Another must do in London. Panoramic views from the sky. The booking and other arrangements can be done via the website and it's quite smooth overall. The views from up top are stunning! Thames river, London bridge, tower bridge and Many of the legendary buildings can be seen. The design of the eye itself is pretty cool :) I'd strongly recommend this :)

I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the London Eye during my husband's birthday weekend! We decided to purchase tickets in advance using discount vouchers we found online, which turned out to be a great idea. Even though it was a busy day, our early arrival—30 minutes before our scheduled slot—ensured that we didn't face any waiting time. Staff was very friendly and cooperative. The entire family had an amazing time, and we got the chance to experience not just one, but two incredible performances, one was magic show and the other one was music show. The restroom was clean, though it's worth mentioning that there is a fee for using them. The weather was perfect, allowing us to spend a delightful 4 to 5 hours enjoying the stunning views and vibrant atmosphere. For those planning to visit with kids, I recommend bringing along some snacks and water to keep everyone energized. All in all, it was an unforgettable day.

The London Eye is an iconic modern marvel that offers a unique perspective of the city's skyline. Situated on the banks of the River Thames, this giant observation wheel is a must-visit attraction for anyone exploring London. The experience of riding the London Eye is nothing short of breathtaking. As you ascend slowly in one of the spacious glass capsules, you're treated to panoramic views of London's most famous landmarks, including Big Ben, the Shard, and St. Paul's Cathedral. The slow rotation ensures you have ample time to take in the sights, and the bird's-eye view of the bustling city below is both mesmerizing and tranquil. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, providing interesting insights into the history and geography of London throughout the journey. Whether you visit during the day to enjoy the city bathed in sunlight or at night when it's illuminated by thousands of lights, the view is equally enchanting. While the ticket prices may seem a bit steep, the London Eye delivers an unforgettable experience that's well worth the cost. It's an excellent way to gain a new perspective on London and create lasting memories. Whether you're a tourist or a local, a ride on the London Eye is an essential part of your London adventure.

Fantastic staff and attraction. Very convenient location and easy access. This is a very busy area, but it is well signed and easy to navigate. There are many services on site and you can enjoy the surroundings before and after the ride. The ride itself is fantastic and offers wonderful views of London - especially if you are a picture taker. The pricing is reasonable and you can also bundle with other attractions. We did find this a bit confusing, until we were helped by a friendly staff member. Well worth the time and cost. Amazing views of London especially the views from the top! Completely enjoyed the flight

It's London's must do tourist attraction. You can see for miles around and have a great view onto the Thames and houses of Parliament. It's always busy, so it always has a queue of tourists waiting to get on, but the queue is well managed and keeps moving all the time, as the eye doesn't actually stop turning, you are skillfully managed on and off the cabin as it moves slowly along the ground section. You can take bags on, which are checked by security, and take as many photos as you like. On a clear day, you can see as far as Scotland 😉.

Repeat visit after ~6 years. This time we bought advance tickets using some discount vouchers. Experience this time was much better as I think the overall crowd was smaller (not sure why). It was still plenty busy but the staff were quite good at guiding the people and sticking to the promised time slots which made the queue go quicker. The ride itself was as wonderful as last time. Thankfully the little rain earlier had cleared off and it was pretty clear for the duration. Excellent views as expected. Overall I think its a bit steeply priced (for repeat visits) but using discount vouchers made it reasonable. Definitely a must-do for first visit and in decent weather conditions!

Great tourist attraction. I'm pleased that pods are not overloaded with people. You have space to move about and take in the different 360-degree views of the capital. We've been lucky on the occasions we've ridden the eye and gad sunny and clear days. I think nighttime would also be an amazing experience. The mechanism is slow and smooth. You hardly feel the motion as this rotates, and the inside was clean and smelt fresh. It is surprising how high you feel when you reach the top, so if you struggle with heights, there's seating in the centre of the pod if needed. This attraction is permanently busy, and rightly so. A great attraction to visit and experience in London.

Super cool experience. Got to see so much of London from this height! Recommend going with a friend, especially if you have any fear of heights. The line was long but moved fast. And there's even a chance to get a photo of you via green screen during the wait. Highly recommend you get tickets prior. Just makes it easier.

A must do/see! London eye was such a cool experience! Book in advance and choose the flex pass for a few more pounds. We rode the London Eye at night and the view was amazing! I’m sure you can see more during the daytime , but the lit up London view was pretty magical! Heads up - you’re probably going to want to buy everything at the London Eye gift shop. But if you walk just across the way to the other gift shop (literally, right across) you will save some money and have more souvenir options.

The line's quite long but it's worth the wait. I really recommend to buy the tickets online. Amazing view. You can see the landmarks of London clearly inside the capsule and there's also seats inside if you ever get tired of standing.

This is one of the best attractions in London! We went at night and had a pleasant experience looking at the city lights. The ride itself was safe and slow moving. It was definitely elderly friendly. They don’t overcrowd people into each “pod”. It’s pricey, but worth every penny.

The London Eye is the Most amazing experience. It is accessible within walking distance of the Tube stations and the view is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I have had the privilege of doing this outing on the London Eye a few times and each time is more amazing than the next. Don't miss out on a few hours to enjoy. The tickets are available on line and make sure to book the fast track pass. Much quicker and easier than the queue.

The view is nice, but the windows are not very clean and the reflection of the light limits the quality of the photos that can be taken. The tickets have an entry time, but the queue control is not the best and you could spend two hours in the line. If you want to queue less (20 minutes) you have to buy the ticket that costs 15 pounds more. The ride takes approximately 25 minutes.

It was an amazing experience looking the whole London city on the top of Eye 🎡 👀. You can see Big Ben, House of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, The Shard, Tower Bridge and many more. The only thing that was concerning, waiting queue was too long on the weekend especially during this summer time. I was tired standing for an hour and affected my experience to fully enjoy. Also, the position of sun 🌞 during that time ⏲️ , just between afternoon and evening facing towards me and sun rays blocking the other side to see freely. This is why I would recommend a time of early morning and the time during sunset 🌇 is even better (of course not during long summer days because of early closing time). In the end, I would love to see evening view hopefully during the next visit.

Just look at these photos; it's worth the money you pay to ride the wheel. It's breathtaking. My advice is to buy the ticket in advance and opt for fast pass. We were there last Christmas, and it took us less than 5 minutes to get on. It costs a bit more, but it's worth every euro you spend. It's essential to go on it if you're in London.

Leisure walk by the riverbank. A great place for photos taking. Along the river walk there are many make shift stalls that sells food, snacks, desserts and souvenirs. The day we went were cloudy hence many photos taken does not turn out to our expectations. Very crowded too hence photos taking are a bit challenging. London Eye, Big Ben and Tower Bridge are within walking from one another.

I can't describe how the view from the London eye appealed to me. Although it is quite an expensive experience, it is well worth it. Beautiful view and wonderful photos. Short waiting time and one round takes about 30 minutes. You can see the river Thames, the British Parliament and Big Ben. I recommend it!

One of the best viewing decks in London. The total trip is around 45-60 mins. The most preferred time to visit is during sunset because you will get to see some amazing sunset views. The night view from a distance is just majestic. Book your tickets online and u can select the slot of your preference.

Twas a very busy day but the queue moved quickly. Great experience, hardly felt like the wheel was moving hence I was relaxed the whole considering that I'm afraid of heights. Take note you have to be quick swift when getting on and off the ride as it doesn't stop, I saw very old people get on with fair amount of ease. We used our phones to take pictures but there's an option to take one before and as the ride ends and this is charged separately.

We booked the champagne experience. Well worth the extra dollars! Our host Beatrice was absolutely amazing! Very friendly welcoming and professional. She is very knowledgeable and can take a cracker of a photo! The actual ride was pretty awesome views were unreal. Lucky enough to go on a beautiful day :)

Enjoy 360° panoramic views of London. Plan ahead and pay for the Fast Pass, it is 100% worth it to skip the long lines. Once inside, the ride around is about 30-40 minutes. There’s a bench in the middle to sit and enjoy or you can stand around to get a closer look. Fun experience for both adults and children.

One of the highlights of London. Well worth the price. Book your tickets in advance. Even with a ticket, you have to wait a while. The cabins offer stunning 360 degree views of the city below.

The queue moved fast. The breathtaking views made it worth the wait. Took the students on a school trip, and they were captivated by the expansive scenery, couldn't stop gazing at it.

My first experience from inside. The view is very unique. I saw the city from a different perspective. That was really nice. The glass of the capsule was well prepared for people who like to take pictures. There is nothing wrong with this attraction except the entrance fee😁 Thank you🤩

The line was long but moved very quickly so it didn’t feel long at all. The eye moves at a slower pace so it is not scary getting on or off while it is moving. They do stop for people that need extra time to move. There is a small, very limited seating area in the middle of the pod, so if you are the last to enter you might not get a seat. The entire pod is clear so you can get a full clear view from every angle. There is a photo at the end and the side of the photo is labeled in the pod. It is a nice tourist experience.

Excellent experience. Beautiful place outside and inside. Many interesting collections. Enough to do here for a whole day.. Download the app and you have your personal audio guide for all the exhibits throughout the museum. Food and drink is sold on site, and a nice gift shop to get yourself a memoir.

Some of the most precious objects in the world gathered in one place for the pleasure of the public. An incredible archive of human history, a life affirming glimpse into the past and an outstanding reminder of the depth of man's ingenuity. Don't miss it. If your time is limited, plan ahead. Identify the objects or exhibits you want to see. A week wouldn't be long enough, to take the time, to appreciate every incredible treasure there is to see.

Fantastic experience! The staff were very helpful and the displays and exhibits were marvellous. Everything was laid out logically and spaciously. The only negative point is there isn’t a lot of seating and it can be quite tiresome. More benches and seats are definitely needed.

Absolutely divine place! Everyone must visit The British Museum at least ones in a lifetime. But to be honest one whole day will be not enough to explore all rooms and exhibitions. We will return! This is an outstanding experience with super comfortable amenities, delicious food, great rest zones, a lot of entertainment for kids. Can’t describe my love to The British Museum enough!

Amazing experience and all for free! The history of the museum and its additions is a story within itself. The Egyptian section really tapped into imagining what life was like for them. The original museum building being staged how it was originally designed to be used was an insight into society and their interpretation of other cultures at that time. Absolutely fantastic and a Covid safe place to visit. It's hard to describe all the magnificent collections, you'll need to visit yourself 🙂

A wonderful experience on a very wet London day. We arrived mid morning and we were expecting to queue but we went in easily despite the security inspection. There is no cost so no awful queue like the Louvre. We were able to leave coats, bags and umbrellas at the cloakroom for a very reasonable price. This freed us up to enjoy the museum. It is huge! We got a free map then decided to buy the guidebook and study it before setting out. We went to the 3rd floor first and booked for lunch at the restaurant. We then did the 3rd floor which is vast before an EXCELLENT, late lunch. Then down to the ground floor galleries. Unfortunately, the Parthenon galleries were closed but there was so much to see that it really did not matter. Keep some energy: The gift shops and book shops were amazing but since we are travelling light, we had to resist. We made a donation because this fantastic museum is still free. Enjoy!

As a big history buff, the British Museum certainly didn't disappoint me. I was at the museum with my family, and it was an experience I will never forget. Even though there were a lot of people and the museum seemed a bit cluttered, once you got to the areas where there weren't so many people, it was a dream come true for me. Beautiful and containing descriptions, I spent several hours in the museum. I liked the passage of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Japan the best. But the most interesting exhibit was undoubtedly Rosetta Stone. Although I understand that for someone who is not so interested in history, the museum may seem boring. For me, it was an experience ! won't soon forget and if l'm ever in London again, I'll definitely go again.

