Srivats LakshmanNovember 4, 2019A very well maintained ship that’s a fascinating walk through. Great way to teach teens about WW2 & the Royal Navy. Not ideal for young children/older people as there any many ladders to climb.

Keksz NETMarch 15, 2013Very interesting place. This boat is huge, we have visited it today and it took ~ 2 hours to go through all decks, stairs and rooms. It will show you how the marines spent their days on the ship! Nice

Rob HoweOctober 24, 2015Really interesting. You get to explore the bowels of the ship well below the waterline. Lots of steep ladders. Wear grippy shoes & keep both hands free.Upvote7Downvote
Pink 386May 13, 2023Permanently docked on the Thames, lots to see as it took us 3 hours to see all 9 decks. It gives you a sense of what it must have been like. Amazing piece of history and definitely worth the money.UpvoteDownvote
LondonistJuly 29, 2010Don't leave this one to the tourists - it's really interesting and, given the size, actually quite good value. Don't wear a skirt (or kilt) though - the best bits are accessed via ladders.Upvote8Downvote
FilmsquareAugust 25, 2013Harry and his protectors, lead by Prof Moody, fly down the starboard side of HMS Belfast in the beginning of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007).
Upvote7Downvote- B LMarch 31, 2015Be prepared for lots of climbing. Entry fee is steep. Free for London pass holders. You'll get to see the life on a battleship.

Carl GriffinDecember 28, 2015Impressive 1930s battleship which saw action at D-Day and in the Korean War. So many interesting rooms to explore.UpvoteDownvote
Георгий ЮщенкоNovember 29, 2014Very good condition of the ship, friendly staff and useful audio guides. However, quite expensive entry tickets

Laura AbbottMay 22, 2016Interesting ship with engaging Audio Tour. Feels like you get to go everywhere on the ship. Not good if you don't have great mobility. Quite a lot of ladders if you want to see the engines.UpvoteDownvote
Kristina VDecember 10, 2018Highly recommend! I was very sceptical but the experience was worth the money.

Yarn LamApril 5, 2015Explore the whole ship! The wax figures inside really gives you an idea of what a sailor's life was like.

Martin TiedemannJuly 17, 20121 February: Its story is told through helpful guides, first-hand accounts of those who served on it and a chance to go below decks to see the cabins & engine rooms to get a sense of what life was likeUpvoteDownvote
Jose LopezFebruary 3, 2015The ship is huge and like a mini maze, different levels, the best parts are the deck and the captain cabinUpvoteDownvote
Very interesting. Most of ship is in original orientation so less mobile visitors may have difficulty on ladders and hatches.UpvoteDownvote

DavidJune 22, 2015Very comprehensive visit of a IIWW warship. All aspects of people's life on board are shown.UpvoteDownvote
Rebecca AddicoatJuly 18, 2012Come before 4pm. I find it rather disingenuous that they don't tell you they stop providing the audio guide after a certain time until after they take your full price entry fee.UpvoteDownvote
Greg WanlinAugust 14, 2013Brilliant, lots to see and do. Allow a good 4 hours for a thorough visit.UpvoteDownvote
Painted in dazzle camouflage used in WW2 to confuse the enemy as to where the bow/stern were. Google for more examples :)UpvoteDownvote
HISTORY UKFebruary 14, 2011This WW2 cruiser, now a tourist attraction, took part in the sinking of the German battleship Scharnhorst and in the D-Day landings. Her guns are aimed at an M1 service station 12.5 miles away.Upvote10Downvote
Michael WerleJuly 17, 2013The 90mins suggested on the website is a joke. Allow at least 2.5 hours.Upvote1Downvote
Must see for all people loving millitary history.UpvoteDownvote
