Day Two - Chartwell
Travel to Chartwell, Sir Winston Churchill’s countryside manor. Pictures, books, and
personal mementoes evoke the career and wide-ranging interests of this great
statesman, writer, painter, and family man. Explore the hillside gardens and reflect on
Churchill’s love of the landscape and nature. They include the lakes he created, Lady
Churchill’s Rose Garden, and the playhouse built especially for his youngest daughter.

your own.

Day Three – Imperial War Museum and Churchill War Rooms

nerve center where Churchill and his inner circle directed the war in Europe. Enjoy a
traditional lunch of fish and chips at a nearby English pub, then take a driving tour of
London. Continue to the famed Imperial War Museum for an afternoon of exploration
in the exhibits. Imperial War Museum-London is a place to experience the continuing
influence of war on the world—an experience that is as compelling and thought-provoking
as it is unforgettable. Return to the Rubens this evening for your final night in
