Essential stop for WWII fans
This is an absolute must for anyone with an interest in WWII history, naval history, or history in general.
I took a self-guided tour with an audio guide that was worth every penny. The guide takes you through every major portion of the ship, touching on daily life throughout all decades the ship was in use but focusing on its service during the Second World War. There is a nice mix of personal accounts woven with the underlying historical importance of events. There is also a section on general British naval history.
The staff in particular were very helpful and outgoing. At times it was difficult to tell the difference between them and the tourists!
[As an end note, after the ship hit a mine and was set up for repairs in 1939, a good portion of the ship's crew were transferred... to the HMS Hood.]
Ship ahoy!
Make sure you pick up the free audio guide as you board HMS Belfast so you can concentrate on viewing all the many and varied exhibits to be seen. There is much to interest those who appreciate the historical and technical side. Learn how HMS Belfast played a leading part in the destruction of the battle cruiser Scharnhorst, and also the Normandy Landings. Visit the engine room, boiler room, gun turrets, radio and communications rooms etc and do not miss the living quarters where even the ship's cat had its own hammock and lays contentedly! Do be aware though that with nine decks to explore you will need to be fairly agile to climb the countless near-vertical ladders throughout the ship. It took about 1.5 hours to complete my tour.
Don't bother
Unless you are really interested in Naval history don't go. Most of the ship was closed off and the audio guide was poor. We paid £5 each, full entry is more than £10. For £5 it was ok, but with so many free things to do in London which are better don't waste your money.
Great experience
Of course, if you decide to vist it, you know you are going to visit a nave ship. So, if you're not interested, don't go. However, if you are really interested, there is alot to see.
A lot of the ship is open to public, and the items of display depict in detail how life on the ship was during its glory days during (around) World War II.
Furthermore, it is in the centre of the Tower of LOndon/London Bridge area. SO, many tourist would find themselves in the area, and could easily be added on a day's programme.
A couple of minutes distant from LOndon Bridge tube station.
If you like Naval History take a tour
Well worth the time if naval history is of any interest to you.
You get to tour a large portion of the ship. Nice materials to explain things. Gives you a good idea of life on board HMS circa WWII.
