British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill's second visit to Florida occurred in January, 1942, soon after the United States entered the Second World War. Locally, there have been various accounts of Churchill's stay -- some claim that it was part of a secret meeting with President Franklin Roosevelt and that the two leaders dined at Cap's Place Restaurant.

The Churchill Centre has a website that provides an almost daily account of Churchill's activities, including his trip to the Pompano area:

January 5 - Washington and Pompano Beach, FL
WSC flew to Florida in an airplane provided by General Marshall, accompanied by Sir Charles Wilson, John Martin and Tommy Thompson. They stayed in a bungalow provided by US Secretary of State Stettinius. They landed at West Palm Beach airport and drove to Pompano.
Word was put out that a Mr. Lobb, an invalid requesting quiet, was staying at the house. They were closely guarded by the Secret Service. The press guessed they were there but left them alone.

January 6 - Pompano, FL
WSC relaxed by bathing in the ocean. Two couriers a day flew down to Pompano from Washington.

January 9 - Pompano, FL
WSC worked on rewriting his four mid-Atlantic surveys of the future of the world. Sir Charles Wilson recorded that WSC was in "a belligerent mood." WSC lunched with Consuelo Balsan (Vanderbilt).

January 10 - Pompano and Fort Lauderdale, FL
WSC lunched with Consuelo Balsan in Fort Lauderdale before leaving by train for Washington.

Since Churchill met with President Roosevelt both before and after his trip to Pompano, there appears to be no reason Churchill would have had to meet with his American counterpart in Florida.

The Cap's Place story is, it seems, partially true, but instead of Churchill dining at the restaurant, Cap sent food to Churchill's borrowed bungalow.
