The secret underground headquarters of the War Cabinet
and the Chiefs of Staff who commanded operations during World War II,

is dedicated to the life and times of one of the ‘greatest
Briton's' that ever lived Sir Winston Churchill.

and audio recordings on a 50 foot interactive graphical timeline
depicting Churchill's and his staff's activities in the rooms deep
below the Government Office Building. From Churchill's childhood to his
‘finest hour' visitors can learn about his pleasures, personal
routines, private life and political exploits including many of his
trademark props - including a cigar and his red siren suit and
trademark top hat - are on display
The Cabinet & Map Room where the course of the war
was directed and Sir Winston's living quarters are still in much the
same condition as they were in 1945 when victory was declared and the
doors were closed.
