Last week my podcast co-host Matt and I went to the Churchill War Rooms to hear all about what IWM will have to offer next year, and to see who we could recruit for The 15 Minute Book Club (latest episode below…)

They’ve got a huge new exhibition coming about children and war, for starters, as well as Beauty and Destruction: Wartime London in Art. The highlight of the evening, however, was when the lovely staff let us go “beyond the glass” and poke around the Cabinet’s war rooms. Today, I thought I’d give you the opportunity to get behind the scenes too!
