HMS Belfast

“Fascinating, especially for anyone with a grasp of naval history. Some parts of the ship are inaccessible for safety and/or conservation reasons. The audiovisual displays are excellent. The ship forms an excellent photographic platform for views of the city and the river. The volunteers are incredibly helpful. Be aware that the companionways are very steep, and need to be negotiated with caution; likewise, some of the compartments, especially the engine and boiler rooms, are incredibly cramped. Large backpacks are not a good idea, and unfortunately this also means that anyone with mobility issues is going to be severely limited as to what they can see and experience. Overall, thoroughly recommended. I believe that IWM offers a package deal on tickets for the Belfast, Duxford, and the War Rooms - if so, definitely check it out, as all of them are well worth visiting.”

“Went Sunday and was amazing! Did go visit back in 2023 and missed so much. This time went earlier and with my Dad, brother. Such a beautiful ship and fascinating! Defintely worth a visit and Id even go again for the price and things to see! Managed to explore the Captains, Admirals Decks which I missed previously. The views and history were well worth the trip! My Dad and brother loved it 💜💜 Even had a bite to eat at the cafe which was well stocked with all sorts. Everyone was so helpful and an enjoyable trip in London!”

“I came here to have a look round. It was an incredibly moving experience to see inside the ship on which HRH Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, had served. The ship was beautifully preserved, the information provided was excellent, and the food in the café was brilliant. I would definitely bring friends for a return visit if the opportunity arose.”
