Starting outside Westminster tube station, this guided walk will take you past some of London’s most famous landmarks.

After grabbing some photos of Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abbey, you'll visit Churchill's imposing statue in Parliament Square and then head down Whitehall past his old home in Downing Street.

Winston Churchill statue in Parliament Square

Along the way your expert guide will stop at lots of WW2-related places like The Cenotaph and the Women of World War II monument, and talk about the foreign governments that were forced into exile as Germany overran the countries of Europe.

Visit Churchill's wartime underground bunker

Your guide will then take you to the edge of St. James's Park where you'll find the entrance to the Churchill War Rooms -- the secret underground bunker that sheltered his wartime government during the Blitz.

You'll be free to explore the labyrinth of underground tunnels at your own pace while listening to its history on an audio headset.

Many of the most important rooms have been left completely untouched - preserved exactly as they were on the day the lights were switched off in 1945 - allowing you to experience what life must have been like for the secret staff who took calls from the armed forces, deciphered the enemy communications, and plotted the frontlines on the huge wall maps.

War Cabinet Room, Map Room & Transatlantic Telephone Room

Highlights include the War Cabinet Room, which still has its original 1945 arrangement of tables and chairs, the Map Room with its WW2 maps still pinned to the wall, and the pokey little Transatlantic Telephone Room where Churchill placed his calls to the American President Franklin Roosevelt.

You can even see Churchill's bedroom, his beloved wife Winnie's room, and the tiny little kitchen that made their meals.

Visit the Churchill Museum

Half-way round the War Rooms you'll find the comprehensive Churchill Museum, where you can see the great man's bowler hat, his chewed cigars, handgun, medals and watercolour paintings, and listen to his stirring wartime speeches.

I’ve ranked the Churchill War Rooms as ★5 in the best museums in London
