Once housing RAF Fighter Command’s No.11 Group Operations Room during the Second World War, visit the Battle of Britain Bunker to discover wartime secrets and ways of life.
It was from the Battle of Britain Bunker, located at RAF Uxbridge, that many aircraft operations were controlled throughout the Second World War, including the Battle of Britain and D-Day. One of the key parts of the world’s first air defence system, the bunker today serves as a museum dedicated to wartime life and the secrets that helped win the war.
See the Operations Room, preserved exactly as it would have been during Winston Churchill’s visit on 15 September 1940, where he spoke his famous quote:
“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
Beyond this room, you’ll find exact recreations of the conversations that aided the decisive outcome between the Royal Air Force and the Luftwaffe, Spitfires, offices, and more, all celebrating those who, behind the scenes, helped decide the outcome of the war.
Whether you’re a history buff, a documentarian, or just interested in learning more, the Battle of Britain Bunker is well worth a visit.
