Points of Interest
Stop At: St. James's

It's our policy not to tell you too much about each stop in our walks, so as to maintain an element of surprise. That said, on this stop, we will link the locations to Churchill's family and private life. It's a fascinating tale.
Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: Waterloo Place
Waterloo Place, London, England SW1
Here we will consider the wartime Churchill. You'll hear about the Battle of Britain, the Blitz and Operation Barbarossa, and the decisions he made to keep Britain safe. This was the country's Darkest Hour, and one for which the country paid a heavy price.
Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: Horse Guards Parade at Whitehall
Horse Guards Whitehall, , London

Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: Whitehall
London
Whitehall is also known as the Corridor of Power, and here you will learn about the decisions that Churchill needed to take to keep Britain in the war. You will also learn about a secret espionage organisation, the Churchill founded, a Battle that turned the tide of the war.
Duration: 18 minutes
Stop At: Parliament Square
Westminster, London
This is the end of our walk. If you are heading on to the Churchill War Museum, which is only a few minutes away, then your guide will take you there. Parliament Square is a fitting end point, however. It is where Churchill spent the majority of his working adult life, it is where he married his beloved Clementine, and it is where he lay in State for three days before his body was moved to St Paul's Cathedral.
Duration: 18 minutes
