Accessibility

From Monday 16 January until the end of May 2012 a major redevelopment of the Churchill War Rooms entrance will be underway. We will remain open throughout the construction period but access will be limited. Unfortunately there will be no step free access and we are therefore unable to accommodate wheelchair users or visitors with pushchairs, and group visits will be limited. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We are committed to ensuring the Churchill War Rooms is made accessible as possible, but please do bear us with during this period of redevelopment. If you have any queries or would like to discuss any access issues please call 020 7766 0125.

  • A lift to the basement level. Once inside the historic building, the Churchill War Rooms is wheelchair accessible throughout. The entire site is without stairs.
  • Mobility accessible toilets.
  • Two wheelchairs are available on site for people that may need assistance during their visit.
  • Guide dogs and hearing dogs are welcome.
  • For the hearing impaired, an earpiece is available for the hand-held audio guide, or you can have a copy of the sound guide transcript.

All of our Front of House staff receive training in disability awareness. If you have any queries, or need any assistance, please ask. We will be more than happy to help you. If you have any feedback we would love to hear from you. You can leave comments at our Reception Desk on your day of visit or email us at cwr@iwm.org.uk.
