Churchill War Rooms tickets and prices
Entry tickets here start from €41 per person, with an audio guide. Both entry tickets are non-refundable.
The War Rooms also sell their own tickets on the IWM website. Check the official price there before you book.
A ticket from GetYourGuide can cost more than the museum's own price. What you may gain is an extra audio tour or a guide.
A WWII walking tour with a War Rooms visit
Only one tour here includes War Rooms entry: the 5-hour Westminster tour. It starts from €90 per person.
The Churchill and WWII walk is shorter, from €35 per person. It does not include entry to the War Rooms. Pair it with an entry ticket if you want both.
Both walks have free cancellation. The WWII walk does not suit wheelchair users, per its listing.
How long a visit takes
Plan about 2 hours inside. The audio tour ticket lists 2 hours as its shortest visit.
That leaves time for more of Westminster on the same morning. The Westminster tour fills about 5 hours in total.
Nearby: the rest of Westminster
The War Rooms sit in the heart of Westminster, so the big sights are close.
- Westminster Abbey: the royal church where kings and queens are crowned. See Westminster Abbey tickets.
- Houses of Parliament and Big Ben: Parliament runs guided tours on selected dates. See Parliament and Big Ben tours.

The entrance is on King Charles Street, SW1A 2AQ. The nearest Tube stations are St James's Park and Westminster. See getting around London.
Leave suitcases behind