It’s a giant museum. There are many floors and many sessions. There are many samples from different continents and regions of the world (I wonder how they all ended up there?). You need almost a whole day to be able to see everything very calmly and absorb all the information. However it is a unique opportunity and you must do it, even more so that admission is free.

Love this place, wish I could spend more time in this place. It is quite big and I only toured a portion of it. First of all it is free so expect a lot of tourists. Large atrium with a great gift shop. The artifacts are all on the side of the building, and they are nicely preserved. I really liked the Egyptian, Greek and Asian artifacts. Bathroom situation is not great, so plan accordingly.

I keep coming back here as it is such a wonderful museum. There is so much to see and you could spend an entire day exploring. It's an absolute labyrinth so a map is advisable. It was a hot day and the museum was quite warm so dress accordingly. There are some temperature controlled areas and seating throughout, should you need a rest or cool off

Our third museum visit on the same day. This was always our go to museum on past visits to London. There is so much to learn and rediscover here, and we love the Assyrian and Egyptian exhibits. Also, the huge covered roof creates such a wonderful place, with the two cafe dining areas bookending the souvenir store. The reading room upstairs is also a must visit. Entrance is free but you need to book your date and time online in advance.

The British Museum houses an extensive and diverse collection of history, culture, and art around the world. The exhibits are well-organized and provide insightful context. We spent about 4h walking around and absorbing history. You can definitely spend more time because it's huge and requires a lot of walking. Entry to the museum is free! Would recommend doing homework on what you'd like to see the most and plan your route before your visit. We took a map and clearly indicated "must see" which made it easier to navigate. Overall, it's a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!

Amazing place to visit, just not happy about the booking time slots, still have to join the long queue, there is no separate queue for advance bookings. Also when you book online you have to pay donations although it says it's free. But people on the day just join the queue and no-one put any money in the donation boxes. So what's the point booking in advance. I will say just go on the day join the queue and off you go. Great collections from different parts of the world especially Egypt.

Fantastic museum! If you're visiting with children under 16, go to the family centre (-1) to get a free locker to put your coats and other stuff away. You will also find a space to sit and eat your lunch.

I've wanted to come here for quote sometime. Some fantastic artifacts on display here spanning different cultures and time periods. I really recommend but be prepared if go during school holiday a huge queue outside as you have to queue to have your bag checked before entering. So much to see you could spend absolutely hours here. I can't comment on the cafe as I didn't visit there but a stall outside a had an amazing late from.

Super worth visiting, a great collection. Staff (security at the entrance) super helpful and friendly. Queue can take a bit long because it’s very busy, you need to book your tickets before hand (but it’s free). If you like to really read and aprons the items, save something around 2-4hr for this visit. For those who carry big backpacks, there is a shopping right in front of the main entrance that you can leave you luggage for £6. Highly recommend!

A vast amount of historical heritage in one place. Many civilizations, an immense museum. Be prepared to spend over 6 hours to visit the museum; it's commendable that there are places to buy food and drinks within the museum. Book your tickets before the visit to enter more quickly, and also, do not carry a backpack as it will expedite your entry; you won't have to go through a check.

Have been many times before but went to see the temporary “Legion, Life in the Roman Army” exhibit. Totally spaced it and didn’t preorder the free timed entry and had to kill some time at the Starbucks across the street. Once in I explored some of the favorites - Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Japan, and China. The Legion exhibit was interesting. There were some wonderful looking artifacts and the displays were well arranged. I liked the idea of following along in the foot steps of a single person. My one complaint is with the patrons, not the museum - when the place is full and there are others looking at the same display, don’t be thoughtless and constant in front of the thing like it’s your own little party. Be aware and be considerate.

Great day out, lots of history and beautiful views of the castle and Tower Bridge and a nice cafe inside. You can follow a guided tour or purchase an audio guide, though neither is particularly needed as there is plenty of information displayed in all parts of the castle. Not really suitable for buggies or wheelchairs as there is lots of stair climbing involved.

Admission was a little steep but totally worth it. We paid under £30 per person, but it varies by date and what website you purchase through. We bought tickets in person and not in advance. As soon as we walked in there was a beefeater starting a complimentary tour. He was very funny and informative, and explain the history of the castle and the surrounding areas with a lot of detail given to the history of executions here. There is also an audio tour available at an additional cost. We left his tour to go explore by ourselves and we saw the king's Chambers which were fascinating and included a marker in the chapel where King Henry VI was assassinated. Awesome. There were active guards marching around who still live inside the castle. Actors were doing a play in the courtyard by the White Tower. There were plenty of bathrooms and a couple of cool gift shops. You could easily spend three or more hours here. As with most attractions in the city, parking could be a problem but we did not have a car.

Amazing! The Beefeater was just brilliant. Everything about this place was perfect. Amazing day out with tons of history and stories. All ages will enjoy this place. I was on a company excursion, so I can’t tell you about waiting times etc.

It was a wonderful experience and a great place to visit. The history of the place is amazing. It is advisable to take the guided tour as the guide really knows his stuff and gives you some great insights into the history of the place and also gives good advice on what to visit next as the place is a really big place. You really need at least 4 to 5 hours to see the place properly and to learn about the history of the place and to take some lovely pictures. Well worth a visit.

A great place to come and and explore some of the history of London. Came here on a flying visit so didn't get a lot of time for a detailed visit although I would highly recommend. There's lots of interesting facts as you work your way around the map given to you as well you order yours tickets at the office. The crown jewels is another area definitely worth a visit although no photos are allowed to be taken here. Will definitely come back again for a more detailed visit.

Fascinating history, guided tours are amazing and definitely worth while so you can learn more about what you are looking at. Lots of information around the tower though. Make sure you look at the map so you don't miss any sections as it can get quite confusing as to where you've been. The gift shop is full of lovely souvenirs.

Absolutely worth a visit make sure you’ve got the legs for it there’s a lot of walking to do. We did the 45 minute tour guide well worth it. Saw the guards and importantly visited the white tower and the Crown Jewels. Unfortunately we got there later than expected and then found out the tower closed at 16:30. If you haven’t been go visit it is a must see my 9 year immensely enjoyed it.

I came for my second visit in a little under 50 years! I was in awe of the architecture of the building and at how deceivingly big it was inside. I came along with a local community group and we took a tour with Wayne, a resident Beefeater. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour! After eating our packed lunch, we decided to take a look at the crown jewels. The queue was quite long but it moved pretty fast. As we were waiting, we were greeted with the amazing views around the tower grounds. It was a tad cold and windy but I'm sure it's beautiful in the summer. Going in to see the crown jewels, I was a little disappointed at the way it was displayed. It was quite dark and sparse inside. The crowns themselves were amazing, such beautiful jewels. I would have liked to take a bit more of a trip around the other areas but on a quieter day. That's the only thing I don't enjoy, too many people around.

A very interesting place to visit. the place is steeped in history. We all read about it in textbooks and saw it in movies. Incredible feeling. The treasure chest is simply amazing. Crown of the Queen! Cool! Very cool staff. And these crows)))) I recommend without hesitation! Use the audio guide.

A must see for any London travelers interested in its rich history. Enjoy this amazing castle and all of its nooks of deep history. There are a lot of steps so keep this in mind. It's easy to get tickets and although there are a lot of people, it's easy to navigate throughout. Tons of amazing photo opportunities. Have fun!

This is a beautiful site to see. This is where the Crown Jewels are held and was a big fortress!! I mostly came here just to see the Crown Jewels, even though some of them were out due to the Coronation of Charles III, but this place was an amazing place to visit. But this use to be, and still is, a military fortress. A little fun fact, during WWI, the Tower of London did military training, even though it was still open to the public visiting the place. I just find that extremely interesting. The Tower of London is one staple of London history, British history, and Royal history. The The Royal Family has their Crowned Jewels here where you can see them on display. Dating back to 1066, but made famous by William I (William the Conqueror) when he moved here in 1078. Kings William I (William the Conqueror), King Henry III, and King Richard I were living here at one point all adding to the historical site. The Tower of London has been a fortress for the majority of its time, but I found interesting is that it was used as a prison until WWII, with soldiers training here with the prisoners on a different side of the site. You can go see the Crowned Jewels here, which were amazing to see (there's no photography while seeing the Crowned Jewels). I truly enjoy walking the grounds here and seeing some of the Crowned Jewels the British Royal Family has to offer.

One of the main tourist attractions. We were here on a weekday in September. Although it was quite busy, there were no queues and it didn’t feel crowded. Extensive collection of weapons and armor, and interesting history of the place. The animal statues made of wire are awesome!

Amazing tourist attraction of this wonderful place,it is one of the most visited places nowadays since the Royal Jewels are guarded here. The Royal jewels are amazingly displayed, and the history of them is well explained all along the place. Big queue for the Crown Jewels once you got inside the Tower, but well worth the wait. I suggest everything try to come early in the morning around the 8:30 slot. It will not be crowded at that time. There are lots of things to see inside the tower. The Cafe inside is a great place to take relief. The exit is beside the Thames with awesome views of Tower Bridge. We thought it will take 2-3 hours but we spend almost 5 hrs. The fortress is maintained properly. The audio guide helps you a lot when you are in. The Ammunition department is amazing. I will definitely come back to visit them again whenever possible.

Fantastic history. Beef eaters were brilliant at informing us of the history of the place. He made it so entertaining. Made us laugh. There are many stairs to climb. Looking at the beautiful crowns and museums to walk around were educational. Worth visiting.

A wonderful place to visit when you are in London. It covers a little bit of the history of the city, military, history, and a unique look at the growth of the monarchy throughout history, including viewings, and tours of the royal jewels. There is a lot of information about the architecture of the building, and the views are amazing. I would highly recommend it to people and families.

Amazing place to visit! We had recently come from Ireland and to hear the different pieces of British and Irish history intertwine was really neat! I highly recommend paying the extra bit for the audio tour once you get inside. It helps give you a little bit extra that you can’t get from just reading all the signs. I also recommend getting there before noon so you have enough time to see everything!

It is a very cool experience. You get to step back in time, seeing things from a long time ago. There is a lot of history and information to read and take in, so many cool things. I would recommend buying tickets in advance for 9am. I was dropped off at about 8:05 and was able to get some good pictures of the exterior of the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. There are a few coffee shops around, so you can grab some coffee before the line opens. I got in line at about 8:30 and was towards the front. I would recommend going to the Crown Jewels first as you will have a bit of space before the crowds decend on the attraction and there is a long wait. Even if you have a voucher for a guide book, I would get it after. If you have a voucher for a guide book, the place is on the right hand side of the building, the audio guides are on the left. So, if there is a huge line on the left, don't worry, you can slip in and get the book. The books are in several languages, and there is a option for the kids book.

Hadn't been in around 20 years, was pleasantly surprised that there were many activities for both children and adults. The crown jewels exhibition is better than I remembered. Would recommend spending around 4h here in total.

If you visit London, you cannot say that you have been there if you have not visited the Tower of London. This is a wonderful fortress close of the Thames River, very well conserved, and has beautiful inner views. It is highly recommended to buy the tickets online because there are long lines of people waiting to buy tickets. I loved the place and highly recommend it.

