- Grover RPensacola, FL17,838 contributionsThis is a great museum, but it is not really a museum of Britain. It is a great antiquities museum focusing on the classic cultures of Egypt, Greece and Rome. With that said, there is a section on Celtic Britain that was a highlight for me. Additionally it is an impressive building that has been modernized to have one of the nicest interior courtyards under roof. It is not so much a museum about Britain as one about ancient civilizations. It reminded me a lot of the Pergamon in Berlin.
I certainly understand that it is something you need to see. However, with so much in London, I would budget me time to see the highlights. With that said, my son loved it and spent extra time with his fiancée here.Written May 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

While I had see both Tate's, this was the best art museum in London with the most diverse collection with the best artist and pieces. The paintings are masterpieces by the greatest artists, de Vinci, Titian, and Vermeer to Impressionist like Monet, Manet and Renoir and Post Impressionist like Suerat, Cezanne and Van Gogh. There were even interesting paintings from British history. All of this it a great building that was decorated for the season. Again, there are many art museums in London, but this is the best.Written May 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel10MichiganMichigan9 contributionsVisiting the Churchill War Rooms was interesting and well done self guided tour (with a hand held audio device. It takes a few hours and gives you a sense of where Churchill and his staff/leaders lived and commanded their troops during the London bombings and WWII. Well worth the time and historical perspective. You can do this at your own pace.Written May 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AVYGreater London, UK1 contributionLovely experience. As a person who doesn't like going past level 5 in a lift, I was surprised how smooth the lift to the 35th floor was.
The views were spectacular. It was a grey day (typical London) but glad it wasn't raining. View from the south is outdoors whilst most of the other views are from within the building. Lovely big windows which allowed for Lovely pictures.
We had a very active toddler with us so didn't stay long. But currently booking the next trip for a bit earlier so we can have a sit down and enjoy a drink and nibble.
I agree with reviewer: felt like an airport with the scanner.
I disagree with reviewer: sky garden website is very clear that larch restaurant is NOT a part of sky garden and you have to make a separate booking for it. Unless they updated their website after the review (highly unlikely).
Definitely a lovely view of London.Written May 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

While not the biggest, it is probably the most ceremonial due to its location to the both the governmental center at Whitehall and Westminster and the public center at Trafalgar Square. In addition it has a nice lake running the length of the park that served as the drainage for much of Westminster and now a home for numerous waterfowl.
We visited the park during and after the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace before visiting the governmental areas of Westminster. It is a beautiful park that is made for pictures. From its westernmost bridge you can get great views of the London Eye. WE got one of our families best pictures of the trip there.Written May 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
