The original Cabinet War Rooms used throughout WWII remain intact below Whitehall, with included audio guides narrating wartime decision-making across the preserved underground complex.
π Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with history-focused children aged 8 and up who can absorb the significance of the setting. The audio guides are exceptionally well produced and hold older children's attention through each room. The Cabinet Room draws the largest crowds - if it's congested on entry, move ahead and return.

βIt could be the most impressive museum I've ever been to. Every exhibit is incredibly well-made, with just the proper amount of information to read quickly and on to the next. Because of its tiny size, you should budget two to three hours if you want to see everything on a busy day. I didn't even realize we had been there for so long because everything was so captivating that the time flew past! It was strange to see things left exactly as they were after the war ended and the rooms closed, and the interactive exhibits are fascinating. There is undoubtedly a presence there, particularly when you hear the testimonies of the deceased.β

βAwesome, one of the highlights of our trip. We visited on New Years Day and were allowed in early which was great as it was super cold. Wonderful history, we had the audio guides and they were easy to use and provided the needed info to appreciate what we were seeing. In line with what others are saying the first stop (the cabinet room) is always crowded, but that's because it's the first stop on a timed entrance, the crowd thins out quickly, we hung back to appreciate it more. Pity it's no longer on the London Pass, and it cost a fair bit for our family, but still give it 5 stars.β

βThis is a great place to visit, especially if youβre a history buff. Itβs amazing how well preserved the war rooms are. Theyβve done a great job in keeping it well maintained. They offer a self guided tour which can take about 1.5 to 2 hours if you take your time are take in everything there is available. The gift shop offers some cool stuff but they have a couple of books that delve deeper into the history of this place.β
