Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Rather Interesting
My brother and I popped in here as we had a few hours to kill before I went to go watch the football and he to the theatre. We had a great time here. A very informative, interactive and important museum! Well worth a visit if you want to learn more about British and World history.

Really interessting
The museum is a little outside the city center, but it's worth the walk. It is well connected by public transport. There are extensive exhibits from all eras of aviation on display. Including very rare ones such as the BF 110 G4 or the ME 163. Highly recommended for aviation enthusiasts.

Great day!!
Really enjoyed - our day out at HMS Belfast. So much to see, lots of places to explore. My 2 and half year old managed to get around and he loved it. All the Stewards helpful, friendly and informative. The gift shop staff are friendly, working hard to keep the ques down, friendly staff and stewards go a long way. Nice clean amenities, cafe and bar too. Highly recommend.

Brilliant museum , shame the history is about killing
Absolutely brilliant museum. An abundance of exhibits , going back hundreds of years nicely displayed with nuggets of history notes to inform you. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and more than prepared to chat about the history and exhibits

A must for anyone interested in Poland's World War 2 contribution
A must see for anyone, interested in Poland's World War 2 history. Uniforms, weapons, documents to many to list. The famous tailplane of the 188th plane shot down by 303 squadron is displayed. General Anders desk along with uniform is displayed. General Sikorski's plane crash uniform also. Very moving bits of history

Monuments of Three Wars & Museum
This is a small venue that houses monuments to those who have their lives in three wars. Apparently there was some reshuffling of venues at a previous home as the land/space was needed for other things and the monuments were relocated here. There are a few exhibits on the walkways above and the venue now seems to be focusing on pre-booked events. Luckily, this venue opened their doors for London Open House 2024, giving an opportunity to see the inside. The colors used inside are based on the regiment’s colors and are striking. There was a small space to have a seat and coffee/tea snacks. If of interest, check the website for open hours beforehand.
