    Bentley Priory was the home of Fighter Command and is now the Grade 2 listed home of the Battle of Britain Museum. Hidden away on a 'posh' housing estate in Stanmore. Don't be put off by the closed gates, security are very friendly and will direct you through. The museum staff (mostly volunteers) are all knowledgeable and helpful. particularly Melissa in the Medal Room. The film cleverly told the story of Fighter Command during the war. They have one of the prettiest Tea Rooms I have seen which must be fantastic in the summer. It took us 2 -2.5 hrs including a walk in the fabulous garden. A real treasure worth a visit.

    Ever wondered how the Battle of Britain was won? Ever wondered how come we had so few? Answers to these and many more questions can be found at this small museum.A short bus journey from Stanmore Underground station [and free travel for the freedom pass holders & a short walk through stunning grounds, free parking for cars] this museum will delight the lovers of aristocracy and history.You've seen the ‘control table’ in the films but this is as near the real thing you can find. Still clouded by controversy this is a must for anybody who's seen a Spitfire flying. Believe me they didn't jump out of the woodwork, & make time to see one of the show houses on site.

    Thank you for taking the time to review the Museum. A Filter Room and Operations Room were created in the Ladies Room and Ballroom of the Mansion House and were indeed moved to a Bunker on-site at Bentley Priory just before the Battle of Britain. The 1940s bunker was replaced by a Cold War Bunker in the 1980s. The models in the recreated Filter Room were created to represent the movement of those who worked, to try and highlight the pace of communications. As a new Museum, we are always grateful for visitor feedback to identify areas to improve the visitor experience.

    Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Bentley Priory Museum. We're glad that you enjoyed visiting the Museum on our 1940s themed day in September to commemorate the 74th year anniversary of the Battle of Britain. It's great to have feedback on what elements of your visit you enjoyed, such as the film and the handling collection, and identifying areas that might need development. We are currently working on the design of a new website, which should be launched in Spring 2015.

    Until recently I did not know that Bentley Priory was now a museum, I used to go there when I was a very young boy with my parents on a walk from Brockhurst corner via the public footpath up to Stanmore to watch the cricket on the common. I remember when the war was on I used to go up there with other boys to the grounds of the big house which was The Fighter Command Head Quarters, there was a very small plane that used to take off from the lawns of the house out over the lake which is now a nature reserve.Our recent visit to the old house was wonderful and brought back so many memories of my boy hood, it was great to see where our war time heroes operated from and what they did to keep this great country free from our enemies, the grounds are superb and maintained to a very high standard. How good it was to see on your arrival to the big house the Spitfire and Hurricane fighters taking pride of place on the front lawn (replica's of course). It was well worth the visit and I would recommend it as a place to see, I am sure that I will visit there again soon to have another trip down memory lane

    Despite looking at the website for directions, it was impossible to find due to total lack of signage. I only found it because of other comments on TripAdvisor, not from the museum's own information.What is there is interesting, but there's not much and only a couple of rooms really worth visiting. Not much for £9 each. I feel it is really poor value for money.

    Check out their website for directions and don't be put off by the gates into the estate as getting here is quite a challenge. A sign outside the gates would be a good idea!! Once there the museum is small and impeccably set up. Guides are well informed and plentiful but it is easy to walk around unaided if you prefer, just ask. Excellent feel for the WW2 years and the air force in particular and there is a cafe down by the gardens when you need some reflection or relaxation time. Excellent hour or two.
