Day by Day Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in London, England

It will come as no surprise, being the capital city, that London holds the most significant Royal and Parliamentary seat of power.

For the duration of your time in London, you will stay at Churchill’s favourite hotel, Brown’s. He was also partial to stopping by for a tipple after a stressful day in office. So today, Brown’s Donovan Bar cocktail menu contains a number of special dedications to valued guests, including the Churchill Martini. The hotel was also a particular favourite of the Roosevelt family. Both Theodore Roosevelt, the 27th President of the United States, and Franklin Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, visited before they were elected.

 

Day 2: A Day at the War Rooms, London

During your first full day, you will rise early for a tour of the Churchill War Rooms before they are opened to the public for a private tour with the museum’s director. During the Second World War, a group of basement offices in Whitehall served as the centre of Britain’s war effort. The complex, known as the Cabinet War Rooms, was occupied by leading government ministers, military strategists and Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Today, the museum has been created in situ with one room exactly as it was on the day they ceased to operate, Victory Day. The highlight of your tour will be the opportunity to go behind the glass of the room where the decisions were made, and sit for yourself in the exact chair that Winston Churchill oversaw meetings from.

Day 3: Windsor Castle and English Tea

You will leave London for Windsor with an expert guide to accompany you. Windsor Castle is still very much a working castle, and is the favourite home of Her Majesty the Queen. The magnificent state rooms provide an overview of architectural and interior design over the centuries and there is no shortage of stories about the characters who once filled these rooms. Windsor town is also a perfect place for some souvenir shopping. Following your tour, you will stop for more English Tea and cakes with an Old Etonian who will be able to shed light on what it is like to be educated at one of the world’s most famous schools. Of course, this is where Sir Winston Churchill was educated.
 

Day 4: Blenheim Palace

The next day takes you on another exciting day trip out of the city, this time to the historic Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill. A masterpiece of 18th-century Baroque architecture, the palace stands as a symbol of grandeur and heritage. Home to the 12th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, it boasts opulent interiors, impressive art collections, and rich history. The stunning landscapes, designed by the renowned Capability Brown, offer breathtaking views and a sense of tranquility. Visitors can explore the beautifully manicured formal gardens, featuring vibrant flower beds and serene water terraces. The pleasure gardens provide a delightful escape for families, with interactive exhibits and charming walking trails. For those seeking adventure, the Marlborough Maze presents an exciting challenge, perfect for all ages.
