Turing's hut has been renovated and today hosts a variety of wartime exhibitions. The Bletchley Park Trust has recreated Turing's office at the far end of the hut.

Turing's office would have been one of the more comfortable places to have concentrated on the intensive work at hand, although it would still have been far from luxurious, given the noise and heat produced by the decoding machines.

Some of the work which went on in Turing's hut contributed to the Allied victory in the Battle of the Atlantic. Huge progress was made after German codebooks were retrieved from a U-boat and passed to Turing's codebreakers at Bletchley Park.
