Looking for a place in history from which to film?
The historic Cabinet War Rooms are an ideal location for capturing the feeling of what life was like during the Second World War. If you’re looking for an atmospheric place from which to film, why not arrange a recce to the site?
Created in 1938 from a humble storage basement of what is now Her Majesty's Treasury, the Cabinet War Rooms operated throughout the Second World War and were the scene of hundreds of crucial meetings of Winston Churchill's War Cabinet and Defence Committee. It was from here that Churchill delivered several of his famous speeches. The Rooms closed finally on 16 August 1945 and have been kept to this day as they looked in 1940, with the War Cabinet Room, the Map Room and Winston Churchill's Room still containing all their wartime contents.
