An unusually unrestricted experience with allows your kids to really explore this unique vessel. Lots of clambering and discovering! For an adult interested in the naval side of WW2 this is an unmissable vessel in a surprisingly integral condition.

What a wonderful piece of history to have access to! We booked to go into the ship in the afternoon with only an hour and half untill closing, we definitely will give ourselves much more time the next time we visit. There was so much to see when we go onto the ship! They've set it all up brilliantly, you really get a feel for what it was like to be aboard. I would highly recommend the ship to everyone 😁

🚢 My Visit to HMS Belfast, London Visiting HMS Belfast was an unforgettable experience and a deep dive into naval history. This historic Royal Navy warship, launched in 1938, played a crucial role in World War II and beyond, including the D-Day landings. Now permanently moored on the River Thames, it serves as a museum offering visitors a unique glimpse into life at sea. Walking through the ship, I explored the gun turrets, engine rooms, crew quarters, and the bridge. The interactive exhibits and personal stories of sailors brought history to life, making it engaging for all ages. The views of Tower Bridge and the Thames from the deck were spectacular. Visitor Tips: Book tickets online in advance to save time. Wear comfortable shoes, as there’s a lot of climbing between decks. Audio guides are included and provide excellent historical context. How to Reach: HMS Belfast is located at The Queen’s Walk, London SE1 2JH, right next to London Bridge Station (Northern and Jubilee lines) and within walking distance from Tower Bridge and the City of London. Overall, HMS Belfast is a must-visit for history enthusiasts — a fascinating mix of military heritage, interactive exhibits, and panoramic city views.

Visited HMS Belfast today and was blown away with the access to the ship. My 2 sons and nephew really enjoyed the experience of being able to walk around a warship having all been massive fans of tv programmes and computer games involving warships. The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly and give a good insight into the ships service throughout its life at sea. Would highly recommend and I would definitely return for another visit.

Didn't book but walked straight in, wasn't busy so could easily see and photograph everything, apart from the Steam room which was closed. There are a number of interactive displays and audio presentations to help bring the history alive. I like to see the various guns, and always find engine rooms fascinating - this ship has particularly good access to that. There is also good access to pretty much all the other rooms as well. I was onboard for about 2.5hrs
