Churchill War Rooms
King Charles Street, London
Although the Houses of Parliament is where policies have been made for centuries, there was a time during the Second World War when the country’s political leaders had to seek refuge underground to make important decisions and devise the military strategy that helped win the war. During your stay at our 5 Star hotels London, hop on the Tube and make your way to Westminster to explore these incredible subterranean bunkers. As you browse the collection of exhibits, you’ll find antique technology, authentic documents and unique memorabilia.
No. 10 Downing Street
Westminster, London
Also located in the heart of Westminster, this iconic address is recognised around the world. The iconic black door and metal fencing have been the backdrop to some of the most famous speeches and announcements in the history of Britain. Number 10 Downing Street is the home and headquarters of the Prime Minister of Britain and has been for centuries. While the façade of the building remains consistent with the rest of the street, the interior is actually made of three terrace houses and is a labyrinth of meeting rooms and residential areas. Be sure to snap a selfie outside of the house.
Guildhall
Gresham Street, London
Make your way to the historic Square Mile and visit one of London’s oldest landmarks. Guildhall is a city hall that has been the headquarters for political and economic decisions in the City of London for centuries.

The building was built on top of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre which was created over a thousand years ago.
