Londonist • May 24, 201010 chemical elements discovered here; 14 Nobel Prizes. A simply stunning history. But also a very welcoming, modern place with cafe, bar, restaurant and museum if you can get past the stuffy facade.

Richard G. • October 28, 2010Recommended: Not for the faint hearted, this two-floor museum offers both a brilliantly intellectual and educational experience - with everything from bones to pickled guts. Yum yum!

Jose L. • February 12, 2015Supposed to be the queen's personal gallery, it's open to public, it consist in mainly two exhibitions, it's located at the left side of the Buckingham palace, so if you are already there stop by.

Natalie M. • April 9, 2014Quite possibly one of the most hidden Egyptology gems out there, right in your backyard. Don't miss the emergency stairwell -- some of the best stuff is hidden there!

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

Philip G. • August 10, 2013Some fascinating props and costumes from the movies and FREE ADMISSION! The coffee bar downstairs is well worth a look too.

Gordon W. • November 21, 2010A hidden gem. Bit faded grandure but the artworks were a pleasant surprise.

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

Carl G. • June 20, 2016Excellent art exhibitions. The Japanese roof garden is delightful.

Jacques • September 3, 2018The Vault is a museum in the basement of the Hard Rock Cafe Shop dedicated to rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. The building used to be Coutts bank and the displays are locked behind the old vault doors.

Naomi L. • April 26, 2014The secluded garden is a lovely place to sit in the sun with a gorgeous piece of cake from the cafe, and you don't need to pay the entrance fee to enjoy the cafe and garden.

Mia B. • August 9, 2014The art is excellent. Usually quieter than National Gallery. The cafe is also a good meeting place.

Londonist • May 2, 2010Worth going for the giant model of London alone. But you'll pop back time and again for the informative and regularly changing architectural exhibitions. Free, friendly and informative.

Matt • March 23, 2014Much better than expected. Highly recommend using the audio guide.

HISTORY UK • February 10, 2011This ex Royal Navy sloop escorted Atlantic convoys in WW2. Since 1948 she’s been moored here as HQ of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners, and includes a museum and library.
