About this experience
Step into Blitz-era London, uncover stories of extraordinary resilience, and see the city as Winston Churchill saw it.
This in-depth walking tour covers iconic Westminster landmarks, reimagined through the lens of wartime London. Learn how Parliament endured bombings and how Churchill played a key role in its survival. Discover the damage to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, and how Churchill himself narrowly escaped death at Downing Street.
We'll visit the Churchill statue, the little-known church where he married Clementine, and walk through the heart of British power – Whitehall.
After paying respects at the Cenotaph and seeing the cavalry guard, the tour concludes at the Churchill War Rooms. Entry is included, and you’ll explore at your own pace with an audio guide.
Please note: the walking tour lasts 1.5 hours, then you will have time to explore the museum on your own, with a suggested duration of 1.5 hours. Your guide will not accompany you inside the museum.
