HMS Belfast is great and the only way to describe it is as a floating museum. I think it’s is a really good way of remanding ourselves of the hard work of service men and women by having a real battleship permanently docked on the Thames. Inside the ship is great with loads of interactive video screens and lots of replica parts of a real ship. There is loads of stuff o see like the radar screens and sonar and stuff. Walking on the deck is also really fun as you able to see a lot of the area around the Thames even though you are not very high up.

HMS Belfast 22nd August 2008

I went on the HMS Belfast with a group of friends - we had some strange idea that it would be hilarious. It was actually really interesting. It was a very sunny day so standing on the deck was really nice, and they had lots of replica 'things' you could sit in.
The inside of the boat is like a floating museum, you walk round looking at lots of different areas and how and where the people on the boat would have slept.
One thing to keep in mind is the stairs, they are basically a ladder so could potentially be a struggle for quite a few people (i'm thinking pushchairs and elderly people). It was a good few hours out though!

I did the overnight sleepover on HMS Belfast with a youth group. It ws a great experience. A tour and quiz in included, followed by sleeping in the bunk rooms - certainly an experience! then in the morning they give you a basic breakfast and wil look after your bags while you go into london.

they also do a video display and have loads of staff who know what they are talking about.

Day visits are a lot cheaper but the sleepover ws £30 - A real bargain.
