				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8521" title="The Churchill War Rooms" src="http://dx9rjq5h30myv.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Cabinet-War-Rooms.jpg" alt="" width="539" height="391" /><br />
If you watched <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00s56d2/Doctor_Who_Series_5_Victory_of_the_Daleks/">Doctor Who, Victory of the Daleks</a> on Saturday, you’ll know the episode was set in the <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/439238">Churchill War Rooms</a> in Whitehall, the underground bunker from which Winston Churchill, the cabinet and military command ran the country during the Second World War.</p>
<p>The Churchill War Rooms are open to the public so you can go along and experience history for yourself. The bunker is almost exactly as it was left after the war, including the amazing map room. It’s incredible to think that so many people lived and worked here.</p>
<p>If you’re over 18, you can even <a href="http://cwr.iwm.org.uk/server/show/conEvent.3279">sleepover in May for Museums at Night</a>! I think the fear of seeing Daleks might keep me awake, despite the fact I definitely didn’t see any on my last visit!</p>
<p>If you’re brave enough to want to see a Dalek, check out our <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/culture/doctor-who-in-london">Doctor Who in London</a> feature.</p>
<p>Although the episode wasn’t actually filmed in Churchill’s War Rooms, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0309693/">Mark Gatiss</a> who wrote the episode (and played the Spitfire pilot) visited the museum for inspiration. Watch Mark’s visit in the behind-the-scenes show <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00s56hp/Doctor_Who_Confidential_Series_5_War_Games/">Doctor Who Confidential</a>. We love the bit where Mark says:</p>
<p>â€œI would urge anybody who can to come and visit this place, it’s a museum but it’s an amazingly authentic experience. I would be very very happy if people who watched it and enjoyed the episode would then come here to find out more about it, because I think it’s a testament to an extraordinary group of people and an extraordinary time.â€</p>
<blockquote><p>Churchill War Rooms are open daily 9:00 &#8211; 18:00. Adults £14.95, concessions £7.50 &#8211; £12, under 16s free.</p></blockquote>
