Churchill War Rooms

The Churchill War Rooms was another one of my favorites. World War II has always been something I enjoy learning more about so this was really cool to visit. This is where Prime Minister Winston Churchill had to take shelter when the Nazi's were bombing London during the second World War. These war rooms did not just provide shelter for the PM and his advisers but it was where he made important decisions to get them through the war. What I found most interesting is how all the rooms and the items inside have basically not been touched since that time period. It honestly looked like a fake movie set to me or something but this is in fact what it was like. It was a weird feeling looking into these rooms and listening on our audio guide how they lived in here and met in these small spaces to make decisions that impacted millions of lives. It was a powerful thing to see to say the least. 

So with that statement, an element of identity that definitely correlates with this trip is that of power. This museum is basically open to pay its respect to one of the most famous Prime Minister's of London and definitely one of the most powerful and influential men in the world at the time. The other element would obviously be pride in place. The British are obviously proud of this great man who kept his calm during a time of uncertainty and in turn gave hope to Londoners and kept their morale up. These war rooms obviously mean a lot to the British people and are proud to have them open to the public to showcase their love and respect for such an important man. 

this time period is where this famous phrase came from
