Embarking on the trail of history

Kickstart your journey at 10 Downing Street, the nexus of British politics, where an expert English-speaking guide unravels the complexities of Winston Churchill. Witness the grandeur of Westminster Abbey, the iconic clock tower of Big Ben, and pay respect at the Cenotaph, the national monument for war victims. Walk the same streets where Churchill and his team devised strategies to defeat Hitler during WWII, cementing Westminster's clandestine role in the war effort.

Unraveling Churchill's secret war rooms

Step into the Churchill War Rooms, an underground network preserved just as it was in 1945. Listen to Churchill's stirring speeches and testimonials from the dedicated staff through the official audio guide, as you wander around rooms adorned with original maps, sun lamps used for Vitamin D, and the table where D-Day was designed.
