ABOUT IMAGES  
Churchill Museum & Cabinet War RoomsThe underground headquarters used by Winston Churchill and the British Government during World War Two are located in the heart of ceremonial London. Visitors can view a complex of 21 historic rooms, including the Cabinet Room, Transatlantic Telephone Room and Map Room, protected by a reinforced concrete slab. An audio guide which includes first-hand accounts of life in the War Rooms, is included in the admission price. Today, the Cabinet War Rooms may be seen exactly as they were when British history was shaped within them. An additional extension houses the first museum devoted solely to Winston Churchill - voted the 'Greatest Briton' in a 2002 BBC poll. The exhibition examines Churchill's many roles as a leader, statesman, politician, soldier, father, husband and son. Visitors can gain an insight into Churchill's lesser-known - and often controversial - qualities and traits as well as his celebrated role as one of the greatest leaders of his time.
