You’ve seen Big Ben and St Paul’s. Now meet the man who kept them standing
You might have ticked famous landmarks like Big Ben and St. Paul’s Cathedral off your list, but you have yet to discover the story of the man who protected London’s iconic skyline during World War II.
This exclusive 3-in-1 excursion blends a deep dive into wartime history with an appreciation for fine art and the serenity of the British countryside. By exploring the private estate of Sir Winston Churchill, you will gain an intimate understanding of the personal life, artistic passions, and natural surroundings that shaped Great Britain’s legendary wartime leader.
Chartwell was his beloved family residence for over forty years and has been meticulously preserved to capture the exact atmosphere of his time here. Visitors often say the rooms feel so authentic, it seems as though Sir Winston himself might step through the doorway at any moment.

This was an excellent experience. Chartwell is fascinating and worth the journey from London. This private tour is definitely the way to go! Our driver, Virgil Sergiu, is fantastic. He was bright, friendly and delightful! A wonderful person and an excellent driver! Very comfortable car. We highly recommend this tour and this driver!

Being picked up right from our lodging was a big plus and being able to stay as long as we wished vs. a rushed tour. If you value your time and experience, it’s worth it.
Dorie, USA
Churchill’s home was fascinating and the gardens and ponds created a soothing experience. Much history and no rush.
Christopher, USA
Even though it was overcast and rainy most of the day, it was a fantastic experience to visit Chartwell and the Churchill estate. There is so much to see and read about Churchill at the estate that is not well known about the senior statesman. His painting abilities were known of but could not really be appreciated until you see his actual collection in his studio. I strongly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

How to get to Chartwell from London
Chartwell sits in the Kent countryside near Westerham, about 25 miles from central London. It is not on the railway, which makes it one of the harder National Trust houses to reach without a car.
By train
There is no direct train. You travel to Sevenoaks, Oxted or Edenbridge, then need a local taxi for the last few miles, and again for the journey back. Rural taxis are limited, so it pays to book ahead.
By bus
There is no direct bus from London, and local services are infrequent. Allow plenty of time and check timetables carefully for your return.
By car
The drive takes around an hour to an hour and a half, depending on traffic, through the M25 and country lanes, with on-site parking at the estate.
With a private driver
We collect you from your London hotel, wait while you spend five hours at the house and gardens, and bring you back. No connections, no taxi queues.
