Hello again! Fancy seeing you here! Do you come here often? Well you should! Today I shall tell about my travels to the Churchill War Rooms! The Churchill War Rooms were originally called the Cabinet War Rooms, since the Cabinet (a group of military advisers for Britain that included the Prime Minister) met there. The Cabinet War Rooms were a series of rooms that were used as a Top secret place to plot against the Nazi's in WWII. Everyone who worked there was sworn to secrecy. Please enjoy the following pictures.

This is a picture we took right in front of Big Ben! We were right outside the Westminster Tube Station, and had to pass it to get to the Churchill war rooms. Did you know that Big Ben is actually not it's own building? It is a part of the House of Parliament! The House of Parliament is like the US Congress but instead of Senators and Congressmen and women they have the House of Lords and the Ministers of Parliament.

This is the sign that says Churchill War Rooms. We passed right by it while we were waiting in line.

In the Churchill War rooms we saw the actual rooms. We saw inside the rooms that only Winston Churchill and a few of his top staff used. There was a secret room used to telephone the President of the United States - President Roosevelt. While this seems like nothing for the present times - back then it was incredible technology.  Everyone else thought the secret room was the only flushing toilet available.  There were also bedrooms so people could spend the night. One of my favorite places was the map room - it was covered with maps of Europe and Russia and it was there where they would make their plans on how to stop the Nazi's.  

Winston Churchill seemed like a hard boss but a nice man.  

Remember to keep watching, next time you will hear about our train ride to Stratford Upon Avon, and my big viola world tour! Keep looking every day!
