That is extremely cool that everything was preserved down to the smallest detail. The place looks like they just shut the door and locked it up. Very cool!

I just took a tour of the War Cabinate Rooms (Churchills bunker) when I was in London in June. Unfortunately they do not allow you to take pictures inside though. I did buy the little info book that has all the pics in it though.

I read that Churchill had been told it was 'bombproof'. He was a bit upset when he found out this wasn't the case.

Why the heck would they not allow pics, so you'd have to but theirs?????
