London Day 1: The Cabinet War Rooms and The Churchill Museum
Upon the recommendation of David Whitton, Rowan and I visited the Cabinet War Rooms and the Churchill Museum. After Trafalgar Square, we walked down Whitehall, then up a little side street to the Cabinet War Rooms. Everything was in pristine condition. On VE day, everyone simply walked out and sealed up the place, and it wasn't opened until about 20 years ago. The Churchill museum was quite an educational experience for me. I knew vaguely who he was and some of the things he was known for, but now I have a much better feeling for who the man was. Quite the character; I definitely enjoyed reading and listening to a few of his famous speeches and quotes.
