Did you know that Stalin was not the only leader who had his bunker? At the heart of London is now a museum, which is a real bunker, bunker Churchill. During the war they met the cabinet, there were communicators and coders, and sometimes there were radio broadcasts BBC BBC.

So here is the bunker is literally a 5-minute walk from the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.

At the big table in the meeting room, ministers and generals were discussing important issues. Churchill's chair - at the head table.
Do ministers and other VIPs had their own rooms and bedrooms.
The British, before the war have calculated the possible loss of life in the case of the bombing, built a bunker in 1938, and with it, and other shelters throughout the city.

As you can see everything inside is very modest, even ascetic.

In the bedrooms and offices of every member of the Government provided for a chamber pot, jug and basin. What, no amenities.
Office Assistant Churchill, Charles Thompson, Ralphie.




Maps, pipes, candles distinguished Chiefs of Staff's office.
Communicators, and typists.

In the center of the room - the famous Enigma (cipher machine).
Rooms for the officials of lower rank.

Classrooms, offices, classrooms.





And the fun part - the actual room of Churchill and his cabinet. Although he preferred to spend the night at 10 Downing Street.