A great day out. Its worth getting there for opening and going straight to see the Crown jewels. That way there will be minimal queues and you may get to spend longer in the crowns room than you would later on. The rest of the Tower is great and an amazing deep dive in the English history. You really should go at least once in your life. If you do everything it’s easily a whole day.

The Tower of London boasts a rich history and stunning architecture. While the highlight is undoubtedly the Crown Jewels, the site offers a glimpse into England's royal past. However, for those seeking more diverse attractions, the experience might feel somewhat limited. Nevertheless, the Crown Jewels alone make it a memorable visit. Book your tickets in advance before you visit.

Very enjoyable day out with lots of interesting facts and history about the people who lived - and died - there. Well worth the ticket price. Downside: no restaurant or cafe, only food and drink kiosks with outside seating

We had cold, extremely windy weather with spots of rain for our guided tour (early April) but our Beefeater was very entertaining. It was so fun roaming around everywhere! Felt like a maze, with little hallways, lots of spiral staircases and bridges to cross. Gorgeous views of the Tower Bridge, too.

Sadly I didn't get to go into the tower it self due to time problems and the ever occurring problem of me being broke. But the outside was more then worth my while. The whole castle is massive. Like way bigger then I thought it would be. And the architecture and surrounding views made for a lovely stroll through London.

Really enjoyed visiting the Tower of London. I visited with my daughters year as a school trip, so unfortunately our look around was a lot more rushed than I would have liked, but loved what I saw. Seeing the armor for the kings & horses, the weaponry & where torturing happened was great. Walking around the site where Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Jane Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey & others were executed & seeing the Traitors Gate where people would have come into the grounds & the towers where they would have been kept was brilliant. Seeing the Crown Jewels was amazing. They were so beautiful. The craftsmanship of the clothing, armour, jewelry, flags & tapestries was breathtaking. Seeing the guards on patrol was awesome & there are lots of people around who you can talk to and ask about the Tower to get more of a historical experience. There's an interactive room where you can get involved with things in there which was great and the chapel was beautiful. There are some steep stairs and spiral staircases in places which some might find difficult, but all-in-all I really had a great time. Seeing as our visit was hugely restricted due to it being a school trip, I'd love to give back with my family for a whole day.

Wow, the Tower of London was even more incredible than I imagined! From the moment I walked through the gates, I felt transported back in time. The Yeoman Warders were fantastic storytellers, bringing the castle's rich history to life with humor and enthusiasm. The Crown Jewels were, of course, a highlight – it's hard to believe they're real! But I also loved exploring the White Tower, wandering the medieval walls, and even spotting a few ravens (those cheeky birds!). Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a unique London experience, the Tower of London is a must-see. Just be prepared to be amazed! Tips for your visit: * Get your tickets online beforehand to skip the queues, especially during peak season. * Take advantage of the free Yeoman Warder tours – they're the best way to learn about the castle's secrets. * Allow plenty of time to explore – there's so much to see and do. * Wear comfortable shoes – you'll be doing a lot of walking. I hope this helps! Have a fantastic time at the Tower of London!

The building, first listed as Grade II in 1970, was upgraded to Grade I in 2011. In 2013, it was announced that 55 Broadway would be converted into luxury apartments, once London Underground moved operations from the building in 2015 to their new headquarters in the Olympic Park, Stratford, London. In May 2014, it was announced that the architects, TateHindle, would lead the redevelopment and, in June 2015, planning permission and listed building consent was granted: however, this was not implemented and the planning permission expired in June 2018. In September 2019, a long-term lease of the property was sold by Transport for London for £120 million to Integrity International Group, founded by Tony Matharu. In May 2020, it was announced that Blue Orchid Hotels, a subsidiary of Integrity International, would convert the structure into a luxury hotel. (Wiki) Let's hope they don't change much of its beauty..

At first I was worried I wouldn’t be able to follow the system or get myself lost. Which I did, end up going the wrong way. But it’s actually so easy to follow, it’s good to make a few errors as then you will be conscious of ensuring you’re on the right tube. London Underground is amazing and it is really easy to get around and see places. I would walk around central London. Use the underground when going further afield. The trains are very regular, you will find they can get very busy, packed. Don’t feel you need to squeeze in, just wait for the next train as it will add to your experience and enjoy it better. As you would anywhere just be vigilant of your surroundings. I felt very safe, as a solo traveler I was very surprised.

As a visitor, you can’t ask for a better system to get about to major museums, etc. You get to ride with both the working class and executives alike. Iconic London ! Takes a little getting used to, if you need to travel in the City, it’s the way to go. As a visitor, we purchased a Visitor Oyster Card online, it’s a fantastic deal. Recommended.

This is a good way to get around London. The new trains and updated stations are good. It is easy to get a ticket and to get around. However, the ventilation is poor, horrible, hot, and sweaty. It makes for an unbearable and uncomfortable ride. However, some of the trains and train stations have proper ventilation and air but most do not. I only take one train with no transfers, which is all that I can bear, and walk just to be outside where I can breath easy. I caution you to only ride when necessary and recommend you walk outside if able.

Coming from Manchester we need this in the city.... Yes its a bit dim, dark and dirty.... But what a brilliant, cheap and quick way to get around....

These shops are all closed for good. I could rattle on about the good old days, (people actually pay to hear about it) and a book would be better; it would take a book, pdf, file, whatever to explain how much it has changed. Point? Many but the main one is: Thanks to Bid Rigging the same people keep getting rich fulfilling contracts that do nothing but cosmetic change. I'd rather see the old retailers (driven out by sky high rent, business taxes, business rates that the the big corporate retailers. Btw/ if you come to London be prepared to lug your suitcase up and down many flights of stairs. Of course the bureaucracy will point to "no step access" (only lawsuits by disabled brought that in) and there are more lifts (elevators), yes this is better than nothing - - lucky find one lift 20 years ago. The old, dirty, extremely noisy rolling stock in Central London is the same. Recently you could still find "MetroCamell" 1973. John Lennon probably on one. Sure, they Spent £16 Billion over budget and late) on a new Elizabeth Line. It's a nice reflection on what we have - - tourists are in central London for the sights, not off to Abby Wood (the other one) and to have them riding the clittering, clanking, clattering collection of caligenous junk - - (think Wizard of Oz to the Tin Man) is a disgrace.

Cheap fast efficient travel for our sightseeing trips. Easy to use gates and pricing simple capped and taken from our banks.

Crowded, stuffy place, too many people in London, but its easy to use, it gets you to your destination on time

It always takes my breath away. I love to go in and find my favourite paintings even if I have only got 45 minutes! The joy that this treasured building is free to enter makes it possible to do this - and makes me so proud. I used to go straight for the museums…. Till the first time I went in! I was stunned by the depth of Turner’s paintings and the sheer size of some….. and the way they glow. Pictures cannot do it justice. Always try and make time for the gift shop. Look up at the ceilings…. Look down at the floors. Magnificent.

So huge, and wonderfully designed. The most famous pieces are scattered around which I think works well for the museum, as in places like the Louvre there isn't much done to prevent bottlenecking, whilst here I was able to see well known paintings easily without overcrowding, so I was able to enjoy them too! The spaces are very light and open. The exhibition on St Francis was very interesting, too. Like many museums in the UK the admission is free, and it would certainly be worth a visit even if it wasn't!

One of the best galleries in London with loads and loads of art works. You can spend a whole day there because there is that much to see. Make sure to take a note of the must see ones before you visit so that you don't miss out on them.

Wonderful museum. It was a school holiday, so there were lots of children there as well. Incredibly well presented. Room after room of beautiful masterpieces. We could have spent two full days there.

I mean, you kind of know what you're getting into when it comes to London's great collection of art. You'll find art from each period over the last 500 years, names you'll recognize both big and small. Plan to spend at least an hour, and try to avoid a busy time if you can as it does get crowded. If you are going during a busy period, then definitely buy tickets in advance.

Lovely museum with free admission, though do prebook a ticket so you can skip the long line waiting to buy tickets. Well laid out, so fairly easy to follow rooms in sequence and not miss anything. Raphael is still the best in my opinion, and he didn’t disappoint here. One of the best art collections in the world - do not miss.

One of the best art museums located in the heart of London at the famous Trafalgar square. You have to book tickets in advance online, however, entry is totally free and in case of non rush hours they do not even check your tickets which mean you don't have to stand in queue as well. In addition to the portraits and the paintings the architecture of the gallery from the inside is really wonderful. Recommended for a long visit for art lovers but even if you are not an art lover - still recommended for a quick visit if you're in Trafalgar Square.

This art museum is beautiful, the building and the paintings are great. The gallery is free to visit! They could easily charge £1 or £2 per person entrance fee for maintaining this property and it’s collections. Anyway, thanks to the British government for being so generous! I would surly recommend this place for any art lovers.

The National Gallery in London is huge, has extraordinary priceless paintings, ample seating, lovely architecture and admission is free to everyone. Of course, it merits 5 stars. Bathrooms close around 20 minutes to closing, so time wisely. I had taken a bus to Leicester Square, but it is easier to go to Trafalgar Square to locate the museum.

Lovely experience for me and my teenage Son. Really nice setting and amazing paintings. Always wanted to see these legendary exhibitions. I would 100% recommend to pre book your place/tickets as the queues were insane!

A vast collection of paintings by most renowned artists from Europe is on display here. Arts enthusiasts and professionals would enjoy going through these paintings. Please note, If you’re carrying a backpack, the security team would ask you to wear it on your front door.

It's a lovely location with many priceless works of art. The best part is that it's free. It is well worth your time to reserve a shift, or little more than four hours, so that you may take advantage of everything the National Gallery has to offer. Yes, the structure itself is a work of art; take your time and appreciate each picture, each tale, each room.

The National Gallery of London offers an incredible array of artworks, showcasing the talents of masters like Monet, Rousseau, and Van Gogh. The fact that admission is free is truly remarkable, allowing anyone to appreciate these masterpieces without financial barriers. While tickets aren't required, the option to make a donation supports the gallery's ongoing efforts. Overall, it provides a great experience for art enthusiasts and visitors alike.

Incredible experience at national gallery!! Great paintings, really well maintained galleries, very clean and a lot of benches to rest and enjoy the paintings further. The gallery is vast and there's always so much to learn about the portraits themselves and even the little shop has a choice selection of good stuff often at decent prices.

A great place to visit especially for those who is into art. The national gallery is such a beautiful building and can be visited for free. It is completely accessible with lifts for anyone who needs it, including prams. Some exhibits can cost money to visit and you should check before you go in case you would like to pay to see something extra.

We were at the Gallery on a weekday (Monday). We couldn't buy a ticket in advance as there were no free slots. We stood in a queue, but it took no more than 10 minutes. The expositions in the gallery are divided into sectors, very convenient navigation. I recommend a visit. Also, I recommend visiting the room with the work of Leonardo Davinci. The hall opens after 11:00 as the painting is very sensitive to light. Photo attached)

i love it! one of the best displays i’ve ever seen. mainly because the description given are not just pure facts with painter name, but a clear outline of the paint work + storyline to explain the painting. it gives life to the work done. also, some of the paintings are quite thought provoking!

What's not to like? A superb collection of some of the finest paintings in the world. I used to wander to the gallery when I was younger and ga\e in awe at the incredible skill and artistry of the painters. I hadn't been back for so many years that I had forgotten just how great this gallery is. I cannot recommend it enough.

Another iconic place to visit in London. There are two sections here, one is paid, tickets available online. The other area is open to all visitors for no entree fees. We get to see different form of art from across the world. It's beautiful , well preserved and a good source of learning and inspiration for all the art enthusiasts and others.

