Situated very close to the Prime Minister's residence in Downing Street (see map), work began in 1938 on converting a basement, 10 feet below ground level, into a suitable set of rooms. They were first used by the Cabinet in October 1939.
When Churchill became Prime Minister in 1940, he was given a bedroom in the Cabinet War Rooms but he rarely used it, in spite of the advice of his officials, preferring instead to remain at 10 Downing Street. That is, however, when he wasn't on the roof of a building watching the air raids!
