  • Cabinet war rooms were awesome!!!!!!!!!!

    this was simply awesome. the cabinet war rooms and the churchill museum were one of the best things we did while here. unlike other museums in london, this one charged 16 pounds to get in. this included an audio guide, and probably the best interactive museum i've ever been in. the highlight was a huge table, possibly 100 feet long that was an interactive screen that had most of the days of his life on them. you went to a year, opened up the month and day and it had any pertinent information, pictures, audio, etc. for that day. i clicked on august 6, 1945 as that was when one of the atomic bombs was dropped. when i did that, the entire 100 foot long table flashed bright white and told about the atomic bomb dropping. other displays did similar things.

    this was an amazing museum, which was in the actual bunkers where churchill ran the english involvement in WWII. we toured the actual cabinet rooms, etc. i cannot rave enough about this museum. if you are in london you simply MUST see this. even laurie, who is not a history buff, enjoyed this museum greatly.

    War Day

    I inadvertently planned the day to be war themed. First stop was the Churchill War Rooms and Churchill Museum, then a 2hr walking tour about The Blitz, and ending the day with War Horse (the theatrical production, not the movie). Churchill War Rooms and museum was excellent. I have a new appreciation for Churchill and what the British went through …

    We had to drive to a ferry to get to the port and then we went on a train to Victoria that took two and a half hours to get there. Then we went on the subway and then got there.

    At the War Rooms we all got our own audio guides to tell us about …
