We came up for a special event at The London Bridge Experience but had some time to kill and we decided to visit the Belfast, I've not been onboard her for a long time. The ship is really interested and good fun. My kids loved the opportunity to elore such a large and amazing ship. I really recommend a visit... more

Having seen enough buildings and towers my eight year old son loved this visit, it was reasonable for the capital £10 something for me and he went free. We spent the whole afternoon going up and down ladders, looking in boiler rooms and from the Bridge - pretended to aim the gun battery at the Houses of Parliament but then... more

A very nice museum with a lot to offer. Due to the ladders and cramped areas big bags and small children are not reccommended. You'll see a lot anyway if you don't go to those sections but if you can't do ladders you are going to be pretty stuffed and not get the best of what the HMS Belfast has... more

This was a great attraction but what a maze me and my girl visited a few weeks ago and we just got completly lost. This place is so big and really interesting. The views you get form the boat were great and I have to say that I loved the staff they were all dressed in uniform and looked so... more

Took my boyfriend to here when we visited London, even through he is serving in the navy they would not give him armed forces discount and would not provide a reason why. Staff rather unhelpful and will definately not be visiting here again more

Was i surprised, my son loved it going up and down ladders and looking through gadgets. A cafe is on board for the more non able as well as a trip around the top deck. Fair play, not what I expected, and cheap too....can get discounts if not in London with train travel. Really enjoyed it and i am a... more

This is an absolute must for anyone with an interest in WWII history, naval history, or history in general. I took a self-guided tour with an audio guide that was worth every penny. The guide takes you through every major portion of the ship, touching on daily life throughout all decades the ship was in use but focusing on its... more

Ship ahoy!

Make sure you pick up the free audio guide as you board HMS Belfast so you can concentrate on viewing all the many and varied exhibits to be seen. There is much to interest those who appreciate the historical and technical side. Learn how HMS Belfast played a leading part in the destruction of the battle cruiser Scharnhorst, and also... more

We visited HMS Belfast after the nearby Britain at War Museum (don't bother - far too expensive for 30 minutes). We used an Oyster card for Buy one get one free and the children were free so five of us for £10.50. The audio guides were FREE, the children loved them and even my 9 year old daughter got involved).... more

Unless you are really interested in Naval history don't go. Most of the ship was closed off and the audio guide was poor. We paid £5 each, full entry is more than £10. For £5 it was ok, but with so many free things to do in London which are better don't waste your money. more
