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.

What travellers are saying
- William H4 contributionsOne the best museums in the world. The museum is so huge and it has so many things to see from many countries. A museum full of history. I totally recommend it.Written 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lainie LNew York City, NY182 contributionsEnjoyable museum and you can't beat the price. It's free!
Quite a few masterpieces including da Vinci's The Burlington House Cartoon and The Virgin of the Rocks.
There are also plenty of Impressionists if that's your preference; Cezanne, Picasso, and van Gogh.
A great way to spend a few hours to get cultured and inspired so get there early! It gets crowded fast!Written 30 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would recommend to go to Soho , Chelsea and Mayfair.Written 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jagruti CLeicester, UK14 contributionsWent to the Chanel Exhibition at the V&A Museum with my sister. It was a fabulous experience to be able to see these wonderful and the most beautiful Chanel outfits (in the flesh). The information on the pieces was informative too. My only small gripe was that it was incredibly hot and stuffy inside due to the volume of visitors - maybe aircon may have helped, who knows?Written 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 2020worldtraveler2020Los Angeles, CA871 contributionsExcellent visit even though it was a 30-minute queue since we didn't have reservations. Really enjoyed the education and the way the rooms were set up.Written 26 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Angela EKing's Lynn, UK1 contributionReally busy but we enjoyed it , humble crumble was lovely. So much to see , didn’t have time to see it all as queuing for tings took up most of our timeWritten 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel Eric MatthewsLondon, UK106 contributionsWhat can I say about London's Hyde Park. It's stunning!
For me, this one of the top places to visit on your London trip. It's perfect in the summer, but suitable for all times of the year. Enjoy a nice walk, or take a bike ride around the park. Take a little walk down via the lake and grab a coffee (or whatever you want) from the cafe by the lake and take in the amazing views and sights that Hyde Park has to offer. In the summer time on a sunny day, it's perfect, other times you will find events, such as concerts and a perfect example of this time of year (November / December) is Winter Wonderland. An amazing event.
Since I have been living in London, I've lost track of the times I have come for a nice morning walk at least twice a week. I can't recommend this enough.Written 29 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HoppityskipEssex, UK13,803 contributionsLoads of tourists and expensive shops the performers seemed very quiet compared with normal performances.
Not a cheap place to visitWritten 20 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Steve GreenCheltenham, UK27 contributionsWe took a tour around the Houses of Parliament organised by our MP Alex Chalk. A brilliant day out to see inside a place we’d so often seen on TV. The House of Lords and House of Commons are extraordinary although I’m sure we’ll be planning a trip back to sit in the public gallery to see some live action at some point. The tour guided Tony was knowledgable and imparted his talk in an interesting way.

The bar staff were, for the most part, helpful and accommodating. However, bartender Malaika was particularly conscientious and patient in helping me and my friends find a drink to our liking, despite my fussy umming and arring over which drink I wanted which I particularly appreciated. Her ‘happy to help’ attitude, along with an in depth knowledge of cocktail mixology really set our night off on the right foot and really allowed us to have a great night feeling like we were welcome at the venue.
Otherwise the service was nice and would 100% return.Written 29 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s an easy walk and directions are everywhere. There’s a huge crowd so get there early and claim your spot!Written 23 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ASTOR001Nottingham, UK17 contributionsAnd as part of the same stay, Kathleen in the Exec Lounge is such a friendly and helpful person - and the cocktails she mixes are absolutely outstanding. An absolute star! ⭐️Written 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
