This review is of the Imperial War Museum in London, a military museum marking the contribution made by the armed forces over the centuries. I visited the museum in early April 2012, and for anyone interested in going, it's best to make a visit sooner rather than later as from August 2012 many of the large objects are being ...

We visited the Imperial War Museum as part of our London holiday. The museum is quite easy to find, around five minutes taxi ride from Big Ben, London Eye and the Houses of Parliament and is opposite the Days Hotel Waterloo. Its nearest tube station is Lambeth North, around 10 minutes walk from the museum. It is an ... Read the complete review

I must say that I'm generally not too into History unless it's been in a film, but my girlfriend is doing an MA in History, and seeing as I found the prospect of looking at a bunch of huge guns quite alluring, we decided to go to the Imperial War Museum. The first thing to remember is that it is free to get into the museum, ... Read the complete review

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 ... 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 ...

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 ... 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 ...

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 ...

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 ... 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 ...

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 ... 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 ... 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 ... 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 ... 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 ...
