Interesting presentation of history at 5 floors. You will be welcomed by pair of 15-inch naval guns. We especially enjoyed infamous V2 rocket as well as cool Hawker Harrier installation. Definitely worth of visit while in London.

Incredible museum with mind blowing story telling capacity. Too much to do in one visit so it’s worth picking one area & benefitting from the wealth of knowledge presented.

War Museum. Old-fashioned building, English lawn, free museum open to the public. There is a double-barrel gun at the gate, and many children take pictures in front of the cannon. There are many tourists here, many are family visits, adults with children, and many schools organize students to come here to study. The entire museum shows the wars of the British Empire, with physical objects, models, and photo exhibition boards. The overall display area is not very large, and there are not many exhibits and introductions related to each war, which is more refined. Unlike the domestic military exhibition, which focuses on grand narratives, the exhibits here are not the most famous, but they are more representative, which can explain the situation at the time. In addition to presenting historical facts, the text introduction emphasizes more reasons and consequences before the event, impact, and more descriptions of details. It takes about an hour or two to finish the visit, because the place is not big, sometimes there are more people, a bit crowded.
