David Cannadine wrote an excellent essay about Churchill's speechwriting process that is collected in his book, "In Churchill's Shadow." It has been a few years since I read it, but I do not remember any of his wartime speechwriting taking place anywhere besides offices or Chequers, with a secretary taking dictation and furiously trying to keep up with him.
