I is for Imperial War Museum - 'Childhood in War' (or elsewhere in IWM, London)

Join us at for our Annual Twixmas Trip to the Imperial War Museum - this time to the 'Childhood at War' exhibition (or other areas if you fancy something else!)

Childhood in War is a free, interactive exhibition exploring how children have experienced conflict from 1914 to the present day. Let their unique perspective show you their adaptability and resilience, despite extraordinary and challenging circumstances.
Bring history to life as you step inside recreations of an evacuee train carriage and a Cold War-era kitchen, offering a glimpse into everyday life during times of conflict. Through personal stories, immersive displays and hands-on discovery, you can explore how war affects everything from school and play to home and health. Young visitors can also enjoy a literary trail inspired by much-loved children’s books.

PLEASE READ:
LoMAZ events are run by volunteers. This event has an attendee limit as we prefer a smaller, friendlier group. If you RSVP but can no longer attend, please change your RSVP as soon as possible so someone else can take your spot, otherwise you will be marked as a 'no show'.
As most of our events have attendee limits, we remove members who repeatedly no-show, change their RSVP or turn up without being on the confirmed going list.

This event is likely to have a large churn of attendees - please please can we ask you to check your Meetup notifications so that you will receive a message from them when moved over from waitlist.

Please see the About Us section for more information about the group and how it works.

Thank you for your interest in the group & being part of LoMAZ.
