Since 2010 we have been recording oral histories for inclusion on the West End at War website.
If you have any stories and photographs of Westminster during the war, we would love to hear them and share them with visitors to the site.
Please register with the West End at War website on the homepage so we can include your stories. It's so simple to do!
