Arundel Cathedral of Our Lady & St Philip Howard

Mentioned on 
+24 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Arundel Cathedral of Our Lady & St Philip Howard is a stunning example of French-Gothic style architecture, adorned with intricate stained-glass rose windows. Constructed in 1873 and situated high above the market town, it is an impressive sight both from afar and up close. The cathedral is well maintained and has clean facilities, but parking may be challenging during busy times. During the Lenten season, all statues within are draped in purple fabric.
The cathedral is beautiful. It stands above the town at the top of a hill. Lots of history and gothic architecture. It has one of the most beautiful organs i have seen! There is no entrance fee, but you make a donation.
Emma C — Google review
We visited during the flower festival. The building is already so beautiful, but was even more enhanced with all of the gorgeous flower displays. You could tell that so much work and thought had gone into each and every design. Entry is free, but they do ask for donations to help fund the show and cathedral understandably. During the flower festival there were also lots of stalls around.
Emily C — Google review
Loved the turrets as it gave Catherdral different look from our more traditional ones. Lovely high fan vaulted nave (more like a French design). If visiting the castle then worth popping in here too, walking distance.
Debbie P — Google review
Free to go in and wallet around. Beautiful Cathedral inside, not overly big but good to spend 30+mins in if you just want to look. Worth checking online what time services etc are so it's definitely open to walk around at the time you want to go. I didn't see a toilet so not sure if there was one. There is a small gift shop there that is usual price for these kind of shops but not overly expensive so we did buy something, especially as it didn't cost to go in. Parking can be had in the road outside for free. We have been twice, once on a summer's day and once on a quieter autumn day and both times we managed to find parking. If you enjoy looking round beautiful churches then this is definitely worth a visit and the town of Arundel is a few mins walk down the hill and there is another old church over the road you can also visit. Definitely worth a stop off.
Susie D — Google review
Incredibly beautiful building, reminiscent of Westminster in architecture. If you look outside, there are many different statues and meticulous work. Inside there is nothing special, but you can sit and enjoy the sunlight coming in
John — Google review
Visiting Arundel to finally get to visit Arundel castle. Visited the cathedral as part of our stay. The church was built by Henry XV Duke of Norfolk. The building was complete in just 3 years and opened 1st July 1873. The cathedral is very impressive and can been seen from most parts of Arundel as high on the hill. There is free on street parking to the side of the Cathedral. With a good pub st Mary's in the gate next to it. The cathedral has some beautiful stained glass windows and decorative church organ. Well worth a visit. Some of the best views are from inside the gardens at Arundel castle. Make sure you also visit St Nicolas Church just over the road.

Castle
Nature & Parks
Arundel Castle is a historic site with a crenellated Norman keep, gatehouse, and barbican. It offers guided tours and hosts jousting events. The castle's grounds are perfect for picnics and leisurely walks by the River Arun. The annual Tulip Festival at the castle showcases thousands of colorful blooms each spring. Nearby gardens like Denmans Garden and Woolbeding Gardens offer peaceful settings with inspiring planting combinations and scenic landscapes.
We really enjoyed our visit. So much better that we thought it would be. We visited all parts and needed five hours to do so. The castle is stunning to see close up. The interior is vast. The gardens excellent. All very well maintained. Unlike National Trust properties all the guides are paid, not volunteers. They know the history well. The views across the countryside from the battlements and lovely. I recommend visiting. It is worth every penny of the entrance fee.
Rowland W — Google review
A must see. The castle is huge and very interesting to visit. One can see the different periods of time of its occupation. The interiors exhibit very well reconstructed rooms. The garden is very rich and diverse. The stumpery was our favorite part, in particular thanks to the autumn colours. Full tour of the castle and gardens took us about 3 hours.
Arthur T — Google review
Stunning castle for history, art, and design lovers! Walking through the castle and keep felt like entering one of my many childhood drawings. The weather was lovely and the gardens made me si happy—there are greenhouses to visit, a rose garden, ponds, and so many wonderful interiors for a great day trip from London. Thank you!
Wan Q — Google review
Such an incredible experience! Visiting from the states, so I don't get a lot of castle tours, but this one was simply exceptional. From the gardens, to the castle tour, to the guides, and the cafe, we left with an amazing experience and tons of stunning shots! Highly recommend planning for a sunny day to enjoy the beautiful gardens. Truly an unforgettable experience! The setups were stunning to see and the staff was more than friendly and informative. Plus, the food was great! We shared a sausage roll and pasty, but ate it too quickly to snap a photo! If you're in the area, or wanting to make a day trip to the south, can't suggest Arundel further! It took us three to four hours to clear the grounds and castle altogether- it's worth the ticket!
Maddy H — Google review
Lovely place. Bit pricey, but the castle and grounds are huge, so you can spend most of the day there. It's really well set up, with a specific route that takes you through the whole castle and learn about its history. The gardens are equally stunning. Great visit. Would recommend.
Ilona C — Google review
Google's 50 picture limit means I can't show you the superior quality of this place. My favourite castle in the country, somewhere I've always wanted to visit, and by a long way the best one I've ever been to. I loved every second of being in here, I'd do it all again. The Duke of Norfolk is a very lucky man, to own this place must be a very special experience.
Simon B — Google review
11th century castle has impressive grounds and you can explore the castle. Very informative volunteers who are happy to showcase the part of the castle they are located in. Beautiful gardens. The gift shop is lovely. One of the first houses to be fitted with electrical lights. Closes soon in early November
June R — Google review
The most beautiful castle I've ever been too. Have visited before pre baby and did the whole castle, but attended again recently to visit the gardens only as had the baby in the pram which is not accessible in the castle for prams. It was absolutely stunning and better than I remembered. Looked extra lovely in the sunshine. Gardens were beautiful. The garden cafe was great, friendly lady there. Toilets also clean and spacious. We also met the lovely little puppy Titus who was wondering the grounds with it's owner.

