Rare gdlamberth Posted December 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2023 We will disembark from a cruise in Southampton on 28 August 2024, and plan to spend some time in London post cruise. While there we plan to visit the Churchill War Rooms. I have 2 questions related to our visit; How long should we plan for our visit? If we pre-purchase tickets for a specific time window/slot but for any reason are several minutes late, will our pre-purchased tickets be honored? I'd rather pre-purchase; but, if the time windows are rigorously enforced (as I suspect) i think I'll need to purchase at the door. there are 4 of us if that matters. Thanks for your assistance and patience, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted December 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2023 There are plenty of sights within a few yards of Churchill's War Rooms including Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament / Big Ben, Parliament Square, 10 Downing Street (Prime Minister's residence), the Cenotaph, Horse Guards Parade. And St James' Park is right opposite So plan to arrive early - if you're not delayed have a peek at one or two of those. JB 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki-k Posted January 7 #3 Share Posted January 7 When you plan to visit will still be during school holidays, most schools return early in September so London will be very busy. I would definitely buy tickets in advance to guarantee being able to visit, we pre-booked tickets and still had to queue for a short time last year. The Churchill War Rooms are worth visiting and take up to a couple of hours to explore. As JB said, there is plenty to do nearby, adding to his list there is also Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebreos Posted February 3 #4 Share Posted February 3 Definitely pre book as they even sell out out some days. I think if your polite and just a little late you will probably be fine - they are just trying to get an even flow through and probably have a little wiggle room.
