Churchill was born here on November 30, 1874 .<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Although Churchill never lived here he visited often growing up, and it was an important place for him throughout his life. He spent much time here writing, painting and thinking. He loved it so much that this was where he asked his wife Clementine Hozier, to marry him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Some can&#8217;t-miss sights during your visit?

Located in the Palace of Westminster and across from St. Margaret&#8217;s Church, this destination is one of the United Kingdom&#8217;s most famous government buildings and you may recognize it as the home of Big Ben. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The most important location here in Winston Churchill&#8217;s life is The Victorian House of Commons as it is where he spent a great deal of his time during his political career. Tragically, it was burned down and destroyed after an air raid during WWII. However, it was rebuilt and deemed \u201cChurchill&#8217;s Arch,\u201d in honor of him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In fact, The Houses of Parliament were so important to Churchill that his body was even brought here for a public viewing that pulled in thousands of heartbroken admirers before he was eventually taken to the spot of his actual funeral. As a current operating location of government, the public is only free to visit on certain days. However, upon your visit, there are so many amazing sights to see, including his special statue near Churchill&#8217;s Arch, his memorial plaque in Westminster Hall and his iconic and recognizable statue in Parliament Square.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>RELATED CONTENT:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/alternative-things-to-do-england\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"> <em>8 Unusual Things to do in England<\/em><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" class=\"wp-image-19378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/03\/TT20-ChurchillBlog-London1-1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TT20-ChurchillBlog-London1-1-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TT20-ChurchillBlog-London1-1-330x219.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TT20-ChurchillBlog-London1-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/TT20-ChurchillBlog-London1-1.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Interested in learning more about the illustrious Churchill?
