Britain at War 1939-1945

Britain is at war.. and YOU can be in the midst of it. Come with us on an unforgettable journey back in time to wartime London and the blitz.. it's the experience of a lifetime! You will see it, hear it, feel it, even breathe it as as you enter into the fury and danger of a blitz attack.

Dame Vera Lynn couldn't believe her eyes when she visited Winston Churchill's Britain at War Experience. She said, "I thought I was back in the war - it was unbelievable." All children should visit this nostalgic and moving experience to see what it was really like for the ordinary people during World War Two".

Winston Churchill's Britain at War Experience is more than just a tourist attraction, it's a unique trip down memory lane for those who lived through those bitter-sweet days and is an educational must for all those too young to remember.

You are there inside a bombed out department store while screaming shells rain all round you. Searchlights fill up the night sky while ack-ack guns fire on the enemy aircraft overhead. Walk through the smouldering rubble to the main street and see the remains of the cinema, pub and people's homes. The wail of the air raid siren mingles with the noise and confusion of the rescuers, while firefighters tackle the raging blaze and carry a girl to safety. You may be able to escape past the burst water main but wait.. you have to pass an unexploded bomb which could go off at any second!


  • Take the lift to the London Underground air raid shelter and see where thousands spent sleepless nights.


  • Keep up to date with the wartime news in the underground cinema or read all about it in the memorable news pages.


  • Enter the BBC Radio Studio and tune into Rome, Washington, London and Berlin for the latest message from Churchill, Chamberlain, Roosevelt, Ed Murrow, Hitler and Lord Haw Haw.


  • See the Drury Lane dressing room and catch a glimpse of the "spirit of the times" reminding you of the stars of the war years.


  • Huddle in the Anderson shelter and hear all the terrifying noises of an air raid overhead.


  • Look in at Rainbow corner - a club to entertain GI's.


  • See real wartime bombs, rare documents and photographs in the unique Bomb disposal display.


  • Learn about the Land Army Girls and other 'women at war' who fought their battles on the Home Front.


  • Gas masks, ration books.. it's all here factually presented, realistically portrayed. An exciting and educational adventure for all ages.
