Devoted to telling the stories of Britain’s soldiers and citizens, and educating younger generations on the Great Wars, much of the museum’s focus is centered on the two World Wars, as well as a series of acclaimed temporary exhibitions. A vast permanent collection of war memorabilia including tanks, aircrafts and personal items from the war years are on show, housed in an enormous Grade II-listed Georgian building. Among the highlights is a recreation of a WWI bunker, a number of interactive exhibits following a ‘Family in Wartime’, an award-winning Holocaust exhibition and a collection of acclaimed wartime photography by Cecil Beaton.

Doing what: Wartime London Tour: The City and Imperial War Museum
Absolutely FANTASTIC!! Phil is quite knowledgeable, like having a college course on the tour. He is entertaining with the 1933 authentic doubledecker bus, his dress (and two tone shoes!). The places we saw the Imperial museum, the war rooms, all was over the top for a tour! This is quite a treat and how blessed they are to have this young man and his passion for WWII

Doing what: Wartime London Tour: The City and Imperial War Museum
This was an excellent tour. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting London. Our guide was engaging and very informative. No one should miss the Imperial War Museum. Our one regret was not doing the whole day, but we had another engagement. If we ever go back to London, I would certainly take this tour again.

Doing what: Wartime London Tour: The City and Imperial War Museum
The guide was excellent showing us the city but the inside of the museum had to seen ourselves. This is not a guided tour of the imperial war museum but an excellent guided tour of the city. Highly recommended though.
