Churchill Museum
The Churchill Museum — a permanent
exhibition
housed
within the historic Cabinet War Rooms — is the world’s
first major museum dedicated to life of Winston Churchill.
Cabinet War Rooms
These top-secret bomb-proof underground
Cabinet War Rooms protected Prime
Minister Winston Churchill,
his War Cabinet, and Chief Military Advisors against air attacks
during
World War II.
Today, visitors can see the
Cabinet War Rooms, just as they looked back then — featuring
original furnishings and equipment. This is a fascinating tour,
especially if you're a history buff.
Churchill's Room
This is the room where Winston Churchill spent the night when it
was too dangerous for him to return to his official residence at
No. 10 Downing Street.
The Transatlantic
Telephone Room
This tiny room housed the secret Hot-Line Telephone,
allowing Churchill and the U.S. President to conduct their strategic
discussions in complete security.
The Cabinet Room
Churchill, his Chiefs of Staff, and a select few War Cabinet
ministers and advisers met in this private chamber during the
evening bombing raids of 1940 and 1941. 
The Map Room
The Map Room became the hub of the whole site until V-J Day —the day that victory over Japan was celebrated by the Allies.
Closed down one day after the war — August 16, 1945 —
the room was left almost exactly as you see it today.
