The city of London is like New York; a huge public
transportation system, endless museums to visit, and any type of food you can
find (yes, there is even a Shake Shack and a Chipotle here in London
Town). One thing I love about London is
all of the history this city has to offer, especially surrounding the Blitz of
World War II.
Of all the sites I have seen, one of my favorite places in
London has been the Churchill War Rooms, located up the street from Big Ben.
This museum has documents and artifacts on display about the life of former Prime
Minister Winston Churchill, but it also a wartime bunker that served as
Churchill and his government’s headquarters during the Blitz. The museum is all
underground, and the rooms, including a map room, living quarters, and meeting
rooms have been virtually untouched since the war ended.
After leaving the museum, I was greeted with a clear sky (it
had been raining all day!) great view of Big Ben. Only in London town!
I can’t wait to keep exploring what this city has to offer
the next few months!!
