Description
An intimate journey through Churchill's life in London. On this deeply personal tour, we will visit the lesser-known streets, shops and buildings which played a huge role in Churchill's life and self-image. You'll check out the shop where he purchased his iconic cigars, stand in the military parade ground with its own hidden WW2 communications centre, visit the wine merchant with cellars running beneath the street, and take in the social clubs of which he was a member. Hear about his relationships to his wife Clementine and President Roosevelt, his life as a young soldier, and the stories of valour and predestiny which shaped his journey to become the man of the hour. And then for the mind blowing trip into the Churchill War Rooms. Here you'll be able to self-guide through London's most atmospheric and haunting museum, literally entering a time capsule from London in the War. Please note your guide will not enter the museum.
