Cabinet War Rooms
About Cabinet War Rooms
On becoming PM in May 1940, "the man of the 20th century", Winston Churchill visited the underground War Cabinet Rooms and declared: "This is a room from which I will direct the war". And he did. When the war ended the rooms were abandoned, known about only by senior government figures until in 1981 Margaret Thatcher declared the site as an educational museum. Today, thanks to a grand restoration job, the likes of you and I can wine, dine, dance and make business deals (if not make decisions crucial to the nation’s survival, alas) in a number of historically important period rooms that look just as they did during when bombs were being dropped over London. Each of varying capacity, there’s the business mod-con filled Auditorium and Plant Room 7, the shiny-floored Churchill Room (soon to be turned into a museum) which suits dinner dances and similar receptions, and the smaller Switchboard Room. If you feel your guests deserve that extra touch, you could always add to the occasion by throwing in a guided tour or a talk.
