★★★★★a month agoVERY interesting! My wife and I were fortunate to have Michael, one of the volunteer guides, offer to give us a short private tour of some of the key display items. He was knowledgeable and obviously passionate about the whole topic. We could have spent all day here, and will definitely plan another visit when we get to London again.

★★★★★a month agoWhat an interesting place! Loved learning more about the history, seeing pieces of memorabilia that are well preserved. The gift shop is also cool. Had to wait a bit outside even though I arrived before my time. It was great to have the audio guide. I’m glad I came by myself though, it would have been boring for small kids in my opinion.
