Churchill War Rooms venue hire

Hidden beneath the streets of Westminster, Churchill War Rooms offers the opportunity to host an event within the underground headquarters where Winston Churchill and his government directed Britain’s war effort during the Second World War. Step into corridors and rooms preserved to reflect the 1940s, where the Cabinet Room, Map Room and Churchill Museum tell the extraordinary story of Britain’s wartime leadership.

Beyond the historic rooms, modern event facilities provide a setting for conferences, meetings, private dinners and receptions. The HCA Auditorium accommodates larger gatherings, while the Harmsworth Room retains original wartime features, including an electric generator wall with its dials and switches. Contemporary presentation technology and flexible layouts sit alongside interiors steeped in history.

With its central Westminster location and opportunities to explore the preserved headquarters, Churchill War Rooms offers guests a rare chance to experience an important chapter of British history while attending a modern event.
