Churchill War Rooms commemorates its seventieth anniversary this year from when it became operational in August 1939, the week before war was declared. Undercover – Life in Churchill’s Bunker and examines living and working in the Cabinet War Rooms during the Second World War.

The exhibition focuses on the personal accounts of the men and women who worked at the Cabinet War Rooms during the tumultuous events of the Second World War. Images, artefacts and the first-hand oral accounts of those who worked in the Cabinet War Rooms bring the working conditions in Churchill’s secret underground headquarters vividly to life.
