Bring your explorers on board this iconic London landmark. With family activities, fun interactive displays, and stunning views of the Thames, HMS Belfast is an unforgettable family day out!
Climb ladders and duck through hatches as you navigate your way around the rooms and all nine decks of this floating city. Your visit will take you from the lower decks, under the Thames waterline to the top of the flag deck. You can even take a seat in the captain's chair and grab a photo as the captain of HMS Belfast!
With brand-new displays, refreshed exhibition spaces, crew members stories and new multi-sensory and interactive experiences, discover more about the ship's globe-trotting history. From firing some of the opening shots on D-Day, to sailing in freezing conditions of the Arctic Circle and serving in the Korean War.
You will hear stories from the 950 people who lived and served on the ship which had its own chapel, radio station and bakery and is so large you could almost lie Big Ben across its deck - twice!
With so much to see and do on board HMS Belfast at least three hours is recommended for your day out, plus time to re-fuel in the ships' café.
