some rooms are just as they were from 1945Upvoted Jan 29
Maya Abdul-LatifJune 2, 2022Really nice and worth it! But allow for plenty of time and finish the war rooms before checking the Churchill museum as the latter can take a lot of time and can’t be easily followed.
Kate GomesMarch 8, 2015I was told this would be fantastic and indeed it was. My favourite museum in a long time. Amazing to walk through the lives experience of WW2 decision makers. Great headset commentary.
Evelyn SoJuly 4, 2013If you visited before 2005, you would be pleasantly surprised by how much the site has expanded, including a very well designed museum. Highly recommend even if you are not a war buff!
Danny UKAugust 29, 2014Well worth the visit here to see just how small the space was for the war cabinet to work in. A great audio tour allows you the freedom to wander at your own pace.
Jose LopezFebruary 12, 2015This museum is dedicated to Churchill and his leadership during the world war, the entrance it's kinda hidden, since it's a subterranean museum.
josh herbachAugust 27, 2014Great museum with samples of some of Churchill's great speeches, a view of the inner workings of the govt during the blitz and a good audio guide providing a lot of evocative details
Dave MarshallOctober 29, 2015Churchill's life really comes into a new light, as your given an insight into his personality, cabinet speeches and leadership. The tour helps navigate the vast amount of material succinctly must see.
Michael HallettOctober 18, 2014The highlight of the museum is the map room. Don't skip the Churchill Museum, it's worth some time.
Brendan ElliottJanuary 6, 2018Amazing!! Don’t miss this when in London. Give yourself more time than you tho k as the Churchill Museum is very extensive and interactive.
Jonathan SteffanoniApril 14, 2019Ignore the audio guides, but it’s worth a wander around. An interesting view into the past.
Janet CheungSeptember 1, 2014Check out the Bali bombing memorial right outside of this. Much respect to England for this monument I greatly appreciate it as lost a teacher in it and used to go to the place myself
Lisa NSeptember 24, 2017Fantastic museum. Allow at least 1.5 hours to do it justice. Best to book tickets online so you don't have to queue.
- L KJanuary 4, 2015Perhaps the best museum in London. Incredible hairiest, things you've never thought of before. A must-see in London.
Jeremy KrantzSeptember 10, 2014If you're into military history this museum will appeal to you. If you're not it's still very interesting and worth doing
Joachim BaptistJanuary 18, 2015Really nice overview of the man and the times. Worth your visit even if you a not a fan of museums.
DavidJune 16, 2015Underground headquarters of Churchill during the second world war. A lot about the full life of Sir Winston Churchill, from his childhood to national funerals.
Jen RFebruary 5, 2019Fascinating to see. You really get a sense of what life was like for such an iconic figure of WWII.
SuzyMay 2, 2016You really must visit this museum! You will be surprised to learn & see from where Churchill won the war :)
Arlen VartazarianJune 9, 2015Must visit! You can get lost in the museum alone. Set aside good 2 hours!

KostasMarch 7, 2020Good experience. Wealth of information regarding Churchill's life. Expensive ticket. 23£ per person.
Simone P.January 7, 2015Amazing experience, a bit expensive but really interesting trip in the WWII era...
Social News NetworkJune 19, 2012Though Churchill only spent about three nights here, the war rooms are still cool. Spend at least an hour looking through the electronic documents on the computerized table. They tell a lot about him
Matthias BauwOctober 31, 2018Bigger than you would expect. We did the whole thing in just under 2 hours
Neil TurnerNovember 24, 2012£16.50 for adults, but free for children aged 15 and under, and English Heritage members get 2 for 1 entry. Allow 2-3 hours for a visit.
Keri RobinsonJuly 16, 2010this was a great museum. make sure to listen to the audioguide for the war rooms. the churchill museum was very fascinating and had many personal articles.
Sandra RielaSeptember 28, 2014Favorite tour in London! So interesting to see the actual bunkers used.
Darryl EllsonAugust 24, 2014Arrive early to avoid the queues. Interesting attraction. Not suitable to small children.
Jon ShecketApril 15, 2015I came out of this place WEEPING like a baby. I have never experienced anything in my life like what the people of Britain and their leaders did during the blitz so I can only imagine.
- HISTORY UKFebruary 14, 2011This underground headquarters was Winston Churchill’s command post during World War Two (even though he used to insist on going on to the roof to watch the bombing raids!).
Time Out LondonMarch 27, 2012It’s fitting that the man who had 300,000 people file past his coffin before his state funeral now has a museum dedicated to his life. Read more