Overall this is an absolute amazing and a thoroughly outstanding place to visit, which makes for a pleasant and relaxing day out. Definitely well worth a visit whilst in Arundel.

This reserve is a gem. It is compact, but diverse. It was also remarkably uncrowded for a late August Saturday. We saw quite a range of wild birds. I would recommend the boat safari. Even though we did not see a lot of birds, it was a true "Nature Watch mindfulness moment". The staff were very welcoming and helpful (even when we were among the last in the shop after official closing time). The cafe makes a good cup of coffee and there we a great selection of sweet treats (including vegan cakes).
Gavin J — Google review
I brought my elderly Mum and we had a wonderful time wondering around, watching the gorgeous wetland birds. Mum has a walking frame, was able to walk on the even tracks and was glad to be able to sit down whenever she needed to. We enjoyed pumpkin spice lattes and carrot cake in the café too!

Beautiful place, birds are awesome, Pelicans were very cool! Calm and quiet, lots of information from info boards and staff, lots of fun routes. We went will small children who listen well, there are areas that are very close to water, may be worth taking reins or pushchair for very little ones.

We went here over October half term and loved it. We stayed from 10 am until 3pm doing all the different activities etc. they had lots of Halloween related activities like wand making and potion making. Then we did a boat ride through the wetlands. The kids rand wild and loved being outside and seeing all the birds. We brought our own picnic, which I recommend to do.

Museums
The Natural History Museum, located in South Kensington, is a renowned institution that celebrates the marvels of the natural world. Established in 1881, this iconic London museum boasts an extensive collection of specimens and interactive displays covering diverse topics such as dinosaurs, fossils, gemstones, and meteorites. Visitors are treated to a journey through time and space as they explore the rich diversity of life on Earth and the powerful forces that have shaped our planet over millions of years.
I have such fond memories of the Natural History Museum from school trips and visits over the years. I’ve been several times as an adult too, with friends, family, and visitors to London, it’s always a wonderful experience. The main attraction is, of course, the incredible dinosaur displays, which never fail to impress. There’s so much to see and do, from fascinating exhibits to a beautiful garden outside that’s well worth exploring. Entry is free, and there are plenty of cafés and places to eat and drink inside. I’d definitely say this is a must visit for anyone coming to London, especially if you have children who love dinosaurs, it’s truly amazing.
Tanya L — Google review
You can book a time slot ticket for free online before hand. This ensures you dont have to queue if it gets too busy. Truly a must visit Museum in London. There are so many different exhibitions that you can easily spend 3 hours here. Of course the main attraction is the Blue whale skeleton, called hope. It weighs 4.5tonnes and measures 25.2m long. This is a real blue whale skeleton and not a model! Can you imagine! There is a dinosaur exhibition and for your info, most of the bones on display are actual dinosaur bones! If you see its dated, then its real dinosaur bones. Other than that there are other paid exhibitions available throughout the museum.

