Southwick House

At the time of D-Day, the Allied commanders met at Southwick House, just outside Portsmouth. Southwick House and its famous D-Day wall map can be visited by prior arrangement (appointments are necessary as it is on a military base). To visit Southwick House, please contact the Station Commander's PA on 023 9228 4601, or the curator of the Royal Military Police Museum which is adjacent to it (tel. 023 9228 4372). The D-Day Museum is not responsible for visits to Southwick House.
