Stafford London launches Churchill commemoration package to mark 50 year anniversary
London, Feb 19 (NITN): The Stafford London in St. James’s has launched its Churchill – A commemoration at The Stafford London package to mark 50 years since the death of one of Britain’s most revered statesman, Sir Winston Churchill.

The Churchill package offers guests the chance to stay at the 18th century property, thought to have been one of Churchill’s favourite establishments during his time in office, as well as enjoying entry to the popular Churchill War Rooms – the original Cabinet War Rooms and the wartime bunker that sheltered Churchill and his government during the Blitz.

Guests will also receive a bottle of Pol Roger Brut Vintage 2004, a style of champagne that Churchill himself drank.

To this day there remains a strong relationship between the Pol Roger Churchill families. Guests will also receive a hardback copy of London mayor Boris Johnson’s bestselling book ‘The Churchill Factor’ which chronicles the life of the famed Prime Minister and the many distinctive facets of his character.

Cigar lovers can also enjoy a 10% saving at the well-known James J. Fox, the great British cigar merchant, at nearby 19 St. James’s Street. The shop itself was Churchill's favourite cigar store where he was a customer from 1900 to 1964.

The package is available from £550, for a one-night stay, based on two people sharing a Classic Queen room. Additional nights are available from £391 inclusive of VAT and breakfast.

The Stafford London’s wartime history:

As well as strong connections to Sir Winston Churchill, The Stafford London has prominent wartime links for a number of other reasons. Home to the iconic American Bar, one of only two remaining in the capital, The Stafford London was popular with American servicemen stationed on the home front during the Second World War and even nowadays features a fascinating collection of wartime and American memorabilia as part of its ever-growing collection.

Nancy Wake, known as ‘The White Mouse’, a British agent during the latter part of World War II and a leading figure in the maquis groups of the French Resistance, also regularly frequented The American Bar up until her death in 2011 at the age of 98.

The Stafford London’s 17th century wine cellars, complete with 8,000 vintage varieties, are also home to an informal war museum. Used as an air raid shelter in the Second World War, the cellars contain gas masks, propaganda posters, sandbags, helmets and newspaper headlines from the 1940’s, left undisturbed for over seventy years.