The museum is well-maintained and full of interesting collections. Natural History Museum in London and was truly impressed. The building itself is stunning with its grand architecture and detailed interior. The dinosaur and gemstone exhibits were fascinating and well-organized. I especially enjoyed the interactive sections that make learning fun for both kids and adults. Spending few hours here may not enough. I recommend booking paid tickets for elderly visitors.

Always love going to museums where ever I go to take in the local perspective. It is free entry with donation recommended, which is easy once you see what this place has to offer. This would have been one of the larger sites I have visited in my travels. It has a large variety of collections spanning several floors. I really enjoyed most of the galleries I saw, with their interactive displays that complement the static representations. We literally spent all afternoon their until close and still didn't get a chance to see the whole building. Missing out on the Darwin, and some of the green sector. From what we did see the rest of the place would be just as amazing. Since it's free entry it can definitely be a 2 day walk about. The place is large and requires a bit of sauntering. There are lots of benches and presentations that you can sit while you watch. Which is nice for those who have mobility challenges. Overall, a great visit but if you really like to hit every inch, it's a whole day visit so keep that in mind.
Kyle ( — Google review
The museum is completely free and displays some very valuable pieces, especially in the dinosaur section. You’ll find one of the best-preserved plesiosaurs and also one of the original archaeopteryx specimens. For children, it’s definitely fun with plenty of activities and buttons to press. The building itself is also beautiful—it alone is worth the trip. Unfortunately it is also very crowded, don’t forget to book in advance to avoid the queue.
Riccardo G — Google review
There is so much to see and do so plan a full day for the museum If you’re into dinosaurs they have a wonderful exhibit or you can just enjoy the magnificent building that houses the museum Learn about the Earth the wonders that produces in all the stones and rocks or travel through and learn about tides to volcanoes And don’t forget to visit the area where you can learn about the DNA structure and how the team behind the scenes are working to match the DNA, eradicate disease or just carry out the research needed to ensure that no more species go extinct There is something for everyone young and old . And after all the exploring and learning stop at one of the multiple coffee shops or restaurants throughout the museum space and grab something to eat and drink . There are options to meet any eaters requirements Entrance to the museum is free but pre-book your ticket online before you go to avoid standing in long queues.

Museums
Art gallery
The Victoria and Albert Museum, also known as the V&A, is a treasure trove of art and design spanning 5,000 years. It features a permanent collection of 2.3 million objects including stunning garments, dazzling jewelry, intricate mosaics, and ancient sculptures. The museum is currently hosting two remarkable exhibitions: 'Windrush 75,' which commemorates a significant historical event, and 'DIVA,' celebrating iconic performers.
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is one of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited. It’s a celebration of art, design, and human creativity from across the world. The building itself is stunning, and every gallery feels thoughtfully arranged. You can easily spend hours exploring everything from fashion and textiles to sculpture, jewellery, photography, and furniture. One of the highlights is the fashion collection, which shows how style has evolved over centuries. The sculpture galleries are equally captivating, with pieces from ancient times to modern artists. The museum does an excellent job of combining history with contemporary design, making it both educational and inspiring. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, and the museum is well signposted, which helps when navigating such a large space. Entry is free, though some special exhibitions require tickets. The café and gift shop are also worth visiting for a quick break or a unique souvenir. Overall, the Victoria and Albert Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in art, culture, or history. It’s a place that sparks curiosity and appreciation for creativity in all its forms a true gem in the heart of London.

I recently visited the V&A with a friend to see the Cartier Exhibition. It was great, even though it was a bit crowded, which meant no hanging about. However, there were opportunities to return to an exhibit if you wished. I visited on a lovely autumn afternoon and the colourful trees outside added to my enjoyment. There's also a beautiful cafe for a wide selection of food and drinks. It's one of my favourite museums to visit as they put on great exhibitions on a wide variety of subjects. I recommend it highly as a wonderful place to visit anytime.

