HMS Belfast has 1 rating.
HMS Belfast, permanently moored on the River Thames in London, offers visitors a chance to explore a real World War II-era Royal Navy light cruiser. The ship-turned-museum provides an authentic look into naval life and British maritime history. Visitors can explore multiple decks, from the engine rooms below to the bridge above, giving a comprehensive view of how the ship operated. Many find the living quarters and mess halls particularly interesting, as they show the day-to-day life of sailors. The museum does a good job of presenting information through exhibits, audio guides, and interactive displays, making it engaging for both adults and children. Some visitors note that the narrow passageways and steep ladders between decks can be challenging for those with mobility issues or claustrophobia. While most find the experience educational and enjoyable, a few mention that the ticket price is a bit high. The museum's location offers great views of Tower Bridge and the London skyline, adding to the overall experience. However, some visitors suggest that the museum could benefit from more frequent updates to keep the exhibits fresh for repeat visitors.
