I can't encourage you enough to visit, it's history come to life - this place played a pivotal role in preserving western democracy! Take your children and encourage your teenagers to go. The story and tour is fascinating, everyone is enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Not ideal for the less able though as there are a lot of steps - given that it's an underground bunker, that can't be too surprising!It is a little tucked away (signposted however) and you do need to make an advance appointment - well worth it though

I absolutely loved the tour of the bunker. As a WWII student I found it incredibly interesting. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and the bunker is fascinating. It is unbelievable how the total system was created! Incredible visual displays to formulate a defense against the German attackers! A must to see for WWII followers as well as those that appreciate project planning. Highly recommended.

. . . but this was the moment that Churchill and Fighter Command held their breath.Site to one of the most critical events in history, this the place where the Battle of Britain was won. Extremely knowledgeable volunteers guide to through the once top-secret facility. Restored to the critical moment of the Battle of Britain, 1100 hours, September 15, 1940, everything is as it was as the first German raid of the day approached London. This is when Churchill asked the question, “"What other reserves have we?" To which Keith Park replied "There are none."September 15 has since been remembered annually as Battle of Britain Day. Everything is wonderfully explained by extremely friendly and very competent guides. Well versed, they made me happy emphasizing the role of the Polish squadrons during the battle, and on this day in particular. One display outdoors are a Spitfire, and a Hurricane, which is in the markings of the famous 303 Polish Squadron.An unforgettable visit for anyone interested in World War II, everyone will enjoy the place, judging by the reactions of my wife, others accompanying the “buffs,” and the group of young Indonesian students who were there during my visit. Usually open by appointment, check their website for open weekends. The site will eventually transfer from an RAF facility to public museum. Free, but a donation of three Pounds was recommended, I very happily donated more, and bought some books and a coffee mug.

The bunker tour was highly informative and the museum holds mny very interesting items. I've done the tour twice now and both guides were fantastic and very knowledgable. Highly recommended. Fortuntely the flood in July didn't damage the bunker or museum. Give generoualy qhen you go as the tours rely entirely on donations.

We visited with my dad who lived through the war and remembered many of the names of the airfields and was able to relate stories of living through the war in Ruislip. It made me feel so humble that so many young men had given their lives in the defence of our country. The bunker is a key part of our history and should be visited by all.

What a special place. This is where the Battle of Britain was won and it has not changed since 1940. One cannot feel a shiver when you see how the very young pilots were directed using our unique integrated defence radar system which the Germans totally under estimated.The atmosphere is electric and much more people need to visit. Surely it should now be taken over by the National Trust? Yes make sure you are generous in the donations box. Steve the guide and the curator were excellent.This is where Churchill said first " Never was so much owed to so few"

It is a privilege to visit this corner of our history; a fitting memorial, I suppose, to those who served here. The introductory film, sober and thoroughly informative, is an excellent preparation for what you will see in the bunker. Then, the few rooms of museum have exhibits of unusually high quality and interest. Highly recommended and a credit to those who run it.
