This is a fab museum, well laid out and full of exhibits, it truely covers the British film industry and we found it totally captivating. It is just the right size and well worth a visit. More

I visited the London Film Museum specifically to see the Ray Harryhausen exhibition. That exhibition was wonderful but not worth the 13.50 pound admission. There wasn't much else to interest me in the museum. I also couldn't tell if some of the props on display were originals or reproductions. More

Just not good enough. So much to celebrate but the museum is confusing - no logical flow. Exhibits are poorly presented and there really aren't that many anyway. We had 241 entry otherwise would have not been at all good value. The cafe downstairs is horrible too. If you like British film, go to the shop at the BFI instead. More

what a wonderful time we had at this wholly under-estimated attraction. the items and interative displays were fantastic, the on site illustrator and the star wars photo-op were super-fun and we could have literally spent an entire day in there! and its right beside the London eye too! More

The design team who created this exhibition in this space should be laughed out of town. The building is dull and poorly lit - it's a maze and the one dramatic huge central space in the middle of the exhibition is wasted with a few badly displayed costumes round the edges from dated, unimportant films. This could have been so... More

At 13.50GBP for entry, a little steep for what you get. Nice layout, large, lots of rooms, chronologically ordered. Some interesting costumes and props from some cool movies. Charlie Chaplin section very extensive. Could benefit from more video clips of famous movies with London associations and expanding on that association. Overall, not too bad. I'd have preferred to pay about... More
