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.

- MCCSouth West England, UK732 contributionsThe Collection is displayed at Hertford House in Manchester Square London, now exquisitely maintained, was one of the London residence of the Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace. It was donated to the nation and was opened to the public as a museum in 1900.
Collection’s treasures include paintings of 18th-century French art, as well as those from 17th and 19th-century, medieval and Renaissance works of art and one of the finest collections of princely arms and armour in Britain. As well as the regular works of art and arms on display the galleries often hold visiting exhibitions which are chargeable.
Free Wi-Fi is available which when connected an app can be downloaded, available in several languages, which allows 'Look-Up' numbers next to artworks in the galleries to easily find the artwork in the app, and discover the history and context of the piece.
Every room is accessible including the the nice cafe and restaurant.Written 2 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I loved the laid back but vibrant ambience. The only issue was that we were forced to ignore all the servers luring to their Indian/Pakistani restaurant which was tiresome after some time.Written 18 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cam LSydney, Australia15 contributionsIt’s a gorgeous park to enjoy the London summer sun with friends! Bring a picnic and drinks on a sunny day, and enjoy sunset and views of London!

- NoraatcSudbury, MA39,629 contributionsLovely place to stroll and relax. Beautiful lawns, flowers, wide alleys, Japanese garden and gorgeous front gates. I would love to spend more time there and will do so next time.Written 19 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ElliotHarrogate, UK7 contributionsJust a short walk from the Tower Hill tube station is this small museum, which gives information on the infamous Jack The Ripper murders.
Despite the controversy surrounding its opening (I remember there being quite a stir a few years back), equal attention is given to the Ripper, the people who tried to catch him, and the victims. It's all done very respectfully and isn't exploitative.
Only a couple of minor complaints - I found some of the text on some signs a little hard to read due to the font used, and since the rooms are small it can become quite cramped depending on how many people are present.
Definitely recommend if you're in the area and have a little time to kill.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We enjoyed taking our time and wandering at leisure. It was not too crowded or overwhelming as some of the larger museums can be.Written 27 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Really delicious lunch followed by one of the best shows we have seen here - 50s, 60s, and 70s music and a chance for a really good sing-a-long. A good fun afternoon out. Thoroughly recommended.Written 8 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- golouis99Jerusalem, Israel608 contributionsWe walked here for an hour on a bright but cool Sunday morning. Lots of paths and plenty to see and interest you if you like fresh air and green places. This is a very large green area in London and sign posting is not that good. But after we got confused we asked other people for directions (how to get to our next destination) and they were helpful. A fun outing.Written 22 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BronskiLondon, UK2 contributionsMy family and I (my husband, 9 year old, 4 year old and me) have been to the Kids Show Live a couple of times recently and they have been absolutely outstanding both times. Both magicians - PomPom the Magic Fox and Magic Dave - are masters of their craft, engaging both adults and children across the age groups present with their humour, stage presence, and of course, the kind of high quality magic that one would expect at the home of magic!
The set up is ideal for families, with enough time to get a drink, make a loo stop, and take in some of the fascinating magical history in the Devant room (the plasma ball was a big highlight for our two!)
What was particularly special for us was how far above and beyond the team went for our son, who is autistic. The team were incredibly helpful ahead of the event, and gave clear directions as to where to go and what to expect. No one batted an eyelid when I explained that he might leave partway through, and ensured we had seats at the very back of the theatre for a quick exit if need be. Our son was treated with dignity and care, and he has had two fantastic experiences.
Enormous thanks to the stewards/hosting teams too - Matt, Pete, Kaz, and Andy (so sorry if I’ve missed anyone!)Written 22 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's kind of incredible how much history he took us through, covering slavery and strikes, bombing and rebuilding, all delivered in a charming and witty way.
Would 100% recommend the guided tour if you visit!Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - SasunnachEdinburgh, UK97 contributionsThe Neasden Temple, or more properly the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, is apparently the first, traditional all stone temple [Mandir]in Europe. It certainly is impressive, even if it stands in a rather ordinary outer suburb of London, near Wembley.
At the time of building at the end of the last century, it was the largest Hindu Mandir outside of India. Made of Indian and Italian marble, Bulgarian limestone, Burmese teak and English oak, the materials are of the finest, the carvings exquisitely carved in India, imported and assembled here. The adjoining Haveli is a cornucopia of geometric, wood patterns, a little reminiscent of Moorish art.
The volunteers that manage the complex are friendly, welcoming and anxious to explain the building and their faith, which is rather bewildering with its somewhat garishly decorated Murti icons, ritually infused with the spirit of the divine. Vaut la visite? Well, that rather depends on your spiritual inclinations, but architecturally, it is pretty stunning.Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However it is smaller than I thought and only takes 20 minutes to go round. It is very peaceful though and relaxing. I reckon May is a good time to go as the garden looks its best.Written 26 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