If you’re anywhere near South Kensington, the Victoria & Albert Museum is one of those places you absolutely must pop into. As someone who’s lived in England for years, I can honestly say the V&A never gets old. What surprised me the most on my recent visit was just how incredible the ceramics collection is. If you’re even slightly into pottery, porcelain, glazes, or anything to do with craft and kiln work, you’ll be blown away. There are shelves and walls filled—and I mean filled—with pieces from all over the world, from tiny delicate bowls to massive vases taller than a child. You could easily spend half a day in the ceramics section alone. And it’s not just ceramics. The museum has an impressive range of sculptures as well—scrubbs, marble carvings, classical statues, and pieces that make you wonder how on earth someone carved something so smooth out of stone. You walk through a hall and suddenly you’re surrounded by history in 360 degrees. The jewellery gallery is another highlight. It’s not just “oh that’s pretty”—it’s genuinely fascinating. Crowns, brooches, rings, intricate metalwork… some pieces are hundreds of years old, shining under the lights like they were made yesterday. One thing I really love about the V&A is how hands-on it feels. They’ve got sections where you can take a closer look at materials, textures, and even a few areas where touching certain samples is allowed. And if you love photography or design, the V&A has a bit of everything—fashion, textiles, prints, historical photos. It’s like a treasure chest that never ends. Honestly, if you’re truly into art, craftsmanship, or history, one day is nowhere near enough. You think you’ll breeze through it, but the more you look, the more there is. It’s the kind of place where you follow one hallway, and suddenly you’ve discovered an entirely new world. So yes—highly recommended. If you’re visiting London, the V&A should be right near the top of your list. Free entry, world-class collections, and genuinely inspiring. Come for an hour and you’ll wish you stayed the whole day.

An exceptional museum in London. A must. I became a member and well worth the investement. The Cartier exhibit was absolutely exception, I saw it three times. The Marie Antoniette exhibit was another I enjoyed. How Marie Antionette continues to influence fashion today. The section on South East Asia have pieces from the Great Exhibit which are a history through fabric, jewellery with influences from invaders, colonialism and fashion of the time. Even French fashionwas influenced by the famous pashmina Kashmiri shawls still worn today.Dupattas have not changed October 31st Friday the museum stayed open till 22h00. With a great party atmosphere We could visit certain exhibits till then. Enjoy a drink in the foyer with a DJ. It was electric. Staff were kind, helpful

My visit to the Victoria & Albert Museum was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. As I entered the galleries connected to Punjab and Sikh history, I felt a deep emotional connection. The artifacts linked to Maharaja Ranjit Singh—his weapons, jewelry, and artistic treasures—were beautifully preserved and displayed with great respect. Seeing them filled me with immense pride for my heritage. The staff at the museum were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Each section was well-explained and thoughtfully organised. For anyone interested in Punjab, Sikh history, or Indian heritage, the V&A Museum is truly a treasure. I highly recommend this museum to every traveller visiting London. It’s not just a museum—it’s a place where you feel connected to your roots.

I have visited this museum a handful of times and each time I discover a new corner with interesting artifacts and art. It is a large eclectic mix of objects and collections in a giant Victorian style building from antique playing cards (pictured) to old Dutch portraits (pictured). The cafe (also pictured) is excellent and the special exhibits are top notch. I saw the Marie Antoinette special exhibit (fans and book photos) and it was well curated. They even had the Guillotine she allegedly met her end by. I highly recommend this museum if you have a few hours to spend in west London.

The V&A is well worth a visit. The collections are so varied that there really is something to interest almost everyone. The special exhibit I saw was also well worth paying the extra to see it. The glass exhibit on the top floor was very interesting. You might miss it if you spend all your time on the lower floors. The photos are from 2023.

Best museum in London and it's free! Would take all day or longer to see everything as there is so many amazing things to see. Particularly all the jewellery from all over the world in one place and objects from cultures through the ages. Don't miss the Luck of Edenhall, which is an intact 600 year old Syrian vase, which must people seem to miss as it was in a quiet section with noone around. The cafe is also excellent in beautiful surroundings.

Specialty Museums
Madame Tussauds London is a renowned wax museum and a top tourist spot in the city. Founded by Marie Tussaud, it features lifelike wax replicas of famous celebrities, historical figures, and members of the Royal Family. The museum offers 14 interactive areas with over 300 stunning wax figures from various fields such as movies, sports, music, fashion, politics, history, and fiction. It's an ideal place for family visits as there are activities suitable for all ages.
I had an amazing experience at the Madame Tuassads London. I have already been to other places but this one was different. In addition to various wax statues there was a ride which was very beautiful. Also there was 3D show which was star of the whole lot. Would highly recommend even if you have visited other wax museums. Its clean and wait time is not much.
Keerthan P — Google review
Had a good time with family, spent around 2hrs at the venue.kudos to the entire team for excellent crowd control. Around 80% of the wax statue look stunning and fantastic, rest felt like a dummy one. The special attraction was "Spirit of London" ride, which is a themed taxi ride through the city's history, and not a conventional train ride. The ride uses iconic black cabs to take visitors on a 5-minute journey through London's history and cultural events which also includes wax figures, immersive exhibits, and a 4D cinema.
Shanavas S — Google review
Had a great time! There’s quite a collection to explore, with some truly fascinating stories, science section and even a few spooky horror rooms. The organisation and presentation were excellent, and the cable ride through centuries of history was absolutely epic! I didn’t see many staff around, but I didn’t really need any help. Overall, I had an amazing time and would highly recommend it!

