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 ...  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 ...  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, ...  Read the complete review

Being a fairly big history and war nut and having visited Duxford IWM numerous times I was not sure what to expect when visiting the London museum. Still essentially being in Central London it is very easy to get to if you are spending a few days in the capitol. Arriving at the museum you are presented with two impressive ex Royal Navy 15 inch ...  Read the complete review

The Imperial War Museum houses anexcellent record of our military history and unlike Man Utd rather pathetic attempt to conduct a European campaign there are plenty of success stories to celebrate and also plenty of ooprtunities to reflect on the horrors of war. Located near Elephant and Castle Tube which is about a five minute walk ...  Read the complete review

The Imperial War Museum has a longterm commitment to present the many stories connected to the Holocaust. The galleries are in a discrete location in the museum and are not recommended for visitors under the age of 14 because of the deeply disturbing nature of the material on display and narratives. The galleries deal with ...  Read the complete review

During my stroll around the four floors plus basement of this impressive monument to British military successes, jam packed with memorabilia and historical documents it made me realise what it is truly like to finally understand our position in Europe, after all I reflected on the fact that our cheese eating surrender monkeys across the channel ...  Read the complete review

While on a recent visit to London, we decided to go to the Imperial War Museum in the Lambeth area of the city (south of the Thames). Unfortunately, it was half-term so the museum was heaving with people, but it just goes to show what a popular place it is. A brief history of the museum... The Imperial War Museum was formally ...  Read the complete review

NAME OF LOCATION: Imperial War Museum, London BACKGROUND Robert, my boyfriend, and I enjoy visiting places of interest and this was on our “wish list”. We visited on a cold but dry November day in 2005. Occupying the former Bethlehem Hospital for the Insane (Bedlam), there are fascinating displays about war, including a ...  Read the complete review

As a child I always wanted to go to the Imperial War Museum, but whenever my family visited London there would always be more important things to do. When I moved to London it cost too much to get into, so I only finally went this year. As with all big museums, there's far too much there to see properly in one visit. I've now been twice, ...  Read the complete review

To my delight the 1940's house exhibition has been extended until January 2001- I thought having missed it in August that I would just have to make do with repeats on TV. This was not just a few museum exhibits - the whole house has been rebuilt in a large studio area of the museum. you walk through the entire house which is complete with an ...  Read the complete review

Firstly this is one of the easiest to get to museums in London. It is 5 minutes walk from Lambeth North (1 stop from Waterloo) and if you go after 4:30pm it's free!! I went to the museum for one reason - to see the new Holocaust exhibition. The exhibition is laid out in chronological order starting with the establishment of the ...  Read the complete review

The Museum is conveniently located 5 minutes walk from the nearest Tube station. The only outdoor exhibit is the massive pair of 15" guns in front of the main building. The signs warn not to climb on them - good advice. It should also be noted that the exhibits INSIDE the museum should not be climbed upon either, though in that case ...  Read the complete review

Why did the thought of going to the Imperial War Museum come into my mind? Vicky, my wife suggested it, I tagged along. I hadn't been to the place since I went as a boy with my Dad. Then, I was fascinated by war films, the Second World War, soldiers & uniforms (this all unconnected to killing)...I'm not that old (28) but this ...  Read the complete review

The Imperial War Museum never was high up on my list of must-see attractions. Wars just don’t do it for me. I mean let’s face it, for most people of my generation 1st and 2nd WWs are just history, something tiresome we have to learn about at school and memorise ‘so it won’t happen again’. And yet I find IWM ...  Read the complete review