I had a great time exploring the National Gallery in London. The variety of artists and their works on display is truly impressive. Each artwork has its own story, and I found myself getting completely absorbed, feeling inspired by the creativity and history around me. I easily spent an hour just wandering, looking at the paintings, and reading about them. There's so much to see that I could have spent even longer there. Whether you're an art enthusiast or just looking for a culturally enriching experience, the National Gallery is definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is great for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in art and get a glimpse of different eras and styles. Highly recommended for a fulfilling and inspiring visit!

Super place for a family outing! The large number of exhibits combined with their diversity will provide hours of sightseeing. We spent more than 3h and had to move quickly. The opportunity to see the greatest works of painting up close makes this a must-see place while in London.

If you are a connoisseur of art then this place is a must visit for you. They have a beautiful collection. Many great artists' works are on display here and it's completely free (expect some special displays which are tickted). I spent a wonderful day here and would recommend this place to anyone who has an eye for art.

Free and worth your time. There are works of the masters you will recognize- Van Gogh , Monet, and Rembrandt. It’s also incredibly curated with incredibly kind staff that will answer any question. A London must do. (I didn’t have a ticket, there is a no ticket free line I only waited 10 minutes)

Absolutely worth it! The building itself is amazing with a stunning interior design. If you are an art enthusiast, then the art work here is a must! Great collection of paintings from the best art pieces throughout the centuries. Highly recommended. As for always British museums, this one is also free.

I’m not a museum-goer, so this review is from the point of view of someone who got outvoted on what to do. Turns out, this place was actually pretty cool. Seeing some of these 10 million dollar-plus paintings in person was incredible.

I love it! Amazing gallery to learn more about British history, full with beautiful paintings and portraits. The architecture is wonderful too and it’s free 😄 You only pay for some special exhibitions and you can have guided tours for free

What a treat!! A wonderful collection. This was a great opportunity to see amazing works for free. I love this concept. We're students and often skip museums because of the cost. There was a reasonable amount of people and we didn't experience long lines.

It is a beautiful place full of precious pieces of art. And best of all, it’s free. It is very worthwhile for you to book a shift, or just over 4 hours to be able to enjoy everything that the National Gallery has to offer. Don’t pass quickly, but admire each painting, every story and every room, because yes, the building is a masterpiece apart.

My wife was taking part in a sketching class outside whilst I wandered around inside! Who's who of painters covering 500+ years from the incredible fine detail of Canaletto's paintings of Venice to the broad brush strokes of Van Gogh. Free entry, just took a few minutes to get through the bag check. Also a bit of a queue for a free special exhibition - The Last Caravaggio.

Never been before and will definitely be going again on next visit to London. We took 1.5 hours and only got round about 1/4 so it's most of a full day to really do the whole place. There is a small lift which can easily take wheelchair or prams, enough space around exhibits as well to get around We did not have tickets so had to go to back entrance, queue went down quickly, just standard bag checks.

Worth a visit if you are an art lover- some beautiful pieces from many famous artists such as Van Gogh and Monet. Can definitely get busy in rooms with the more famous paintings, some patience was required to be able to view and admire some but definitely worth the wait!

Super super super recommended! Arm yourself with comfortable shoes and clothes because it will take between 3 and 4 hours, but make sure you make time for this incredible gallery! So well organised, so full of beauty and such lovely staff!

Firstly, although the staff were great at sorting me out when I didn't have a paper ticket and just one on my phone, it is not good that paper tickets are needed (and they printed mine out). In today's age and ecological crisis, paper should not be needed. They need to sort that. There is no wheelchair access that I could see. Lots of stairs both up and down so be aware! There's also not a huge amount to see in the towers themselves. Considering this is not a free attraction, I would expect more. Having said that, DO go to the engine rooms. That was excellent and informative. Well worth the trip. Overall, just about worth it for the price. Don't make it your big trip of the day though. It's fun but short.

“Visiting Tower Bridge in London was an absolute delight! From the moment I set foot on this iconic landmark, I was captivated by its grandeur and historical significance. The majestic structure, with its towering towers and intricate Victorian architecture, truly exemplifies the architectural marvels of the past. As I strolled along the high-level walkways, I was treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the River Thames and the cityscape beyond. The glass floors added an exhilarating touch, allowing me to marvel at the bustling traffic passing below my feet. It was an experience that made me feel both connected to the city’s vibrant energy and humbled by its rich history. Inside the bridge’s exhibition, I was immersed in its fascinating story through interactive displays and informative exhibits. Learning about the construction and engineering feats behind Tower Bridge deepened my appreciation for this iconic landmark. The highlight, of course, was witnessing the bridge open up to let a passing ship through—an awe-inspiring moment that reminded me of its vital role in facilitating maritime trade. The staff at Tower Bridge were friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions and provide insights into its heritage. Their passion for the bridge’s legacy was evident, making the visit even more enjoyable. Overall, my visit to Tower Bridge was an unforgettable experience. It’s a must-see attraction for anyone visiting London, offering a perfect blend of history, architecture, and breathtaking views. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply seeking a memorable experience, Tower Bridge will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.” I hope you find this review helpful!

It's a must visit historic place in the centre of London. Very old and Iconic place. The beauty of the bridge can be seen from long distance. I feel everyone should get a ticket and must see the engine room along with the history of the tower from day one. There is a lot of information provided at the top of the bridge. When you walk on the glass way you will definitely get goosebumps. The place is always crowded so when you visit please make sure you have done the advance tickets booking as on arrival the queue will be quite long and you will end up waiting in line for an hour or more. If you want to take more pics and make reels better come early in the morning so it will be very less crowded. When you go inside the tower at multiple places washrooms are available. In short I must visit the place.

Undoubtedly a main photo spot in London, Tower Bridge stands as one of the city's most iconic landmarks, attracting visitors from across the globe. Its majestic structure, flanked by the iconic towers, creates an unforgettable backdrop for photographs. As one of the biggest attractions in London and a globally recognized symbol, it offers countless picture-perfect spots, whether capturing its silhouette against the skyline, witnessing its mesmerizing evening illumination, or simply savoring the grandeur of this architectural gem. With its remarkable history, striking design, and ample photo opportunities, Tower Bridge rightfully stands among the world's most celebrated and photographed attractions

Tower Bridge, standing just beyond the Tower of London, is more than just a bridge; it’s a journey through London’s heart. A short stroll across this iconic structure offers breathtaking views (yes, in a good way; enter Seinfeld reference) and a sense of history. Crossing over the Thames, you’ll find yourself on a scenic walkway, a perfect vantage point for soaking in panoramic sights. From here, the Tower of London looms impressively, while the London Bridge and the sprawling cityscape stretch out beyond. It’s a spot where the beauty of London is seen and felt. Tower Bridge is a inexpensive gateway to some of the most picturesque views.

No visit to London can ever be complete without a visit to the Tower Bridge. Undoubtedly one of London's most famous monuments and with good reason. First of the bridge is massive and filled with details. Walking across it feels truly magical. Gazing upwards toward the towers is almost as enchanting as the view you have from up here. A must in London if ever there was one.

It was a great experience to enter the Tower Bridge towers, go up and down the stairs and especially walk the two walkways above street & river level. The glass floors were really cool. They don't extend across all the way but only in the middle of both walks, and for people who don't like it there is a wooden walkway to the side so this is suitable even for the less daring. You get a great panorama from up there. The engine rooms also come with the ticket & you get to see how the bridge was operated in steam engine time.

The Tower Bridge. Now while there’s no cost to cross the bridge I would highly recommend purchasing tickets to go across up top. It’s well worth the steps. If you need to take a lift one is available but seeing the staircases, and all the factual, historical information they give you on the way up makes it all the more worth it. We bought tickets for 13.30 and arrived a bit early, and the staff didn’t mind us getting in the queue. It was a bit long but moved very quickly, again you could take the lift or the stairs we chose the stairs (we were told there’s somewhere around 260 of them). As you walk up the stairs there are posts and placards that tell you all sorts of facts regarding the material that went into the bridge and other fascinating details. The wood creaking stairs only adds to the experience. Once at the top there’s a spot to rest even before going to the upper bridges. You may think the entire upper bridge is “glass bottom” it isn’t, but each side does have a small section where if not to crowded you can even lie down and take a photo. You’ll walk all the way across one, down the other and turn around where then you can decide you next move. Once down the stairs they send you off to the Engine Room which is also included and the gift shop. This alone has been such a worth while part of our visit, I would highly recommend it.

This review is for the paid attraction to go to the top: Great view on one side. Tickets are much cheaper compared to other attractions, but that's not an excuse to throw in so many people into each batch. If the top was a bit less crowded, it would've been great.

Like many people I was also confused that this the London Bridge BUT when I visited I came to know that this is Tower Bridge. A marvel, gorgeous structure over the river Thames. The view is only good if you see it from a far distance. If the weather is good, you can walk across the bridge. There is a ticket to go up and if you are really interested to more about this deeply.

Another must visit in London. The most beautiful bridge in London I would say. Lovely pics from every angle. Very busy place however you can do like we did and go very early to get pictures without hundreds of people behind us. We had blue sky which made our visit a bit better despite the cold weather. Be careful of people not following the signs which tell you which way to walk, a shame because it would make the crossing smoother.

Visited the iconic London Tower Bridge and was utterly captivated by its timeless elegance. The intricate architecture tells a story of history and craftsmanship that leaves you in awe. Whether you walk across during the day, with the city bustling around you, or experience the magical lights at night, every moment is a feast for the senses. The bridge not only offers spectacular panoramic views of London but also serves as a testament to the city's rich heritage. It's a photographer's paradise—every angle is postcard-worthy. Surrounded by charming cafes and the serene flow of the river, the atmosphere is simply enchanting. London Tower Bridge isn't just a structure; it's a journey through time and a must-visit for anyone seeking a touch of magic in the heart of the city.

Great experience overall. You can wait to buy tickets to go up into the tower and view the engine rooms. I thought it was a fun event and fairly cheap compared to other sites around the city (£30 for a family of three). We waited 40 min to get tickets. They also have pre-purchase tickets or time reservation to hold your spot in line at a specific time for you to jump the line.

Fabulous views and reasonably priced. The mirror above the glass floor was a newer addition I hadn't seen before. Although taking the lift would have been easier we enjoyed the climbing the steps up reading facts along the way, it made the top a treat. Photos from the top came out really well 👍Small children enjoyed the engine and pump room, it is very well restored.

The beautiful tower bridge. (Tourists often confuse this to be the London bridge.) Well this is a bridge too, and check out the pictures to see how amazing it looks when a big ship passes and the bridge is open. This is one of a kind bridge. To know more about its construction do visit inside the tower bridge. It’s amazing to see vehicles crossing under you. Great tourist spot , walk the bridge to see it in detail. It’s a must do in London!

It’s a very nice touristic place.. there are restaurants near by where you can also enjoy the view.. we took a walk on the bridge. If you want to walk on the top where there see through glass there is a payment of either 13 or 20 pounds but the tower itself is closed you can just walk along the corridor from one side to the other. Walking down though is free and it’s a must see when you visit London

This historic gem located in the heart of London is an absolute must-see. It's an iconic testament to the city's rich history, standing proudly as a symbol of its heritage. I highly recommend getting a ticket that includes a visit to the engine room and a journey through the tower's captivating history from its inception. The wealth of information provided at the top of the bridge offers a deep dive into its past, enriching your experience. Walking on the glass pathway is an unforgettable thrill, sending shivers down your spine as you take in the breathtaking views. It's important to note that this place is always bustling with visitors. To make the most of your visit, I strongly advise booking your tickets in advance. Arriving without pre-booked tickets might result in lengthy queues, which could mean waiting for an hour or even longer. For those seeking the perfect photo opportunities or aiming to capture stunning reels, consider arriving early in the morning when the crowds are thinner. Additionally, you'll find conveniently located washrooms at various spots within the tower, ensuring a comfortable visit.

