I think that's now shut. The only good things I ever heard about it
were from people who were actually talking about the Cabinet War Rooms.


Seems to have closed in 2013, although some confusion on Trip Advisor -
latest review is 28-2-14


But "Visited March 2013".

UIVMM it was closed as part of the London Bridge station redevelopment
works (Thameslink 2000 etc) - I think the building wot held it is maybe
to come down as part of that.

I was suggesting a museum, which would not have required ongoing
MOD-funded maintenance; and would generate on-going proceeds from the
conversion and subsequent visitors as well.

London museums don't generate any net income.

Even ones like the wartime museum along the road from the London Dungeon?

latest review is 28-2-14 and he's pretty clear it's not the Cabinet War
Rooms he's referring to.

There is indeed confusion on Trip Advisor. There are about 17 reviews
of the Britain at War museum relating to visits after it closed in
January 2013. The Cabinet War Rooms are now part of the "Churchill War
Rooms", but TA has both listed, with the Cabinet War Rooms listed as a
restaurant! I've just reported this to Trip Advisor support.
