Starting at Westminster tube station, this interesting walk will take you past the sites most associated with Winston Churchill during World War II.

You'll see the Houses of Parliament, Parliament Square, Westminster Abbey, Downing Street, war memorials, statues, a bomb escape hatch, and stand in the locations that were hit by the Luftwaffe.

The tour guide will use old photos to transport you back in time where you'll hear about the courage of ordinary people during the nightly terror of the Blitz, and learn how Churchill plotted Britain's victory from the operation rooms under Whitehall.

Note: You might like to buy some tickets for the Churchill War Rooms as well, so you can walk straight in after the tour finishes.