Such a great iconic building to see with your own eyes. So much detail on the buildings. Awesome views all around. Great gift shop close by. Nice walk over the bridge towards the tower of London.

We visited London on a family trip and visited here. The scene of the bridge opening was awe-inspiring. It was amazing to actually see a scene that I had only seen on TV. Even when viewed from various angles, you can feel its diverse charm. I haven't been there at night yet, but I would like to visit at night if I get the chance.

One of the most iconic, if not THE iconic bridges in the world. It’s painted and colorful and easily walkable. Nice wide sidewalks for pedestrians and lots of traffic of course. Stairs at each end. Views of the Tower of London and the River Thames and other very significant buildings of London. The bridge is lit up at night and is even more glorious.

To see this bridge in person still leaves one in amazement. A very iconic part of London, indeed. We went there on a weekend and the area was understandably packed. At around 11am, the queue for the walk above was already long. We did not opt to go up for personal reasons, but I bet the views above are breathtaking, could be literally.

Great experience finally learning the detailed history of an iconic landmark of London. We have all seen this marvel before in books and movies. To learn all about and actually touch and see the striking views from the top is a must! The staff are all helpful kind and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend going up to the walkway and experiencing the glass floor! Highly recommended

Revisited the museum and experience inside the two towers after 20 years.. . Well presented with history, facts, events and helpful staff that gave us more information. The fun part is to walk on the glass walkway! I dare you to try it!! 🤩 Engine room on ground level is good too. It’s an amazing architecture and engineering.

It’s one of the most iconic bridges in London and it’s definitely worth a visit. You can cross the bridge for free on the ground level (where the cars are driving). But it’s also possible to go to the top of the bridge if you are willing to pay for it. You can enjoy a great view to either side of the bridge. It’s nice to cross the river as a pedestrian but if you find a bus that crosses there it’ll be just as good.

A magnificent example of Victorian Gothic architecture! This iconic drawbridge leaves every visitor awe-struck with its grandeur and technical genius. The panoramic view from the walkway reveals splendid cityscapes. An intriguing piece of history lies within the engine rooms, taking you back to the industrial revolution era. A perfect blend of beauty, history, and engineering marvel. The bustling neighborhood adds charm to the overall experience.

Enjoyed our day out. Very interesting and educational. A mixture of exhibitions on display from dinosaurs to earthquakes to everyday birds and bugs. There are at least 2 places to eat and prices are not to bad seeing as you don't pay for entry to the museum as it's free, donations are welcome. Would recommend visiting at least once. Easy access for buggies and wheelchairs

It's a great exhibition and it's hard to believe it's free. There is a wide range of exhibits, from living organisms to minerals, and both men and women are sure to enjoy them. The museum is very large, so be careful not to concentrate too much or lose track of time. Priority entry is given, although advance booking is not essential.

Such an absolutely wonderful time. I love museums of natural history and I'm not used to going to museums for free so this was such a pleasant experience. This was my first time at the Natural History Museum in London and there were so many wonderful exhibits. I was a little sad that the escalator which looks like you are going directly into a planet was down but this museum still had so many beautiful rooms filled with amazing aspects of natural history. While I loved many if the exhibits, my favorite part was walking into the grand entrance. It literally looked like I was walking into Hogwarts. That may sound strange to some, but I was just in such awe of its grandness and beauty. Definitely hope to return again in the future.

The Natural History Museum in London is an absolute gem and a must-visit attraction for families, especially those with school-age children. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the grandeur of its massive halls and the promise of endless exploration. While the museum caters to visitors of all ages, it truly shines as a destination for kids and families. The abundance of hands-on activities ensures that young minds stay engaged and curious throughout their visit. The dinosaur exhibit, in particular, is a hit with visitors of all ages and is sure to leave a lasting impression. As if the captivating exhibits weren't enough, the best part is that admission to the museum is free! However, I highly recommend ordering tickets online to avoid long queues. Booking in advance allows you to select a convenient time slot, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free entry. Whether you're seeking shelter from a rainy day or simply looking for an enriching family activity, the Natural History Museum is the perfect choice. It offers a blend of education, entertainment, and wonder that will impress visitors of all ages. Make sure to add it to your London itinerary - you won't be disappointed! [Attach the provided video of the dinosaur exhibit for a sneak peek of the excitement!]

A brilliant museum full of interesting things for children including dinosaurs, the earth and space. I loved the Wildlife photographer of the year exhibition. A very impressive building. Would advise to book tickets and then you only need to scan them. The museum is free.

An impressive place, the museum is enormous and you cannot see everything in a couple of hours. My recommendation is to look at the map and select in advance the exhibits that are most appealing to you. The highly popular dinosaur’s exhibit is located at the ground floor and can be busy. I especially like the Earth Treasure’s gallery with magnificent rocks and gems. You can buy the museum activity book for 5p that includes a map and nice explanations and tasks for kids.

You can't go wrong with free entry. Fantastic way to spend a few hours. Great, interesting exhibitions for all ages. Bought the Kids guide but only used it for the map during the visit. Will probably make more use out of it during the train journey home!

This museum has been on my bucket list forever and finally I have made the trip here earlier this year in spring. Reserved the tickets online. There was a queue in the morning. It was still pretty quick to get in when the doors opened. Ah the displays were wonderful! Everything was a delight. Especially the more famous displays. Was floored by the hanging skeleton of the whale in the entrance hall. To anyone out there who loves museums. This is a must visit. You may not be able to cover it all in one day but it is sure fun to try. Be prepared for some crowds I guess. It wasn't too overwhelming on the day I visited.

The most famous and interesting museum in London. It is also undoubtedly one of the most beautiful architectural buildings in London. The entrance is free. We were here on a weekday, so there weren't many people. The museum is divided into 4 zones: • orange - zoology • blue - dinosaurs, fish, reptiles, mammals and marine life • green - birds, insects, giant sequoia, minerals • red zone - minerals, volcanoes, earthquakes, human evolution. I really liked the blue whale - its skeleton hangs at the entrance to the museum. ° exposition with dinosaurs. ° exhibits of stones, miners, diamonds and stones interspersed with gold, silver, platinum. There are restrooms inside.

The Natural History Museum in London has a special place in our hearts as one of our family's absolute favourites. We've made countless visits over the years, and it's time we shared just how extraordinary this cathedral of knowledge truly is. Stepping into the museum feels like entering a magical world of discovery, where every corner promises something fascinating. The architecture alone is enough to captivate, but the sheer depth and breadth of the exhibits truly astound. Each visit leaves us in awe, and I doubt we'll ever tire of exploring its wonders. We visited again recently when Siena, my daughter, who is in year 12 at school, needed to do some research for her geography school studies; we knew exactly where to spend our day. Amidst the breathtaking array of minerals at the Natural History Museum, we found ourselves immersed in a world of learning and excitement. The museum's collection is not just impressive; it's absolutely mesmerizing. Whether you're a visitor to London or a local, with or without children, a trip to this museum is an absolute must. The sheer diversity of species and the captivating insights into nature, minerals, and geography make it an experience that quickens the pulse and ignites the imagination. It's a place that calls you back time and time again. On a personal note, we must express gratitude to the Natural History Museum for its role in our daughter's journey. Her time volunteering here only solidified her passion for environmental sciences, setting her on a path she's genuinely excited to pursue at university. Thank you, Natural History Museum, for being an endless source of inspiration.

One of the best museums I have ever visited. It was an unbelievable geological and biological journey in time. I didn't know what I had to focus on; the beauty of the building or the collection itself. I wish I had more time(maybe days) to spend here. It was nice to meet you Dodo!

Another wonderful museum in London! A place to spend a whole day! Astonishing architecture, wonderful collections, kids-friendly place, nice souvenir shops. I found the dinosaur and minerals collections especially fascinating! The curators have done their job brilliantly! The part on volcanoes was really helpful and insightful!

London Natural History Museum! It is a fascinating place full of history and archaeological and much more content! Place to go with family and children. It's amazing! Entrance free! Worth a visit! 🙌🏽. Price: free Transport: It is very easy to arrive by transport, train and buses 🚌 London has very efficient public transport!

We went on a Friday afternoon, and it was super busy and I think this affected the experience. I am the sort that typically require some space and quite to ponder on the specimens and exhibitions. There was also a long queue, guessing this had to do with the fact it was a Bank Holiday weekend. The Museum itself wasn't bad. Sections of the building and ground was under renovation but this didn't take away from the beauty of the building. I thought it was grand. I loved the intricate designs both in and out as well as the elegant ceilings. Those were worth paying attention too as well. And the hanging specimens from the roof were a stunner. Although the weather control didn't seem to work and it was mostly a sweaty experience, we still managed to have a good time. In the end, we found the Cafe/Restaurant on the ground floor and sat by a fan. The toilet was clean.

The Natural History Museum is absolutely enormous and very popular with both tourists and locals alike. Just like every other visitor we had to have a look at the dinosaurs but our visit this time was to see the photography exhibition. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year is a paid exhibition but very good value as the depth and quality of the photography is stunning! As in previous years I think that some of the best in the exhibit were taken by young people from across the world. The staff do a good job of ensuring that numbers in the exhibition are limited so that you do get enough time and space to see each photo and commentary. The Natural History Museum is a must visit if you are in London but don’t expect to see everything in one go-you’ll need to visit many times!

My recent visit to the National History Museum in London was truly captivating. From the moment I entered, I was greeted by impressive exhibits showcasing the diversity of life on Earth. Highlights included the Earth Galleries and the Darwin Centre, both offering immersive experiences. The museum's dedication to education and conservation was evident throughout. Highly recommended for anyone visiting London!

Recommendation: Book tickets before to avoid make long line because there are a lot of interesting places to check inside the museum. If you want to take pictures and read about the items and visit shops will be perfect to have a lot of free time probably 5 hours. In case that you are on schedule 2-3 hours non-stop you will be able to go to all museum sections.

Impressive place. Highly recommended to visit at least once. At slow pace definitely can take around 4 hours to see everything. The collection is really interesting and the way the building looks makes things look even better. At weekday it's not too busy, although always some school trips will be there, but considering it's a free museum it's not a big problem.

Absolutely beautiful museum that will take you at least three hours. Expect a lot of schools and people on weekdays so you need to make time. There's a cafe so you don't have to worry about drinks or food. Beautiful architecture and amazing exhibits.

We visited natural history museum with my son. It was a great experience. You can find fossils of dinosaurs, preserved animals, minerals and gem stones, earth and effects of factors on earth like wind water earthquakes etc. You can also find the planets and solar system. So it is a nice and fun family activity. If you need to pray during your visit there is a contemplation room for prayers. You must spare a whole day for your visit. Give a break at cafeteria after several hours and then continue to discover what is left. By the way tickets are online and free of charge if you want you can donate. Strongly advice to book your tickets online in order to avoid long queue for tickets at the entrance.

