Imperial War Museum (London)Newest Review: ... close to Lambeth tube station. I was really amazed with the well laid models and replica right from the entrance. The Super marine Spitfire, the big tank, German V-2 rocket, submarine and missile were just too good. I really believe this museum has achieved its mission of educating people about great wars and the way they have influenced our lives. You can really find a vast collection of ... more |

Imperial War Museum (London) -Remember the war days !! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I heard about this museum umpteen times from my friends but it was only recently (a month back) I called on this fantastic museum. The museum is free like most of the other museums in London and is located in a vantage point close to Lambeth tube station. I was really amazed with the well laid models and replica right from the entrance. The Super marine Spitfire, the big tank, German V-2 rocket, submarine and missile were just too good.

I recently visited the Imperial war museum in London with my Nephew and had a great day out. With so much to see and lots to do this is a fantastic museum for adults and kids. The imperial war museum is located on Lambeth road in London and is about 5 minutes walk from Lambeth and Elephant & Castle tube stations (northern line). The museum is open 7 days a week 10am - 6pm (except 24-26 December) and admission is free. Entrance Set back off the main road, the museum has a courtyard to walk through with a navel gun on display. My nephew couldn't believe how big it was and I have to say it is an impressive display before you even enter the ... Read the complete review

As someone born in the Eighties, the 2 world wars seem like a very long time ago, and something that I can not really relate to. I do hold an interest in the wars as it is something which grabbed and held my attention when we studied the topics in school. The museum however, brings it to life! The museum has several large floors, all split into differing areas of war and the military in general. From the trenches of the first world war, to espionage and the MI5 and MI6 and to the hard-hitting floor dedicated to the holocaust. Upon entering, you are greeted by tanks, submarines and planes, the majority of which you are able to touch, but ... Read the complete review

A museum that my husband and I visit on a regular basis is the Imperial War Museum in London. It is a must-see for those who have an interest in anything to do with the Military. The building was built in 1811 and was originally the 'Bethlehem Royal Hospital for the Insane'. It is an impressive building with two massive battleship guns in the front of the building. I must admit that I am not keen on war, but the creative displays and the way that the volume of information is presented is both informative and accessible, and is bound to impress anyone. When you walk into the museum you are immediately confronted by an immense central hall filled with all ... Read the complete review

The Imperial War Museum has 5 branches, 3 of which are in London, we visited the branch known as Imperial War Museum London, located on Lambeth Road. The museum was easy to get to, we walked from the London Eye which took about 15 - 20 minutes at a 6 year olds pace. The nearest tube station is Elephant and Castle or Lambeth North, both a short walk away. The Museum is housed in an old hospital built in 1815 which is set back from the road and is accessed through well maintained gardens. There are two naval guns outside the building. The museum is free to get in although there may be a charge for some special exhibitions so it is worth ... Read the complete review
