Cabinet War Rooms

Wow! Winston Churchill's bunker. When the war ended, the Cabinet War Rooms were just locked up and left. Some of the rooms were emptied but most of the 33,000 square foot (3100 square metre) complex remained exactly as it was for 60 years. We saw the room where the cabinet frequently met during the war, where members of the government slept, even Churchill's personal dining room and the room where the first transatlantic hotline phone was set up
I couldn't help thinking that if we'd lost the war, this would be a bit like Hitler's bunker is now: ruins. As it is, it survived intact and with much of the contents untouched until the War Museum began reopening it. The parts that were stripped have been refurnished using photographs taken shortly before that happened. It's just an amazing experience wandering around and thinking that it's just as it was 70 years ago. The picture shows D looking at the cabinet meeting room as he listens to the audio commentary.
