Down Street ?

Yes - and well worth the visit, but you need to get in quick when London Transport Museum announce future tours as they are few and far between. 

Fascinating - the headquarters of the Railway Executive from 1938 (they'd anticipated Adolf's potential assault on London and so bought and refurbished the closed underground station). They then offered its use to Churchill during the blitz. I'll say no more for fear of spoiling the visit by others.
