Churchill War Rooms

 While we were in London for our Olympic basketball games, we visited the Churchill War Rooms, the underground bunker where UK government officials worked during WWII because of the constant threat of air raids. The above room is the Cabinet room where Churchill declared "This is the room from which I will direct the war."
You can imagine how scared everyone must have been with air raids being a reality of the war.


I thought the kitchen, which served the Prime Minister's family's dining room, was adorable.

I also really loved the wartime posters in the gift shop. This one especially.
