Churchill’s war rooms, otherwise known as the Cabinet War Rooms, were used for the War Cabinet meetings some 115 times during air raids on London. A secure connection allowed Churchill to speak directly to President Roosevelt from safety. A map centre was used to mark the locations of British military positions around the world and well as providing daily military information for the King, Prime Minister and military Chiefs of Staff. The War Rooms were completed just a week before Britain declared war on Germany and were operational for 6 years until 1945.
