Walks - UK

Relive the life and times of one of the UK's most renowned historical figures, Winston Churchill, on this in-depth tour that includes a visit to his famous underground bunker known as the War Rooms.

Meet your guide in the heart of Mayfair, the elegant London neighbourhood that served as a central setting in Winston Churchill's life. Set off on your walking tour to experience a host of places Churchill once frequented on a daily basis - from the park where he used to play as a child to the hotel from which he ordered his food while living nearby. You’ll even see the bachelor pad that he called home in his younger years.

Before becoming Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, Churchill was a frequent presence in London's fanciest spots. After getting a glimpse of his usual haunts as a young man, you'll swing over to visit the iconic tailors on Saville Row (where he still owes one tailor £197!). Continuing on to St James Street via Burlington Arcade, your guide will show you even more shops where he indulged his taste for the finer things in life—such as his famous hats and cigars.

After a brief break in Trafalgar Square, your journey continues through some of the darkest days during Churchill's tenure as Prime Minister: World War II. Millions courageously sacrificed their lives for a noble cause during these tumultuous years and are remembered in places throughout London today. Pay homage to them at iconic statues and visit solemn memorials that commemorate all the casualties experienced by British forces during WWII and other conflicts.

Last but not least, you’ll take a step away from London's hustle and bustle into the city's secret past. Churchill’s War Rooms, a network of hidden underground bunkers, are where he made crucial decisions that crushed Nazi advancements during World War II. Immerse yourself in British history as you explore one of its significant sites where forgotten war stories are retold.
