Thought I would share some of the experience at the War Rooms we visited in London Top left The Map Room came into use on the very first day that the Cabinet War Rooms were ready for occupation and never ceased to be the hub of the whole site until VJ Day. Quietly closed down the next day, 16 August 1945, it was left almost exactly as we see it today, every book, map, chart, pin and notice occupying the same position now that they occupied then. The walls are pasted with large scale maps of the Atlantic, the seas around the United Kingdom and Far Eastern theatres of war including maps showing the island-hopping operations by the American sea-borne forces in the Pacific. Top right Churchill's room He insisted on having as close access as possible to the Map Room and his office was sited right next door to it, with a communicating door. On four occasions during the dark days of the second half of 1940, after the majority of central Europe had fallen to Hitler's armies, it was from this office that Churchill broadcast to the nations of the world. It was here he met the Heads of State, the politicians and military figures who visited the Map Room. Bottom Left Chief of Staff Conference Room Bottom Right Churchill's Kitchen Update: I did these all in black and white for the collage but did selective coloring for the red phone.

SmugMug > keywords > churchill > October 4, 2009 War Cabinet Room This is where Winston Churchill and his Cabinet met underground to run World War II. It has been left just the way it was in 1945 when they stopped using it. Fascinating place with many areas restored to the way they were in the 40's and a new Churchill Museum
