TOP SECRET EVENTS
WELCOME TO LONDON S HISTORIC UNDERGROUND LOCATION Give your guests the experience of a lifetime at Churchill War Rooms, hidden beneath the iconic buildings of Westminster. Rich in atmosphere, this incredible venue is the very site where Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his Cabinet led Britain to victory during the Second World War.
