D-Day Bunker

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful week in London. We've both been many times, but we manage to find something new every visit. This message is a thank you for those on this forum who recommended the DDay Bunker tour and museum at Uxbridge. Despite the intermittent rain, we found it to be well worth it! I will say that it is not particularly easy to find the place; there is a big gap between the first tourist sign just outside the Tube station and the next one. But someone gave us directions and we made it. The museum is not large but is very informative. With out a doubt, the highlight was the tour of the command room where plotters could trace the incoming aircraft and the British airfields. The gentleman who was our guide gave us a 45 minute description of the process and then described the "worst day" of the Battle of Britain and Churchill's reaction. His description brought history to life - even more important now that most of that generation is gone. Make sure to book your visit well in advance because the bunker tours are limited.

Thanks again.
