Admission to the museum

Important information

Due to the historic nature of the building, the only way up or down is via staircases. Visitors with reduced mobility can access some rooms on the upper floor, just not via the intended route.
  • Visit the Western Approaches Museum to explore a once top-secret WWII bunker
  • Discover the role Derby House played in plotting victory in the Battle of the Atlantic
  • See authentic artifacts and documents while you explore an eerie relic beneath the streets of Liverpool

Derby House was a key operational hub during World War Two. Where once you had to sign the Official Secrets Act to enter, now you just need a smartphone ticket!

This labyrinthine bunker, once the nerve-centre for the war-defining Battle of the Atlantic, is just as it was in 1945. Now home to the Western Approaches Museum, it's a time-capsule hidden beneath Liverpool City Centre.

See original documents, tools, and maps used to analyse the enemy, plus one of two surviving phones that had a direct line to Churchill's War Rooms!

  • Show your smartphone ticket at the entrance
  • The museum is opposite the NCP car park on Rumford Street; you can see it from Chapel Street and the corner of Rumford Place (close to Mercure Thistle Hotel, Hotel Indigo and Travelodge on Exchange Street)

Excellent
Wonderful experience. I found it a bit emotional at times but also very proud of what my home city done during the war. I took my grandchildren ages 9-12. And they loved it I would recommend this...
Wonderful experience. I found it a bit emotional at times but also very proud of what my home city done during the war. I took my grandchildren ages 9-12. And they loved it I would recommend this and I would probably do a return trip
