London's Royal Palaces & Attractions with Burlington Bertie .
Churchill Museum
The Cabinet War Rooms, once secret underground wartime headquarters of Sir Winston Churchill, K.G., are the core of the Imperial War Museum's museum of the life and times of Britain's World War II leader. The War Rooms have been meticulously restored and provide a riveting insight into the dark days of 1940 - 1942 when Britain stood alone against a seemingly unassailable Nazi Germany. The Museum exhibition examines Churchill's roles as a leader, statesman, politician, soldier, father, husband and son.
Burlington Bertie's Verdict:
This is essential viewing for all who admire Churchill as a leader, politician and writer or who are interested in the history of World War II. A visit will prove an intensely emotional and memorable experience for many.
