If you're ever in London, you can visit Churchill's wartime bunker, an underground system of rooms where he and his war cabinet strategized about how to win the war. They are known as—surprise—the Cabinet War Rooms. They were in use all day every day from the start of the war to August 6, 1945, when the lights in the famous Map Room were turned off for the first time in six years.

Try telling that to your parents. (Source)
