Battle of Britain Bunker

The underground operations center descends 60 feet beneath the surface, featuring an original map table, squadron display boards, and wartime communication equipment.

The bunker coordinated RAF Fighter Command's defense strategies against German Luftwaffe attacks throughout 1940, becoming central to British air defense operations.

The operations room maintains its original 1940s configuration, allowing visitors to experience the environment where critical military decisions shaped British defense.

The museum opens daily from 10 AM to 4:30 PM at Wren Avenue in Uxbridge, offering guided tours, a café, and facilities for special events.

The military structure was disguised as a decorative garden during World War II, incorporating earth barriers and concrete layers for protection against aerial attacks.
