A very well maintained ship that’s a fascinating walk through. Great way to teach teens about WW2 & the Royal Navy. Not ideal for young children/older people as there any many ladders to climb.

Very interesting place. This boat is huge, we have visited it today and it took ~ 2 hours to go through all decks, stairs and rooms. It will show you how the marines spent their days on the ship ! Nice

Rob Howe

Really interesting. You get to explore the bowels of the ship well below the waterline. Lots of steep ladders . Wear grippy shoes & keep both hands free.

Pink 386

Permanently docked on the Thames, lots to see as it took us 3 hours to see all 9 decks. It gives you a sense of what it must have been like. Amazing piece of history and definitely worth the money.

Londonist

Don't leave this one to the tourists - it's really interesting and, given the size, actually quite good value . Don't wear a skirt (or kilt) though - the best bits are accessed via ladders .

Harry and his protectors, lead by Prof Moody, fly down the starboard side of HMS Belfast in the beginning of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007).

Be prepared for lots of climbing. Entry fee is steep. Free for London pass holders. You'll get to see the life on a battleship .

Carl Griffin

Impressive 1930s battleship which saw action at D-Day and in the Korean War. So many interesting rooms to explore.

Георгий Ющенко

Very good condition of the ship , friendly staff and useful audio guides. However, quite expensive entry tickets

Laura Abbott

Interesting ship with engaging Audio Tour . Feels like you get to go everywhere on the ship . Not good if you don't have great mobility. Quite a lot of ladders if you want to see the engines .

Tiago Soares

If you are a fan of engineering and history, stop by. It worth every penny!

Kristina V

Highly recommend! I was very sceptical but the experience was worth the money.

Stace Jamieson

An amazing way to spend a day and super informative and a really interesting look at life on these ships

Fukejř???? Mooza????

This battle cruiser is kind of a life experience and is definitely worth to do!

Martin Tiedemann

1 February: Its story is told through helpful guides, first-hand accounts of those who served on it and a chance to go below decks to see the cabins & engine rooms to get a sense of what life was like

Jose Lopez

The ship is huge and like a mini maze, different levels, the best parts are the deck and the captain cabin

Yarn Lam

Explore the whole ship ! The wax figures inside really gives you an idea of what a sailor's life was like.

Darryl Ellson

Very interesting. Most of ship is in original orientation so less mobile visitors may have difficulty on ladders and hatches.

Ahmad Alfilimbany

Amazing ship..one of my favorite place to visit in London.

Audio tour is free and helps you stay on path!

Fathima Dada

Really interesting place to host a private dinner . And the food is good too.

One of London's best museums , well worth its price of admission

Squirrly

this is a really tourist attraction . is very big and awesome, so be sure that you don't get lost :)

David

Very comprehensive visit of a IIWW warship. All aspects of people's life on board are shown.

Rebecca Addicoat

Come before 4pm. I find it rather disingenuous that they don't tell you they stop providing the audio guide after a certain time until after they take your full price entry fee.

Burak Yorgancı

Great view , so hidden pearl .

Jamie Dumbill

Takes about 2 hrs to go round. Fun bit of history, really interesting.

Painted in dazzle camouflage used in WW2 to confuse the enemy as to where the bow/stern were. Google for more examples :)

This WW2 cruiser, now a tourist attraction , took part in the sinking of the German battleship Scharnhorst and in the D-Day landings. Her guns are aimed at an M1 service station 12.5 miles away.
