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.
