Not to be Missed! - This was an awesome experience. The walking tour was outstanding, led by an excellent guide, who is very knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and a pleasure to spend a few hours with. The museum itself is absolutely a must-see when you are in London. Extremely well done, comprehensive, thorough, and represents very important documentation of a critical time in world history.

Highly recommend it, if you are not claustrophobic. - Excellent tour to learn of the Whitehall district and much of the history of WW2. The city walking tour is just a few really good quality stops and our guide was wonderful. The Churchill War Rooms part was remarkable. Learning how he and his staff lived and worked in that bunker was astonishing. The Churchill museum had so much to offer. We did get a little claustrophobic down there. It is a bunker after all, and to get through everything takes at least an hour. The handsets took a minute or two to figure out, but once you get it the self-guided tour is amazing. Highly recommend it!
