You're standing at the Churchill War Rooms, on the corner of Horse Guards Road and Great George Street, just off Parliament Square. The grand building above you now houses the Treasury. But the real story is right under your feet. See that faceted bronze entrance? It was added in 2012, and one critic called it appropriately martial and bulldog-like. A fitting nod to the man this museum is all about.
