I went to the Winston Churchill War Rooms Museum. I didn't get a lot of pictures because my camera battery was dying, but who wants to look at a bunch of boring museum pictures? It was actually pretty cool, with a surprise, spectacular ending! Read on to find out what happened!
This is one of five Lifeline tables (think bigger than your dining room table), it's interactive, like a giant iPad.
You scroll on the date and it tells you what Churchill was doing.
Many years before I was born, on my birthday, I don't know what he was doing, but it was important by the looks of the length of that text.
Map room, pretty cool.
Many a meeting happened right here in this room.
OK, here is the best part: After seeing the museum tour, we were rounding the day off in the gift shop when over a loud speaker the following message was heard: "Due to unforeseen circumstance please find the nearest exit and leave the building". At first we thought maybe it was part of the tour and thought it clever. But then employees started to usher us out and told us to wait across the street.
Shortly after they evacuated us, they wrote "evacuation" on our ticket and said we would not be allowed back inside.
3 Fire Brigades showed up. Something about smoke...blah, blah, blah. We never did get an explanation. This is our fearless group leader.
All the students that went on this outing. Sorry, I don't know their names. Oh, wait, one of them is named Teal, I think the girl to the far left and one of them is named Hailey.
Evacuated from the Winston Churchill War Rooms. Awesome.
