Anthony J. • February 15Surprisingly interesting museum, and recommend doing the tunnel tour first.

Victoria R. • March 8, 2014Lovely cafe at the rear of the museum. Very interesting museum with some items from Dickens' life. Rooms dressed as they would have been when he lived there.

Ann G. • August 24, 2011Well worth doing the tour here (open weekdays) for a proper bit of unseen London. The decor is amazing and the history fascinating.

Kit&kafoodle • October 14, 2014Awesome museum. Lots to see with incredibly detailed descriptions into the background of items. Beautiful buildings which don't detract from the artefacts.

Bess • May 26, 2012Eat in the Coram Cafe right next store--the food is amazing!

Galal G. • June 8, 2017An amazing collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts..absolutely packed! Free & strongly recommended to visit..

Elliott B. • August 26, 2015Nice small museum about London's canal history. Basin at back. You can book trips from here on a narrowboat. Short walk from King's Cross Station.

Ana V. • March 14, 2015Lovely to have a walk just enjoying the views

Lisa N. • September 24, 2017Fantastic museum. Allow at least 1.5 hours to do it justice. Best to book tickets online so you don't have to queue.

Alex C. • May 31, 2011It was much better than I anticipated it to be! The 5D ride was amazing although it would benefit if the guns actually worked. The tour was fun and the other rides were great! Worth the time and money

Aurelie S. • December 7, 2014Quirky and well preserved place. A little gem in SE1. A must see!

Chris L. • December 31, 2012Try the kids pirate fun day, great fun for all ages.

Lina B. • April 30, 2017Great for nurses and anyone fascinated to learn about how the field has evolved. Outside of the St Thomas hospital. Nice little souvenir shop inside to grab a few trinkets.

Time Out London • March 27, 2012Seemingly removed from the modern world, Handel House offers much to soothe and inspire for lovers of Georgian architecture, interiors and portrait painting.
