"London, WW II points of interest" London by charlesracine

- Churchill Museum and Cabinet War rooms as they were; Secret underground actual location with the actual living conditions, mainly untouched as they were used during the bombing raids.

Birthplace of Alan Turing

- Imperial War Museum; On display among many historic displays is a working original WW II German Enigma. Also experience the feel of being in a air raid shelter during a bombing raid. www.iwm.org.uk/server/show/nav.001

- Alan Turing; credited with inventing the modern day computer called the “Bombe” (called that because, as it processed the data it ticked), machine for Enigma decryption at Bletchley Park. Turing the founder of computer science, mathematician, philosopher, code breaker and a strange visionary, was born at what is now the Colonnade Hotel, London 2 Warrington Crescent, one block from the Warwick tube station. www.turing.org.uk/turing

- Interesting; also well worth a visit, Saint Paul’s Cathedral, London. Winston Churchill said during the WWII blitz and fire bombing that (because of it’s significance as an enduring symbol of England’s endurance and steadfastness against German aggression), “Saint Paul’s Cathedral must be saved at all cost”. While there was some damage to St. Paul’s the immediate surrounding area was nearly complete destroyed when firebombed in December 1940 though, the round the clock fire watch crews attended St. Paul’s and saved St Paul’s. http://www.stpauls.co.uk/Cathedral-History/Cathedral-History/Cathedral-History-Timeline/1940

• Pros:Many various things to see.
• Cons:Can be expensive to live/stay here
• In a nutshell:A good stop to or from a European trip to break up the long flight.