Walking up to the museum hits hard with the amazing architecture. It’s overwhelmingly gorgeous. There is no cost to go in, but they do request a donation. You get a free guide book with your donation. Inside, the first thing you see is the skeleton of a whale hanging overhead. It was amazing. The dinosaur area was overly crowded, and there were tons of children so we didn’t stay long. The mammal area was the same. The rest of the museum was just moderately busy, and there were so many cool things to see!! I wish we had more time.

Lovely museum with so much to see. Very busy though! We pre booked which was the best decision as the queue to get in was enormous. Was very clean despite the heavy foot traffic, would recommend going on a week day early morning to avoid the crowds. Children were running about screaming in the most popular areas such as the dinosaurs, but other exhibits were much quieter but equally as interesting. A few exhibits were closed for upkeep, cannot wait to revisit and go explore them as well.

The Natural History Museum is just amazing. The architecture is just spectacular. The fossils are beautifully preserved. If you want to see everything, 2 days would probably be best, however we went to see the dinosaurs and mammals. There is a queuing system for the crowds that works well. However if you are disabled, you get fast tracked through to the entrance and the staff are so very helpful. I brought my papers and attempted to show them, however they understood me and did not need the evidence. Lots of seating throughout and spaces to rest away from the crowds. Events like this can be quite overwhelming, however the staff make it smooth and enjoyable. Not every disability is visible. The shop is not over priced and the products they sell are all very appealing. The museum is situated on Cromwell Road and close to South Kensington Tube. Best of all it is free entry for all.

What a classic structure made during 1860s. View from London eye is also worth viewing. There are many other tourist attractions near this place, which is definitely gonna take your day, and still you may want to come here again. Amazing tourist attraction in London. Vibes are great here 😁 You can easily reach here through train. Westminster or Embankment is the nearest station.

Completely astonishing experience! The place is temporarily closed however it is worth visiting even from out. The view from the bridge is unforgettable! There's a small gift shop which offers pretty good gifting articles about London at a very reasonable price. You can enjoy an amazing view of London Eye and Big Ben from the bridge with the pleasant air papering you. Master piece!

Is unbelievable how beautiful this structure is in real life when you see it in person. It is humongous and it looks pristine for its age. To think the time it took to build it and the precision of the clock is mesmerizing. Some very smart people made this work for all to enjoy.

Big Ben, standing tall beside the River Thames, is an architectural masterpiece that transcends time. Its iconic clock face and resounding chimes contribute to the timeless charm of London's skyline. Whether admired from Westminster Bridge or explored up close, Big Ben encapsulates the city's history and culture. A symbol of precision and endurance, this landmark stands as a testament to London's enduring legacy. Visiting Big Ben is not just a glimpse into the past, but an immersive experience in the heart of a vibrant metropolis.

Absolutely breathtaking each time I've been lucky enough to see it! 😊 When in London, I always make it a priority to stop past and take in its beauty. Definitely recommend seeing it if and when you go to London.

A London land mark and iconic structure craftsmanship at its best. Nice to see the scaffolding coming down after the £80m make over. Unfortunately today 8th April scaffolding hit the building whilst been removed. Hopefully not too much damage.

Majestic, huge, historic and elegant at the same time. A beautifully-looking building. Unfortunately it's still closed, but just by looking at it, taking photos from every angle possible is so much fun. If you are visiting London, it's a must-see attraction.

Very impressive overall, even from the outside. We went at night and revisited in the morning, both were beautiful. Midday, this place is SWARMED with tens of thousands of people. I recommend going early in the morning or around sunset to enjoy the views in peace.

Big Ben or Elizabeth's tower is one of the most well-known attractions in London. The view is lovely! Thought no matter when you are visiting London it's an extremely crowded place. I would recommend to have a quick stroll under Big Ben and continue to the next closest bridge to have a complete view of Thames river and Big Ben.

Big Ben is actually the name of the 13.5 ton weighing big bell inside the tower which had been the nickname and has been renamed with the Elizabeth tower. And this is a really an icon of London and famous for its movements’ accuracy and reliability of telling time by striking bells every 15 min. Clock and dial design is very classic As a part of the Parliament, I think this tower completes the perfection and beauty of the buildings which you may feel better when enjoying the night view. Without this, the Parliament would be a little bit boring even if its appearance is also fantastic. You can see and enjoy this structure from Trafalga square as well when facing the Whitehall. There are also may tourists spots like Westminster abbey, London eye and so on nearby so that you must visit and enjoy the nice view and sound from the clock tower.

This is a great building, its grandeur is comparable to the fame of this palace. The highlight might be the big ben watch, I've seen a lot in movies but only now have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes. It's hard to forget

Seeing Big Ben in person is an awe-inspiring experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression. The towering clock tower is an iconic symbol of London and its rich history, and it is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the city. From a distance, the clock tower is a stunning sight to behold, with its intricate Gothic architecture and towering height visible from many parts of the city. As you get closer, you'll be able to see the clock faces up close, and you'll be amazed at the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into creating them. If you're lucky enough to be in the area when the clock chimes, you'll be treated to a truly magical experience. The sound of the bell echoing across the city is a truly unforgettable experience that you'll cherish for years to come. In summary, seeing Big Ben in London is an experience that should not be missed. Whether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply someone who loves beautiful sights, Big Ben is sure to leave a lasting impression on you.

My visit to Big Ben in London was an awe-inspiring experience. The iconic clock tower's grandeur and rich history left me in complete admiration. The panoramic views of the city from this historical landmark were simply breathtaking.

Beautiful landmark. The street in front of it is very crowded, over the bridge you’ve got a nice view, but if you go the other direction in front of Parliament Square Garden you will have a nice view and not very crowded to take photos.

Very nice place. It is romantic and beautiful. Even though London is somehow gloomy when I was there, but it is still pretty as it is. I believe its original name is Elizabeth Tower, somehow it is known more as Big Ben. Be careful about your stuffs, it is very crowded

One of iconic landmarks of London, definitely worth a visit ( both on the outside and inside) Unfortunately inside tour visits are fastly sold out and during my trip there I couldn't book a ticket. The walk around the sight, at sunset and then by evening was wonderful, beautiful views.

The iconic clock tower known as Big Ben is situated at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, England. Contrary to popular belief, the name "Big Ben" actually refers to the bell inside the tower, not the tower itself. The tower stands at an impressive height of 316 feet (96 meters) and has become a symbol of London's history and culture. Adjacent to Big Ben is the Houses of Parliament, also known as the Palace of Westminster. This historic building serves as the meeting place for the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom—the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The architecture of the Houses of Parliament is a stunning example of Gothic Revival style, with intricate details and grandeur that captivate visitors from around the world. The Houses of Parliament overlook the River Thames, adding to its picturesque setting. The building has a rich history, having survived fires and bombings throughout the years. Visitors can explore various parts of the Houses of Parliament, including Westminster Hall, the Central Lobby, and the House of Commons Chamber. Together, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament form a magnificent landmark that represents the heart of British democracy and heritage. The sight of these majestic structures against the London skyline is truly awe-inspiring and continues to attract tourists and locals alike.

If you're looking for an adventure in London, you simply can't miss out on the stunning Big Ben! It's an absolute must-visit destination that offers breathtaking views from the heart of the busiest city on earth! Trust me, you won't find a better spot to take in all the excitement and energy that London has to offer!

It's a great view when they're not doing works on it or on the street. Night time pictures of Big Ben are great. You can take pictures from the bridge and towards the London Eye. Westminster Abbey and the House Guards are near. On occasions you can enter parliament but I've never been so find out times and details if you want to go in. Don't expect amenities nearby. Also, very few places for coffee, only a couple where you can sit down but not easy to find. Best cafes are five minutes away towards Victoria or Trafalgar but quite full most of the time. The London eye is near over the bridge and on the way you can see the London Aquarium, my kids loved it. Also, its an easy walk to St James park and Buckingham Palace. I find the park particularly nice with all the birds in the lake and the views towards the palace but better seen/enjoyed in good weather. There are toilets there as well as a couple of kiosks for snacks and drinks.

This is a beautiful clock tower. I walked by here while visiting London and was satisfied with my experience. Big Ben is an icon of London, and one can admire its architectural beauty from the street. It has several small ornamental details on it, and it’s easy to tell the time on its large clock. At night, the clock lights up. I gave this clock tower five stars because it’s absolutely gorgeous. It looks significantly better than it does in pictures.

Big Ben, one of London's most iconic landmarks, stands tall and proud beside the River Thames, serving as a symbol of the city's rich history and enduring resilience. Despite its popular name, Big Ben actually refers to the Great Bell housed within the Elizabeth Tower, which is part of the Palace of Westminster, home to the UK Parliament. Completed in 1859, the Elizabeth Tower, with its magnificent clock face and towering presence, quickly became a beloved emblem of London's skyline. The Great Bell, which weighs over 13 tons, chimes melodiously every hour, marking the passage of time with its deep, resonant tones. Its name, "Big Ben," is believed to have been derived from the nickname of Sir Benjamin Hall, the Commissioner of Works at the time of the tower's construction. Over the years, Big Ben has endured wartime bombings, renovations, and even occasional maintenance hiccups, but it has remained steadfast as a symbol of London's resilience and endurance. Its timeless beauty and majestic presence continue to captivate visitors from around the world, who flock to admire its grandeur and snap photos against the backdrop of the historic Westminster Palace. Despite undergoing restoration works in recent years to address structural issues and ensure its longevity, Big Ben still stands as a timeless symbol of London's past, present, and future. As the heart of the city beats to the rhythm of its chimes, Big Ben remains a cherished icon, reminding us of London's enduring spirit and the timeless allure of its historic landmarks.

The beautiful and iconic Big Ben and the London Eye around. A lovely place to see. Lots of people all around. Just beware of pick pockets in operation.

The tower clock is something incredible to watch. It gives 2 different vibes when standing there in daylight and also at night. Both give different feelings. The London eye is visible from here which makes it more attractive. Less crowds, very near, but the road is busy with traffic.

My first time going here and i can’t believe why I have waited so long. I love everything about this place. Peaceful surrounds in a magnificent setting. Plenty of time to just stroll and really appreciate the exhibits and sculptures etc. Free entry (some exhibitions that you can pay for and which i will come back and do). Nice that there are people dotted throughout sketching etc so its nice to see their perspectives. This would have to be one of my favourite museums in the world.

One of my favourite London museums! It's a beautiful building both from the outside and the inside. Entry is free however there are some paid exhibitions. It's quite big and you can have a stroll around all day in the different sections and floors, each of them dedicated to a different time period. There are a lot of magnificent pieces of art - painting, sculptures, and other interesting pieces. There are gift shop, a cafe and customer toilets on site. If you're visiting London make sure you don't miss checking out V&A!

One of the best Museums in the world. So many interesting items. The collections focus on the power of good design and beautiful objects. A must see attraction in London. The museum offers free tours that run on every hour. The collections include contemporary pieces & old ones providing interest and breadth of design features. The Jewellery section is particularly rich with beautiful objects. A huge plus The museum offers great options for sandwiches/Salads/soup/deserts and you get to have your meal in beautiful rooms or if the weather is nice in the outside garden and around the fountain and pool. DO NOT MISS THE museum SHOP 😍🥰

Incredible FREE museum. The Courtyard in the middle has a little pool where children were splashing around. Lots of tables to relax and enjoy a peaceful afternoon. The jewelry collection, the room of plaster castings…Go and explore, too much to see it all so just look at what you like! Or go back several times.

