Churchill War Rooms tickets and prices from September 2026
The Churchill War Rooms are in Whitehall, in the government district a short way from Big Ben and Parliament Square. For visits between 2 September 2026 and 31 March 2027 an adult ticket costs £34. The summer price was lower, so older guides may show a different figure.
Tickets are for a time slot, and you should plan about 2 hours for the visit. This site is an independent guide and is not run by the museum.

Access and the London Pass
Two things to check before you buy.
Step-free access
Do not assume step-free access. If you or someone in your group needs a lift or a step-free route, ask the museum about current access before you book.
London Pass
The Churchill War Rooms are not included in the London Pass or in Go City entry, so you need a separate ticket. See the London Pass guide for what the pass does include.
Disabled visitors
Disabled visitors pay the concession price of £30.60, and one companion per visitor enters free.
Fit it into a Westminster day
Whitehall is walkable and compact.
Horse Guards stands among the government buildings in Whitehall, close to Downing Street and the War Rooms. A visit can follow a walk past Horse Guards. Mounted guards are on duty daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an hourly change. The regular King's Life Guard change is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11 a.m., and a less formal inspection takes place on Saturday at 11 a.m. and Sunday at 10 a.m. Ceremonies can change, so do not plan a tight schedule around them.
Downing Street has no regular public access. You can only see it from outside the secured gates. Do not plan a walk to the front door.
For Parliament Square, Whitehall and the streets in between, see the Westminster guide.
A sensible order for the day
One way to combine the sights nearby.
Morning
Book the earliest slot that suits you for the War Rooms and plan about 2 hours. From September to May the doors open at 9:30 a.m.
Midday
Walk to Parliament Square for a look at Big Ben. The best views of Big Ben show where to stand.
Afternoon
Visit Westminster Abbey on a weekday or Saturday. Last entry is earlier than the closing time, so check the hours.
Evening
Finish on the South Bank with the London Eye. Keep a buffer, because a ticket time is the start of the queue.
