It once controlled practically the entire world\u2019s oceans as well as administered much of the largest empire ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we\u2019re not here to talk about military ethics or British accomplishments and defeats. We\u2019re more interested in the fascinating military buildings and <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/attractions\/london-attractions\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=military_attractions_london\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attractions that exist in London<\/a>. And when it comes to war, we\u2019re definitely more interested in the past than the present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the best historic military attractions in London?

And who spearheaded the UK\u2019s war effort? Of course, it was Winston Churchill.

Well, that won\u2019t be an easy task, but the best place to start your research is at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwm.org.uk\/visits\/churchill-war-rooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Imperial War Museum<\/a>, built in 1917. Most of the exhibits inside focus on British military history from WWI onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this place unique is the artwork it has on display, which offers a sombre view of the artistic response to Britain\u2019s wars. Through the power of art, you\u2019ll gain a glimpse into life on submarines, during bombing raids and in shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-K8H88nt4e\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

It was famously a prison where executions took place, usually for charges of treason. But it also served as an armoury in the early 19th century. Take a look at the displays of uniforms and Victoria Cross medals during your stay in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CCDoakOs2gC\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
