Such an impressive museum with wide depths of knowledge and interesting information. Additionally, it isn’t overcrowded; we went in the middle of the day on a summer weekday, and although there were other visitors, it wasn’t congested. I would definitely recommend coming here during your trip to London.

This was a great experience. It was amazing to learn about the history of the war rooms and the crucial part they played in the war. The exhibitions are engaging and interesting. The stories for the typists are especially interesting. My only criticisms would be that, when I arrived it was a full hour and a half before the war rooms were due to close. I felt that they were rushing me around after 40 minutes (with a guard following the crowd to stop people going back in). They were also using the electrics room for a private dinner, but still had it open to tourists, which was a bit odd. Given that I paid £30 to go in, I think they should’ve left that until after the war rooms were closed. That said, I would come back here again as I’d like to see the war rooms properly.

we waited in line at the museum for 1.5 hours. However, the queue was well worth it as everything inside was incredibly realistic. But when we entered the Map Room, we got stuck in each room, examining every detail. We had a lot of impressions, so if you're interested, it's worth adding this museum to your must-visit list!

This visit/experience exceeded expectations. A fantastic look behind the curtain to see where England directed it's WWII efforts, underground and safe from the bombings of Germany. In wonderfully preserved settings, see where the cabinet met daily, where Winston Churchill worked and lived, and where the staff conducted business in unusual circumstances. The Churchill museum within us also fascinating. Reserve your timed ticket online. Small cafe underground offers some nice snacks too.

Fascinating preservation of an essential part of WWII history. The rooms are interesting to peruse, and the free audio guide is very well done and engaging, including snippets of interviews with people who actually worked there during the war. We arrived an hour prior to closing, so we only spent time in the war rooms, rather than looking through the museum exhibits. Staff was friendly. Admission is a bit pricey, but considering the free admission to other great London museums, I guess it balances out.

Keep in mind that this is essentially a bunker, so the hallways can be a little narrow and confined. If you're a little claustrophobic, this may not be right for you.

Everyone should visit this site! Best History lesson for anyone over the age of 15 (young children may not appreciate or understand the significance of this place). Could be difficult for someone with mobility issues, or claustrophobia.

Absolutely wonderful museum. Highly recommend if visiting London. We bought our tickets in advance, waited in a small queue (they stagger guests for optimal museum viewing) and thoroughly enjoyed all the information and history of Sir Winston Churchill. Audio guide is included in your ticket, which is awesome! Do it!

First visit, have seen most all other IWM sites so had high expectations.

It was a great insight into what is a very symbolic site for us during WW2.

Great to see how things were back then, how the staff lived day to day and the very insightful volunteers who help provide further information to you as you walk around.

As the site isn’t the most spacious it can get crowded and there isn’t much room to move around in some corridors.