Madame Tussauds London is an absolutely fantastic attraction that offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. From the moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by incredibly realistic wax figures of world-famous celebrities, movie stars, sports legends, and historical icons, each crafted with stunning attention to detail. The atmosphere is vibrant and immersive, allowing you to feel as though you’re truly standing beside your favourite personalities. The themed sections, such as the Marvel Super Heroes zone and the Star Wars experience, are especially exciting and beautifully designed, making it feel like you’ve stepped right into the movies. The Spirit of London ride is also a highlight l, a fun and educational journey through the city’s rich history. Whether you’re snapping selfies with the royals, striking a pose on the red carpet, or enjoying the interactive displays, Madame Tussauds offers something for everyone. It’s not just a museum, it’s a celebration of culture, fame, and creativity. A must-visit destination in London that guarantees fun, laughter, and great memories! 🌟🎭📸

I had a fantastic experience at Madame Tussauds London! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was exciting and full of energy. The wax figures are incredibly lifelike — it honestly felt like standing right next to world-famous celebrities, historical icons, and even superheroes. The interactive zones made the visit even more enjoyable. The Marvel and Star Wars experiences were highlights for me, and I loved how immersive the settings were. Everything was well-organized, and staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. It’s not just about seeing the figures — it’s about the journey through culture, history, film, sports, and music all in one place. A great mix of fun, photo opportunities, and a bit of awe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in London!

Great experience! It's more than just the wax figures, it's really interactive with lots of variety. We enjoyed the taxi ride through London as well as the Avengers 4D cinema experience. Would recommend, and at the gift shop you can also get £10 tickets to the London Eye, Shrek Experience or London Dungeon, bargain!
Bethany M — Google review
Ever dreamed of rubbing shoulders with a celebrity? Here’s your big moment! Sure, they’re made of wax—but honestly, some of them look so real you might start asking for an autograph. It’s pure fun from start to finish! Right now, there’s a 4D Marvel Heroes show that’s epic—and don’t even get me started on the Star Wars part (it’s out of this galaxy!). Pro tip: grab your tickets early to save a few bucks!

Madame Tussauds was such a fun experience! The wax figures look unbelievably real ,it’s like walking through a celebrity world. The Marvel and Royal Family sections were my favourites. It does get busy, but totally worth it for the photos and the atmosphere.

Camden Market is a vibrant and diverse market in London that draws in over a quarter of a million visitors weekly. It encompasses several interconnected indoor and outdoor markets, offering an extensive range of products from fashion and homeware to food and alcohol. The market reflects the unconventional subcultures of Camden with stalls catering to alternative fashion styles like cybergoth, steampunk, and grunge.
Absolutely loved my first visit here. So much to see and do. The shops on offer are well stocked and so friendly. The food offerings are mouth watering. I thought it was all rather well priced and more importantly clean and safe. If you haven't been make a plan. Simply a must visit destination.
Zane C — Google review
Camden Market is one of the most vibrant and lively places to visit in London! You’ll find an incredible variety of shops selling everything from souvenirs to clothing, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable if you know how to bargain. I found keychains and magnets at a great deal — around 12 for £10 — which is much cheaper than most other tourist spots. If you’re into fashion, this place won’t disappoint. There are stalls offering trendy jackets, accessories, and unique handmade items that you probably won’t find anywhere else. The highlight, though, has to be the Camden Lock Food Market. It’s absolutely fabulous! You can try mouthwatering street food from around the world — everything from Asian, Mexican, and Italian to vegan delicacies — all at reasonable prices. The vibrant ambience, the smell of freshly cooked food, and the buzzing crowd make the whole experience unforgettable. And dont forget the boat life where you will see boat to go from ground floor to first floor which is quite a unique experience. One of the most picturesque spots here is the area with colourful umbrellas hanging overhead — perfect for photos! The entire market has an artsy, bohemian vibe that makes it a wonderful place to spend a relaxed day wandering around, shopping, eating, and just soaking in the energy. Whether you’re with friends, family, or your partner, Camden Market is definitely one of the best places to spend your day and experience the real charm of London

We did a food tour here via secret food tours over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was so much fun! Definitely recommend! So many things to see in Camden market and so many delicious restaurants! This would be a great place to get souvenirs to bring back for friends and family as well. Come hungry so you can try a bunch of different food vendors!