My most favourite museum in the world. Amazing treasures from medieval times to present day. Beautiful galleries, amazing portraits. I love the jewellery section, being able to see the jewels of people like Queen Victoria and then walk out and see them wearing them in portraits. When I visit I want to redecorate my house with wonderful, beautiful things, that will last for hundreds of years. We went early and it was lovely and quiet. Was reasonably busy when we left.

Love V&A. We were time pressed so we were rushing through. Need to allot a whole day to enjoy this place. The indoor outdoor spaces were very well thought out. Love the mix of ancient and modern. And the fact that most of the pieces were not cased. Also loved the cafeteria. The rooms were magnificent. The food and food choices were very good for the cafeteria style restaurant.

This museum is right next to the National History Museum so plan accordingly. This is a beautiful museum featuring many displays from Asian derived to other European items. All items are displayed wells and with appropriate decorative style befitting the time period. Overall, this is a very well stocked museum with many interesting items. Good experience.

The V&A is an amazing place to visit; although I always feel a little lost in there. It’s enormous and just packed full of stunning displays, collections and exhibitions. We were hoping to see the theatre collection but at the time of visiting the area had been closed because of low temperatures. Instead we explored other sections including some of the jewellery, silverware, stained glass and tapestry. The V&A is definitely somewhere that you could visit multiple times and still have more to see. There’s a really lovely atmosphere in the museum and the ground floor where you will see many people sketching us always packed. My recommendation would be to go up a couple of levels where there are fewer visitors and then you can soak up the atmosphere and really enjoy your surroundings.

The main reason why I visited the museum is to see the Gabrielle Chanel Fashion Manifesto exhibition which is now fully sold out. It is excellent and well curated. Many of her iconic coats and dresses are on display as well as her cosmetic range. The exhibition is not free but for Chanel fans it’s worth a visit. One also gets to see the history behind her creations. Two hours needed. I also visited the sculpture section seeing the works of Rodin. It’s nice. As for the very much raved about cafe, I find it so so. True that the high ceiling is beautiful with great art work, the service of the cafe crew begs improvement. I find ordering a bit confusing too. But the place is beautiful and given that the museum is free except for special exhibitions, it’s worth a visit.

Lovely museum with incredible artifacts. Such nice volunteers leading guided tours. Loved that it was not nearly as crowded as the natural history museum across the street. I’d love to visit again and spend more time. Loved the soap in the gift shop and brought some home with me.

Amazing place 🤩. I love the atmosphere of this museum. Beautiful interiors, stunning exhibitions and exhibits. This is a very good place to de-stress, also spend a nice time with friends or family. The museum is long, you can go back there many times and you will always find something new that will surprise or amaze you. I highly recommend to everyone going to London!

This is a spectacular museum with so much to recommend it I don't know where to start. The museum building outside and inside is incredibly beautiful. The medieval section has many beautiful pieces. I also enjoyed the China and Korea exhibit. That's all I had time to see! If you are in London don't miss this gem.

Very large Museum. The cast room is amazing. Lots of different eras covered. The centre area with the pool is a good area to relax and dip your feet in the pool. The best part is the museum is still free!!! Other major cities can learn from the London model.

First time visitor. Solo traveler. Recommendation: No children or minors unless they have an unusual affinity/appreciation for the arts. The ones I saw in there looked bored. Additionally, plan hours or days. The place is huge with multiple exhibits. Naturally everyone has favorites. But to appreciate the breadth of the museums catalog, one needs to plan multiple hours or visits.

Visited on a weekday(Friday). Entry was free and no bookings necessary. It was massive with lots to see and appreciate. You'd need more than a couple of hours to really get the most of your visit. Spent about 3hrs instead of the 1hr I had initially scheduled. No drinks and foods allowed in but there is a cafe and designated eating area inside. If you love museums, this has to be a must see.

Hands down the most amazing collection of art and design I have seen. It's worth every second of the four hours spent there, and I can't wait to go back! Take a look at the exhibit map before you start, focus on a few areas, and plan for more than one trip! Also, grab lunch or tea in the cafe or out in the garden cafe. The food was delicious too!

Fabulous museum of arts and crafts, with so many wonderful exhibits, I don't think you could see everything properly if you visited every day for a year. My favourite galleries were the iron work and the modern glass. It is frankly awesome that admission is free. A couple of minor niggles; the galleries are a bit of a maze, so it is not easy finding your way around, secondly the cafe is about as expensive as anywhere I have ever eaten - £5.90 for a scone, anyone?!

Brilliant Museum with brilliant collections . There are so much to see. Enjoyed every minute of it. The staffs are very helpful and friendly. Good location about 7/8 minutes waking distance from South Kensington station with disable access and clean toilet facilities. Also the Museum have a nice garden and cafe where you can have food and spend a quality time. And it’s free. 10 out of 10.

Absolutely necessary to visit while you’re in London. There is something for EVERYONE. There are pieces from all continents and cultures, and it stays true to its original purpose of art education and cultivation. I recommend the jewellery, cast rooms, and silver rooms for first timers. The glass room, renaissance rooms and Islamic room are also worth a visit.

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to properly view all of the exhibits. The exhibits we did see were impressive. We caught an impressive live performance from the 'Red Ladies'. Their performance was certainly thought-provoking. It was a polished performance littered with impressive twists and surprises. The exhibits are well spaced out and information regarding the exhibits are very informative without being long winded and time consuming. This allows for a speedy procession through the building. We will return and allot the time the museum obviously deserves. Free entry is certainly appreciated.

My favourite art museum in London! There is a mixture of modern and traditional pieces: a little something for everyone. I would recommend getting a map on entry, then deciding which sections and floors you want to see, as it is a very big museum. It wasn't busy when we went, however it might be in public holidays, so be careful.

An exquisite place. Absolutely fascinating and densely packed with amazing art, educational tools, and information. A must visit. It took me approximately 5-6 hours and I strongly recommend not dedicating any less to this museum. But if you're short on time, I'd say still give it a visit. It's a visual stunner. I especially recommend the sculpture halls, cast courts and the jewellery rooms. The musical exhibition is also fantastic but it might be temporary.

We included this museum to our plans as a secondary stop in the first place, but then we saw that it is a very underrated place! We actually spent more time and interest in this place than the British Museum. It has such a wide range of pieces from all over the world and the design of the museum is so good that you do not want to miss anything. Moreover, it is not crowded like other museums so you get more chances to see everything at your pace and longer. Also, you do not have to reserve your tickets and it's free, you just enter through through the door and you are in. Definitely and absolutely a must-visit.

Not only does this museum have amazing art collections, it has an amazing courtyard with a large puddle pool for the kids to run through to cool off & decompress. Surrounding the pool is grassy steps & the cafe so parents can take a great break. I can’t say enough about this museum.

I’ve been to a lot of museums and this by far was amazing! I almost didn’t go here and ended up being a last minute what else can we do thing. Glad I didn’t miss it! So much cool stuff to see and the whole place is just amazing!

Really amazing and vast collection of art, antiquities, design. The building is really beautiful but very maze like. It would take a whole day to see everything. We went during the week when kids had time off school and it wasn't too crazy busy.

Starting out on the new Elizabeth line, we whipped across East to West London. Accessing the museum was easy a few feet from the South Kensington tube. As you go in, donations are requested, and maps are offered. The exhibitions are well laid out, and the museum map offers a route around, and there are hours of exhibits to pique your interest. The cafe is very expensive even for London prices £2.55 for a small water is unacceptable. But the tea room is a wonderful room, worth a look. There are lectures and guides available. The museum offers a £5 audio guide, so beware expensive fake guides!! We spotted a few. The trip was wonderful and we will return with a better agenda and more time. Maybe to take a sketch as well, which we saw a lot of artists doing there.

I love this museum, it's been a few years since my last visit. I looked around the jewellery display and the stained glass. Followed by coffee and passion fruit tart in the café, ending with a look around the gift shop. The building itself is beautiful and there's a great selection in the shop. Unfortunately I didn't have time to do anything else I would have liked to look around the Egyptian display. Well worth a visit.

First visit for many years and had an interesting and fun afternoon. The food in the restaurant was amazing and the dining rooms were worth a visit in themselves. There’s a lot to do so I only concentrated on a few areas: fashion through the ages, the Raphael cartoons, furniture and a visit to the gift shop - full of stylish and quality items. Good family birthday gifts!

We visited the exhibition DIVA. It was really good! They divided it in two floors. You can see outfits of many different famous people. When you enter, they give you earphones to make the experience even more special. Totally recommendable. By the way, don’t forget to book your ticket in advance, else you might not get in, because it often sold out.

Soooo much fun and interesting things to see and learn from! We spent almost an entire day there, and still haven't seen everything, we are going back for another visit and this time hopefully we'll see more! Unbelievable diversity of cultural arts, pottery, jewellery, clothes, etc that one would need a few days/ visits to be able to really get it! Loved every second of my 1st visit and can't wait to return!

The museum is fantastic overall. My personal highlight was the intricate miniature structures on the third floor. Visiting on a Sunday, I found the first and second floors bustling with visitors, but the third and fourth floors were pleasantly uncrowded. From jewelry to technological devices, the museum exhibits a diverse array of items from around the globe. I highly recommend paying a visit.

10/10 would recommend. You should spend the whole day here from 10 am until it’s closed because it’s sooo wide and there’s just simply a lot of things to see. There are -1 level to 4 level so you need to prepare to bring the map so you don’t get lost. Would love to visit this again

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, founded in 1852, is a global hub for art and design. Its extensive collection spans over 5,000 years and includes diverse artifacts from around the world. With striking Victorian architecture, it offers a rich cultural experience through permanent collections and temporary exhibitions.

Monolithic in size and content! Mainly helpful staff and good accessibility across the place, decent toilets and beautiful hallways. Some areas are in need of TLC with wording faded and tattered, with money being ring fenced for other more ‘exciting’ parts. Closed too early unfortunately and some parts of super busy, but if you go early and during the week you can have a good time, no tickets needed. The camera obscures is fun and not very busy.

Great experience! We really enjoyed the tour, wonderful museum with attentive staff, we spent around 6 hours visiting all the rooms. Great history, ancient Greek, omg incredible Italian replica in the main room. Guys, take half a day and visit the place, which is incredible! 100% recommended!

Anything less than a 5 star to this fabulous museum would be an injustice to ratings. Some of the finest collections on the planet in a vast area. Easily 1 day to explore. Fabulous dining area , if somewhat fast food in style with plastic trays to take the food to your hastily found large shared table. Bit hey its all about the exhibits.

This museum is expansive. If you give even a little attention to all exhibits you will be there all afternoon. Tapestries, ceramics, photography, sculpture, furniture too much to list really. Also right across the street from the Museum of Natural History and the Science Museum. You can definitely make a whole day and then some in this one area of London.

Nice place to visit. I had a lot of fun with my son passing by all of the celebrities and famous people. There is a special place for Marvel and Star Wars characters which we both liked. Better to book tickets early and select time to enter instead of waiting in a queue

It was an amazing experience. The history of the museum was very inspiring. The details of every sculpture was so detailed that we feel a real connection with them. Enjoyed the day out here especially when the 4D movie theatre with the link-up seats give you the effects and sound of the movie and a really good day.

Visit here was one of the best moments during our London-trip. This Madam Tussauds is one of the biggest I visited so far, several hours can be spent without any problem. But also it is one of the most expensive ones. Nevertheless a visit with the family is really fantastic, but I recommend to organize tickets in advance or to pay the fast lane tickets to enter earlier.

