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.

What travellers are saying
- Romina LBuenos Aires, Argentina58 contributionsWent there to the Alexander the great exhibition. It was great, very informative,interactive, it was perfectly designed in each room. I also looked around the building and loved it. Got to see the Carta Magna and several other tings they have in the collection.

- sakuraLondon, UK2 contributionsWe used this as we are platinum Amex cardholders.
At the entrance there is a QR code you need to scan. This gives you a virtual position in the queue. We were told to expect a wait time of 30mins but it actually only took 15mins.
The lounge itself is fairly small for T5 but has all the amenities including a serviced bar and great 1 person options if traveling solo. Plenty of space to sit in a booth or table.
We came at 8.45am on a Friday and they were serving hot breakfast (scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, baked beans) which was ok. Cold breakfast options also available.
Overall would visit again.Written 20 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It meant to be a Christmas show not many decoration stalls, food hall very expensive and not enough seating.
Won’t go again this is out last time sad but we will spend our money somewhere else next year.Written 15 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Your lounge is great and very comfortable, but please, consider paying more attention towards your dishes. The glassware seems filthy and very worn out. So many scratches and stains on glassware that I am afraid to even touch them. Please either consider changing your dishes or the washing machines. I understand we are in the middle of the crisis and that it may not be possible, but please, at least provide bottled water so that customers do not use this horrible glassware. In addition, I cannot say your staff were very helpful in resolving this issue when I raised it. It is unacceptable given the current epidemiological condition. Not attaching photos, because I do not want to make your staff upset, who are doing very hard work, but feel free to go into your lounge and see for yourselves please.Written 29 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jasonfJ3710UC2 contributionsThe visa application process is rather daunting at the outset. One could imagine that the UK and Russia were at loggerheads However, that been said, the staff at the Tourist Office did what was asked, efficiently and politely and I now have my visa. I still can't go but will get there one day, after all ,I've only been waiting 40 years.Written 3 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sheepygoldlondon5,251 contributionsI have been here for exhibitions before but years ago. The exhibition this time was about Shackleton's I'll fated expedition to the Antarctic. The story is amazing and the photos are outstanding and beautiful. I can recommend this exhibition to anyone.Written 17 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland17,550 contributionsIt’s always a positive for an area or city when there is a good visitor center close to major transport links. This is useful and with helpful staff!Written 15 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BluebellplasnewyddCardiff, UK1,632 contributionsThis is a vast former agricultural hall in trendy Islington. There is an hotel and underground parking as well as easy access to the underground. Plenty of exhibition space with fixed niche commercial outfits around the periphery. A small selection of average restaurants but plenty of places to eat nearby.Written 19 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AL1873Vancouver, Canada236 contributionsThis was the first stop of the day on my visit to Greenwich. The visitor centre is free to enter and has some very informative displays on the history of the Greenwich area. It's a great way to get an introduction and idea of what you'll be seeing for the day. Also wondered the surrounding grounds and it was absolutely beautiful.

The food was okay but very basic, the wine was horrendous but whisky’s were alright. Extra cost for champagne. You’ll fight over seats near the window, which is confusing because the view is shocking, just a main road. I won’t be going back but it that way.Written 23 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Amanda O2 contributionsI first learned of this library and exhibitions when starting a new job and seeing posters in a nearby train station. Lock down being on-and-off and my work hours having to be quite fluid, it has taken me around a year to actually make the short walk here. I managed to secure a slot in the middle of the day for the 'Death Marches - Evidence and Memory' exhibition. I am so glad I managed to work my day around this event. The exhibition was small but still informative. Funds are still neded to help with ongoing research into srories that should never have been (or ever should be) forgotten. There is still a lot we don't know about these people, their lives and/or deaths, but the work continues. A wonderful gem of a place overlooking Russell Square. Working over at the nearby hospital, I am conscious of the precautions in place with respect to invection control, and the staff here cannot be faulted! Displays and the visiting public very well set out, no real possibility of tripping over each other here. I will certainly be back - maybe for longer once Corronavirus restrictions are no longer deemed nescessary.Written 22 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James TLondon, UK30 contributionsI enjoy using the lounge upon my arrival although it has recently changed its prices. I was suprised to find that there is now an additional cost for the shower. Otherwise, a calm and pleasant place to relax after a long flightWritten 15 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
