Ive been to the IWM about 50 times and up the air shard about 15 times. It's always disappointing to visit. When they cut the budget for the build, they should have gone further and canned it altogether. Maybe they did can it when they accepted a metal cladding. Put a similar building up in London and there would be ... Read the complete review

Imperial War Museum, Salford Quays During our weekend away with friends in Altringham we spent the day in Salford Quays visiting this museum and the Lowry centre. We arrived at the Quays by train which cost us £10 for four adults from Altringham for a day rover ticket which we thought was brilliant value. If you ... Read the complete review

The Imperial War Museum North is located in Manchester/Salford/Stretford (depending on where you're from!) and it is exactly what it says in the title, a war museum. On a waterfront setting, it's easily accessible by car both by travelling from the Manchester city centre or from the M60 ring-road. The museum is a few minutes ... Read the complete review

Dreadful museum that's not worth the entry price. Admission, I should add, is free. The main problem is that there is nothing in it - which is a bit fundamental in a museum. Odd bits of uniforms, a Trabant car (why?), a 13pdr gun, a few small arms, some letters from POW's, soldiers and civilians which, I assume, are to ... Read the complete review
