What To Expect

It's our policy not to tell you too much about each stop in our walks, so as to maintain an element of surprise. That said, on this stop, we will link the locations to Churchill's family and private life. It's a fascinating tale.

Parliament Square

This is the end of our walk. If you are heading on to the Churchill War Museum, which is only a few minutes away, then your guide will take you there. Parliament Square is a fitting end point, however. It is where Churchill spent the majority of his working adult life, it is where he married his beloved Clementine, and it is where he lay in State for three days before his body was moved to St Paul's Cathedral.
