Imperial War Museums is a British national museum organisation with branches at five locations in England, three of which are in London.
United KingdomThe best part and the only reason we have visited many times,and the 5 star review is for the amazing collection of Victoran & George crosses. It makes me so proud & emotional, the amazing courage that was shown by these brave individuals! To think now that these will no longer be on show proves that the curators have completely lost the plot. This museum will definitely now not be one that we will ever visit again after the disregard & insult show to these very special individuals. Hang you heads in shame!
United KingdomNo queues at 1pm on the 9th August 2025 and we did not book before hand lots to do. Displays and volunteers were amazing,the Spite fire were well worth visiting for and so was Concorde and well work 5 stars, but the two cafes close at 4pm and 4.30pm NOT 6pm and they did not have the scones as advertised but the food? The lady who served us in the cafe was not friendly and had a very serious unfriendly face. The cast is 28 pounds for each adult.
United KingdomFirstly the volunteers are well informed and happy to talk and help. Due to the layout signage should be bigger and bolder. There are good lifts for disabled people so it's easy to get around. My only 2 real problems Were A) you are not aloud to sit or climb on the tanks and B) very small amounts on different battles throughout the 2nd world war. For instance my father fought in Palestine but that battle is in one case 6ft by 3ft
United KingdomVisited the IWM in London today. The best of all the exhibits was Lord Ashcroft Gallery and the main reason for me visiting the museum....120 Victoria, George Crosses and lots of medals. I really loved it but was sad to hear that this gallery will be closing this September. For improvement; the video at the entrance should be placed elsewhere as it interferes when one is trying to read factual information. There should be a quiet sitting area at the end of the gallery for viewing the video.
