I was eager to visit this place. And upon first glance i thought it would be a great gallery. But once inside i was massively disappointed. I covered most of the place in an hour or two, which some say may be quick but the art was of a poor standard. One painting looked like a paintbrush was planted in the anus of gorilla and he rubbed his bottom over a canvas. I would not visit again.I was eager to visit this place.

The Imperial War Museum is housed in an impressive building that is located close to Lambeth North underground station. A day can easily be spent at this museum but I'd suggest, as entry is free, to spend a half-day here and come back to see the rest another time. The display of tanks and aircraft is impressive and the holocaust exhibition is particularly interesting but you will need to put aside maybe a couple of hours if you want to go through the exhibition thoroughly. The Imperial War Museum does have a cafe if you need a break!
Overall I'd highly recommend this museum.The Imperial War Museum is housed in an impressive building that is located close to Lambeth North underground station.

Just a quick note- we went to visit this Museum at the start of August and being a Tea addict I was far too excited about it. Unfortunately, when we finally arrived (it is another hidden one- we tried to follow the signposts and use our own London map but I think we ended up going round in circles) we found that it was shut. Not only was it shut, it seemed to have been for a while, which was thoroughly disappointing as there was no notice about this anywhere. As it is out of the way I would phone ahead to check if it is open, or even still in business!

(it gets one star as I can't not rate it!)Just a quick note- we went to visit this Museum at the start of August and being a Tea addict I was far too excited about it.