Spectacular. It was an adventure. A whole show in one. Great for the entire family. You meet the stars, have a ride through old London and participate in a short 3D movie; but you not done. A brief moment to experience being a superhero and then an experience for all the star wars fans. Highly recommend.

The whole experience was an amazing one. My advice is to never go alone if you really want to get the full experience, you need someone else to help you take pictures with the wax arts. When you are taking pictures try to be creating, look where their eyes are pointed, and adjust your camera to match that. The results are priceless.

Unique experience, must visit. It is worth the price. Ticket prices include spirit of London ride and small 5D show. Only downside for me was that the Bollywood celebrity figurines were poorly made. Hardly resembled the real person. Also, keep in mind they keep changing the displays from time to time so my experience might differ from others.

This is a must see and recommended attraction any one must do if you are a tourist and local. See all your favourite figures all on near perfect wax models and entertainment. Staff friendly and covid cautious. We enjoyed our visit and would come back again.

Amazing experience whenever you go here. Good few hours with friends and family. There is not much to do for small kids though. Love the spirit of London ride, also the 4D cinema experience is good. Missed some of the famous Bollywood statues as they have been shipped to Dubai. Must visit experience for anyone touring London.

Nice walkabout. Surprisingly less child friendly than I expected. Highlights were the Alien section, London serial killers and the Marvel 4D experience. Not much interest in the celebrities and the Star Wars section is a bit too small but still fun!

Beautiful, clean & well maintained. All the statuses were clean & very well maintained. I loved the whole England history overview section with taxi ride. Don't miss Marvel's section, specifically 4D movie.

I absolutely loved the museum! You get your money's worth, as there is plenty to see inside, there's a 4D cinema room and a little taxi ride with some history explained along the way. There was also a house of horrors, but not recommended for children or people with weak stomachs. You can also have your hand moulded in wax and there's a souvenir shop at the end. Work on spending 2.5-3 hours inside.

You book the ticket well in advance and then turn up on the given time slot while booking. I went to Madame Tussads ages ago, and quite a bit has changed. There was a horror a bit which we missed and not sure whether we would like it so we proceeded to Avengers section which was really nice. I would recommend the Avengers 4d show it was amazing.

Absolutely magnificent and must-see attraction in London. There are a lot of things to see and great figures of celebrities from worlds of music, sport, art, politics, history. The short 3D Marvel movie with special effects is also very interesting and the part that we loved the most was the ride by train through the history of London. That is a truly great experience!It's interesting both for adults and kids.

It’s very worth visiting attraction. Wax figures come to life. Wheelchair user friendly but you will need to book a time-slot for wheelchair before your visit.

Stunning and interesting Madame Tussauds wax museum. Here you can take pictures not only with famous personalities, but also with movie or cartoon characters, and also take a ride through a tunnel that tells about the history of England in colorful exhibitions of those times. We had a lot of fun, had a lot of fun and took a lot of photos. There is also a souvenir shop at the exit. We bought tickets online through booking, while we were walking to the museum, we stood in line for about 10-20 minutes to enter.

Its was a great experience. We booked our tickets online a day before. It was slightly cheaper than to buy on site as we got little discount. We went there on weekdays so there wasn’t long queue to wait and no rush inside. Inside its too warm, could be because of the lights and no visible windows for fresh air. The wax statues are fun to watch and take pictures with them. We all enjoyed a lot.

O experienta frumoasa! Am cumparat biletele in avans online, dar am mers intr-o zi de luni si nu era aglomerat la cumparat bilete! Foarte dragut turul, a fost pe mai multe categorii, in prima parte statuile de ceara ale unor persoane faimoase, apoi camera ororilor, apoi te ducea cu un trenulet format din taxiuri si vizitai epoca reginei Elisabeta (cea mai interesanta parte), apoi personajele Marvel cu un mic filmulet intr-o sala de cinema 4D iar la sfrasit personajele starwars! Totul interesant si e pentru copii de asemenea! (Translated by Google) A beautiful experience! I bought the tickets in advance online, but I went on a Monday and it wasn't crowded when buying tickets! Very nice tour, it was in several categories, firstly the wax statues of some famous people, then the chamber of horrors, then it took you on a little train made up of taxis and you visited the era of Queen Elizabeth (the most interesting part), then the Marvel characters with a small video in a 4D cinema and finally the starwars characters! Everything is interesting and it's for children too!

Wasn't expecting much. Never been before. Had already made my mind up in advance that I wouldn't enjoy it, however, I was wrong. It was a lovely experience. Some characters better than others, but the majority were very realistic.

We bought fast track ticket combo with London Eye (online).. Luckily we chose entry at 10AM because they open at 10AM. When arriving there was already very very long queue of people waiting.. Those with fast track ticket had special mini queue. We went through the security and then inside.. Being among first people gave us huge advantage.. We were there almost alone for about 10-15 minutes.. I was there after 16 years.. I have photos then and now.. Probably 90% of exhibition and figurines were different now.. Science and technology also moved forward because some of new figurines look astonishing, like alive.. Some of them resemble their alive clones not so much.. Being ahead of crowds gave us freedom to enjoy exhibition. We were done within an hour. Overally we liked it a lot.

The figures are perfect. The look like living people. The London trip was very fun. I recommend the horror part of the museum. You may be sprayed with blood!

"Had an outstanding time at Madame Tussauds London. The attention to detail in the wax statues is truly remarkable, making you feel like you're standing next to the real celebrities and historic figures. Each statue, crafted meticulously, offers a fantastic photo opportunity. The entire experience is brilliantly crafted to immerse visitors. The taxi ride, shedding light on London's rich history, was both educational and entertaining. A definite highlight was the 4DX movie – it added an awesome, thrilling dimension to our visit. With so much to see, we found ourselves completely engrossed, spending nearly 3 hours and snapping hundreds of photos. By the end, we were a bit exhausted but in the best way possible. It's a comprehensive and memorable journey that transcends just wax figures. Highly recommend for a unique London experience!"

The experience was great. The statues are life size and resemble an exact copy. Multiple sections to cover so have ample time. Too crowded sometimes to pose with your interests.

Fantastic experience. A must visit attraction when you are in London. Wax figures look very real. Visited on Sunday afternoon and it was not very crowded at that time. They have figures of famous celebrities , Royal family, star wars and marvels. Spend a good 2 hours inside the museum. There was a good ride inside which was also fabulous. Try to buy tickets in advance that will avoid any hassle there.

Took my children there for the half term , we loved every bit of it especially the taxi ride telling stories about the spirit of London as we travelled through something like a tunnel. Well recommended for anyone that wants to have a view of what real life celebrities look like😝

🕯️ I've never been a fan of Madame Tussauds, except for visiting their wax museum here in London. I am really impressed and can say that every penny we spent here is really worth it. All the stars you know from Hollywood, film and television and celebrities in general from all over the world are set up here as wax figures. Even Marvel heroes are available as a 4D studio included in the price. There is also a taxi tour of England's history. They are fake taxis of course, see photos :) You can also buy merchandising items at the end of the tour (studios). and you should definitely allow yourself about 2 hours for the entire tour (some more, some less). Making our own wax hands was a big hit for us. When creating the wax hands, we were really impressed by Ahmed‘s artistic work. He's a genius and you definitely have to say that and praise him sometimes. 📣 If you liked my Google Maps reviews, I would be happy about a like here.

We had a great visit here. We came in first thing in the morning just before opening and lines were already alongside the building. If you can come in early. The place has several parts. One of wax dolls and one of a 4D film, one with a two sites ride and one with Movie characters. The whole round took us about two hours. The kids really enjoyed it and we would definitely come back here again. A great attraction.

Visited this popular wax museum a few months back for an event. The gallery was well managed and boasted a grand collection of well-crafted wax figures of prominent personalities. Coupled with this, the organisation of the party was outstanding, making the experience truly memorable. The staff were very cooperative and the ambiance was top-notch. A great effort by the management to keep up with the expectations of its patrons.

35 years on since i last visited and it was amazing! We had the best day out.. so many photos... it wasn't that busy neither considering it was a Saturday afternoon (mid march) and a big queue to get in. There is good variety with the themes of the models, from action heroes to celebs and genres. They had star wars scenes too, which was my personal fave. There was a quite good 4d marvel movie as well. I highly recommend it, especially if you like taking photos.

We have been several times in the gaps and each time we were delighted with the new settings. Worth every penny. They are well organized, regardless of the big crowd. Everything goes very fast at the entrance. You have as much time as you want to see everything in the Museum, approximately 1.5-2 hours is quite enough. House of Horrors is really scary. Near the end, they also have a ride in a small train where they show scenes of life in London over the centuries. It is recommended to buy a set of tickets with other sights of London because you can save a lot (for example, London eye and Madame Tussauds, price around £50 for adults,for 2 attractions). If you buy with several attractions, the price is even more favorable and the ticket lasts for 3 months.

Great experience with lots of figures to see spanning many genres. There was a ride and a 4d show included, which broke up the walking nicely. There were hands-on wax hands for those interested and a gift shop at the end.

I went here yesterday for a day out because I hadn't been for a bit 😁 the bag searches were efficient and the ticket scanning was also efficient. Lots of celebrities to have met and had every photo opportunity with, I enjoyed looking around at the celebrities and the venue was fab! I really enjoyed it 💃🏻🕺🏻🪩 It's worth the money and a lot to see, the taxi ride was awesome and the horror tour was amazing too! Aswell as 4D cinema! There was lots to see and I will be back again 🥰 I also loved the disco part where you could press the button to start a party 🪩 that was fun and I was enjoying it! It was very good 😃

A well spent 3 Hours!! The place had so many different themes that made it all the more interesting and enjoyable. Especially the Chamber of Horrors and the 4DX Marvel cinematic experience. The wait for getting inside was a bit long even with a time specific pre booking but it is understandable as it was a Saturday afternoon.

Good place for a day out when it’s a rainy day in London. If you have Merlin pass you can enter the fast track entrance. Highly recommend booking ticket in advance otherwise you are looking at long Que to enter. We took lots of funny photos and highlight was the 4D Marvel experience. In total I was there for 90 minutes with my family.

As one of the main tourist attractions you definitely know that this place could be during the pick time a bit more overcrowded. If you accept it then you will have an interesting point of view even on the history of England. Except for the world-famous people you will see also life in old London. So you will see a lot. Thank you🤩

Camden Market is a vibrant and eclectic destination that's a must-visit for anyone seeking a diverse shopping and dining experience. The market's unique mix of alternative fashion, arts, crafts, and international cuisine creates a captivating atmosphere that's truly one-of-a-kind. However, it's important to note that the popularity of Camden Market can lead to overcrowding, especially during weekends and peak tourist seasons. This can make navigating through the narrow streets and exploring the stalls a bit challenging, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the visit. If you prefer a more relaxed shopping environment, consider visiting during off-peak hours to fully appreciate the market's charm without feeling overwhelmed by the crowds.

One of the best markets in London with four quarters/sections: Camden Lock, Stables Market, Hawley Wharf and Buck Street. Each quarter has its own style and is good for different things. Overall, the food stalls are great and there are tons of shops to browse. But my favourite thing is the atmosphere and being beside the canal.

Despite the weather, it turned out beautifully because of the people. I was there in 1998 and Oh boy everything was the same exciting vibes but lots of changes. Loved every seller I talked to and genuinely good karma around the areas. Loved the energy, the music and happiness. Bringing my younger daughter to visit a place where people are colourful and arts of all sorts is fantastic. Thank you Camden Town.🙏🌟💐💖🎆🎊🎉
