I'd been to the War Rooms decades ago, when they were simply a WWII restoration.
It was an obscure grim bunker where important decisions had been made during the worst period in 20th century British history.
I remember a small electric bell at an exit with a small sign "Immediate danger above if ringing". Just a warning not to go outside during bombings.
Apparently it's been gentrified to the point of ridiculousness.
How do you mean, gentrified? I went for the first time early last year and it was an amazing experience. It's definitely very museum-like, and not cheap to enter, but the rooms all look like perfect time capsules and the audio tour is excellent.
