The discussion will focus on Prime Minister Winston Churchill, including his crucial role in the fight against the Axis Powers and his ability to cement the 'Big Three' Alliance with Russia and the United States.

FAQ
What is a small group tour?
The London Pass does include access to the War Rooms, but not skip-the-line, which is essential in order to take full advantage of the three hours. Because of this, pre-purchased tickets are required.
We generally spend about one hour in the War Rooms. If you are interested in a more in-depth, exclusive visit, we can arrange private visits before and after hours to the Churchill War Rooms. Contact us for more information.
