Telegraph Cottage

Does anyone know where Telegraph Cottage (Eisenhower's wartime retreat) is/was actually located? All I can find is that it was "near to London".

Telegraph Cottage was on Warren Road near Castle Coomb on Kingston Hill outside of London. It was destroyed by fire in 1987.

Re: Telegraph Cottage

I don't suppose there would be much to see.

Re: Telegraph Cottage

Somewhat related topic... Is Chartwell open for tours? No plans for holiday in London as yet, but sort of want to know in case I end up there on the other side of the pond one day
