After lunch there will be an optional visit to the Churchill War Rooms, dedicated to the life of Sir Winston Churchill, and the secret underground headquarters that were the nerve centre of Britain’s war effort. Group rates: £12 or £10.50 if a senior. If you are joining the visit, you are free to make your own way to the Houses of Parliament. However, if you wish to join others on the train and underground, details will be provided in the New Year.
