(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Bolton Street was home to Churchill's first 'bachelor pad' which, upon his marriage to Clementine became their first family home. Known for having toy soldier's loitering around the place, a library stocked with £6,000 worth of books and a bedroom which was decorated in his mother's taste, Churchill's home life started here. Whilst still in private ownership, the exterior views of Churchill's old home gives us the chance to discuss Churchill as a young man, as a new husband, and his relationship with his mother and his wife, both of which could be difficult yet loving.
Berkeley Square
Churchill's marriage to his wife Clementine has often been seen as loving, stable, and faithful. However recent tapes unearthed at Churchill College Cambridge shed some doubt onto this view of their relationship. Was Winston having an affair with the woman dubbed 'The Mistress of Mayfair'? Did she, as some suspect, have plans to blackmail Churchill during the country's darkest hour? Uncover all, including the rumours and gossip that surrounded Churchill and his mistress, outside the address where she lived and where Churchill regularly met her.
Churchill And Roosevelt Allies Sculpture
