Overview of your London tour:

Step back in a time when nightly air raid sirens were the norm and Britain stood alone against a formidable foe. Discover the nerve centre of wartime Britain: The Churchill War Rooms & Westminster. We'll explore the secret bunker where decisions that shaped history were made. You'll witness the place where Churchill led War Cabinet meetings, spoke to President Roosevelt using groundbreaking technology & strategized the path to victory. You'll feel the tension in the Map Room, where every movement of ships and troops was meticulously tracked. As we resurface, we'll imagine Parliament Square ringed with barbed wire and see the scars of the Blitz on buildings to this day. We'll also explore Whitehall to see how Londoners braved the Blitz and the Royal Family's role in bolstering national spirit, as we finally envision the jubilant throngs when peace finally returned. Combines easily with my London and St. Paul's Cathedral in the Blitz for a full picture of London at this pivotal moment in history.
