The war cabinet rooms

As a boy I read the Churchill Memoirs. It was during a very impressionable time and I was able to look beyond some of his self -aggrandizement . His recounting of the battle of Britain was a beautiful piece of writing and we were forever reminded of the readiness for the “Hun” to invade.

After the war the cabinent rooms were locked and not entered again until the 1970’s, it is now a wonderful museum with the rooms set out as exhibits and essentially untouched. There is of course a display area dedicated to Churchill which could take a day to see properly.

There is a Canadian content, the famous portrait of Sir Winston by Yousuf Karsh is on display, my photo expands on the message with a reflection of the war rooms as Churchill would oversee with a watchful eye.

For Churchill fans a must see while in London
