Churchill war rooms

Patricia Kellicker, 06 November 2025

We took the tour with Babs who gave a comprehensive history of Churchill and WWII. She’s an extraordinary guide who brought to life the man and his time. Highly recommend the tour - you will walk away with a new appreciation for the men and women who fought and the sacrifices they made. And if you get Babs as your guide consider yourself lucky as we did.

Our guide Jeremy was amazing! His stories and his quick wit brought the city alive! He was very knowledgeable and the first 1.5 hours in the city before going into the war rooms was a great bonus! Highly recommend !
