Can I bring a pushchair on HMS Belfast?

What to Expect...

Step aboard HMS Belfast, a historic Royal Navy warship moored on the Thames between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Families can explore nine decks of real ship spaces, from open-air viewpoints to the engine and boiler rooms below.

It is more than a museum visit. Children can discover how around 950 people lived and worked on board, with original spaces including the bakery, chapel, mess decks and sick bay. Interactive displays, a family audio guide and regular activities help bring the ship’s stories to life.

Plan at least three hours, although many families stay for half a day. HMS Belfast is best suited to children who enjoy history, transport and hands-on exploring. Some routes include steep ladders, narrow walkways and uneven surfaces, so younger children may not explore every area.

Good to know before you book: under 5s go free, children under 16 need an adult with them, and family activities run every weekend and daily during school holidays.

What's On - Activities and Highlights

HMS Belfast gives families a chance to explore a real Royal Navy cruiser in the middle of London. You can move through historic living quarters, working rooms and open-air decks while learning how the ship served during the Second World War, the Arctic Convoys and the Korean War.

Explore a real floating city
HMS Belfast was home to around 950 people and had its own bakery, chapel and medical spaces. As you move across the ship, you can see how daily life worked on board in both wartime and peacetime.
Nine decks to discover
Explore HMS Belfast from the open-air upper decks to the engine and boiler rooms below. Its ladders, narrow passageways and historic spaces make this a far more hands-on experience than a typical museum visit.
Your ticket includes access to accessible visitor areas across the ship's nine decks.
Views, stories and family activities
The ship’s riverside setting gives you impressive views of Tower Bridge and central London. Combined with included audio guides and regular family activities, that makes HMS Belfast easy to turn into a longer day out.
