Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Ben BLondon, UK81 contributionsBeautifully preserved with well displayed exhibitions.
The Beefeater tour made the visit special.

- FarAway424190515472 contributionsA good hotel in London that is close to monuments and nice and clean. Breakfast was great.

- Nana464Greenville, SC24 contributionsWhat a fantastic & truly fascinating experience. The history of the place will leave you amazed at the true bravery of all the staff who worked down in the rooms during the war.
The museum itself is extremely well done & maintained - and beyond informative. Winston Churchill was truly an amazing leader.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We took the self-guided tour with audio and we pre-bought the souvenir guide - which we both enjoyed and thought it was well worth the money. The abbey is gorgeous and so full of history and beautiful crypts. Definitely NOT to be missed when you are visiting London.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Khalid - kmidegRiyadh, Saudi Arabia234 contributionsThis is one of major landmarks of London so many activities and lot of restaurants
Also so many fashion shops
I love the place where you can spend half a day walking around and rest for a food or drink
Usually they do some shows in the square which is so fun for kidsWritten 13 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - ChoppyBirmingham, UK943 contributionsI booked my tickets on Monday when the slots open up. I managed to book slots for the time we wanted to visit. I booked about 4 weeks in advance. You need to plan ahead unless you get lucky.
It’s better than the London eye. The Lookout at 8 Bishopsgate is great too as will be Horizon 22 which hasn’t opened for public viewing just yet. (2 days left!)
The doorman was a little abrupt about waiting elsewhere but I just ignored him and found my tickets on my phone. It wasn’t as if it was busy at 4:20ish when we got there. No queue and no one else around. On leaving at 5:00pm there was a massive queue of people and it looked hectic. Upstairs it wasn’t busy and plenty of seats to sit and have a drink as everyone was outside trying to get in. If you didn’t want to spend any money there was free tap water on the bar and paper cups. The rest of the staff were pleasant enough.
It’s called Sky Gardens but don’t be like the people who complain it’s not a real garden with no flowers. Who goes there for the actual plants and yes who could have guessed it not like Botanical Gardens! They’re just there to make it look more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.Written 18 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The history of the entire building was truly fascinating.
We took a tour led by a guide & were very pleased - he truly enjoyed his work and was so proud of his country.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our guides were lovely & passionate about their work, which added to the experience.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lauz ROxford, UK174 contributionsCatherine was a fantastic tour guide! This is a once in a lifetime kind of experience, well worth paying for and booking. The amount of steps seems daunting but it’s broken into 3 parts on the way up and a couple of parts on the way down and the guide kept checking on us to make sure we were ok. We were given ear plugs as it does get noisy but it is the best sound ever! I felt so patriotic. This tour lasts about 90 mins and I wouldn’t give it less than 5 stars but one major gripe is… we weren’t allowed water, now me and mum are asthmatic, going up steps in warm weather and the guide had water, she did give us some from a first aid box as we were desperate but it isn’t good we couldn’t take water, another gripe is we couldn’t take our phones for photos! But we made memories. It isn’t too easy to find, go to the Westminster entrance and it’s round there where someone will meet you and guide you where you should be, they do lock your valuables away safely whilst you’re on the tour. I’d definitely recommend this tour it was incredible, tiring but we’ll worth doingWritten 12 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlbermarleSurrey210 contributionsThe cathedral is unusual due to its age of around 325 years old. Most UK and European cathedrals are either much older, or relatively new. Although an Anglican cathedral, its design/decoration was heavily influenced by Catholic and Italian style. Some of the decoration is from Victorian period, and a small part was rebuilt after being demolished by a bomb in WW2.
The Whispering Gallery had very recently reopened after being fitted with an anti suicide fence. The steps up to are many, but quite shallow. They get steeper as you go higher to get a view over London.
Overall a more interesting experience than most cathedral visits. However even with a free tour, £70 for 3 adults is the main downside of the visit.Written 30 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

She absolutely loved it, although a bit scared at first (I knew she would love it when we were up there!!), it was just the initial ascend and descend a bit nerve wrecking for her but the team were absolutely wonderful, made her feel at ease and we all had some great conversations and laughs all the way up. The views were wonderful, the rain held out for us, and she got to experience London from new heights. Got some amazing pics up there!
The special chair they use for the climbs she said felt sturdy and comfortable. And massive thank you to the team Joey and Jonny who were our end of the climb, and Nathan and Karl at the top helping us get up. Such a lovely bunch of guys! Made the climb that extra more memorable as we had so much fun with them the entire way. Thank you!!
Just a heads up, first enquired about the climb in 2021 and was told it’s a 2 year wait as they only do 2 climbs a week for wheelchair users and only during limited months - weather permitting. We kept on chasing and a year and a half in we had a slot become available and went for it! Definitely keep on emailing as people do cancel, and you can be the first to know when they release the limited dates.
Oh and also enjoyed a glass of bubbly at the top to celebrate :) nice little add on! Definitely recommend!!Written 3 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The experience is amazing, the views awesome and you are so high up everything below looks like it’s in a model of London. The trains going in and out of London Bridge, particularly reminded us of a train set! Pretty awe-inspiring views. Service at the cocktail bar was very, very good, even though drinks are a tad expensive. However, this is a unique place to have a cocktail or a glass of champagne! All the staff were very friendly and engaging, so this was a very special event.Written 4 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jim F32 contributionsI had been wanting to visit the Globe Theatre to see a play for a long time. Finally manage it this year to see As You Like. A wonderful experience, watching a Shakespeare play in such an amazing setting. I hope this will be the first of many visits.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Hollie9 contributionsGreat tour of Stamford Bridge. I loved seeing the stadium and inside the locker rooms etc but the tour was made really enjoyable because of our tour guides Max and Fiona. They made the tour very entertaining also whilst showing their great knowledge of Chelsea FC. I would highly recommend a tour of Stamford Bridge guided by Max and Fiona.Written 19 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