It's a beautiful market where you can find everything. Whether you take the main road or walk along the canal from King's Cross, the place is beautiful. The food is diverse, and the venues are diverse. It has a festive atmosphere with small vendors selling goods and venues like the cyborg venue.

Camden Market in London is a very lively and crowded place, full of energy, music, and delicious street food from all around the world. It can be difficult to find a place to sit, so it’s a good idea to grab your food and sit on the stairs or by the canal to enjoy the view. I tried the potato shop there, and it was super tasty and fresh. I also had strawberries with chocolate from another stand—so delicious! Even though it’s busy, the atmosphere is amazing and full of life. A great spot to experience London’s unique culture and food scene.
Shatha A — Google review
I went to Camden Market with my family. There’s an incredible variety of food from all over the world. We each grabbed something different, and everything was delicious. It’s the kind of place where you could easily spend hours just trying different foods. One thing to note: it does get very crowded, especially during peak hours. But honestly, that just adds to the energy of the place. It’s buzzing with people from everywhere, and there’s always something happening around you. We also stopped by the vintage store next to the market, which had a great selection of retro clothes and unique pieces. It was a nice change of pace from the usual high street shopping. If you’re in London and looking for a fun, energetic place with great food and cool shops, Camden Market is a must-visit — just be ready for the crowds!
Kuman — Google review
We love this market, it's a must to visit when in London. The lock with the houseboats, the numerous food stalls of every nation and tunnels and shops selling all kinds of clothes and cultural merchandise for sale. As well the great music and store fronts.
Maxine B — Google review
A vibrant market, lots of shops that sell leather bags, wallets, blouses, hats, vintage clothing, paintings, spices, etc, lots of food choices, wraps, hamburgers, fries, soups, sandwiches, salads, stirfrys etc for lunch and dinner and treats like ice cream, fancy coffees, I enjoyed the environment with old brick buildings, nice planter displays, the many umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, vintage farm style decor and art to explore. Lots of people here so if you don’t like crowds this isn’t the place for you. If you want to use the washroom it will cost you money usually around one pound.

National Trust - Devil's Dyke

$$$$affordable
Park
National Trust - Devil's Dyke is a stunning V-shaped valley located about six miles from Brighton, England. It was a popular tourist spot in the early 20th century due to its mysterious formation and remains of historical structures like an Iron Age fort and Victorian railway line. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is part of the South Downs, offering picturesque walking trails with breathtaking views.
Great spot for a wee hike and ramble. Impressive views and very helpful staff at the National Trust cabin. Tried to come here before but it was mist bound. This time there was excellent weather and views.

We visited here in early January and it was beautiful in the snow. The views along the walk were lovely. We went for a walk and stopped to have fun in the snow throwing snowballs. The only downside was there was not a huge amount of parking especially with the pub being there too. However, it was extremely picturesque and definitely worth visiting if you like walking with a wonderful view.

Good view. Enjoyed walking around viewing nature If you're planning to walk down the downs I would recommend wearing climbing shoes. Because I saw a man fall on his back. 8/10 would go again. Beautiful view And a nice walk
Cornal W — Google review
An absolutely beautiful, iconic treasure of Brighton- a must visit for all ages. Walking through the Dyke itself isn't too strenuous and is a really peaceful, grounding experience. I love walking through with my son or on my own- it's great for kids who enjoy nature as insects, wildflowers and birds are abundant. If you aren't able or in the mood to traverse the steep hill, there are large flat walking areas as well which are just as much of a treasure to experience with stunning views. People often fly kites, walk their dogs and just enjoy the space no matter the weather. It's really a special part of Brighton and so easy to get to by hopping on a 77 bus. There is also a pub/hotel which has AMAZING chips which are a must, as well as toilets when needed.

A must-visit for nature and hiking lovers! Devil’s Dyke is one of the best hiking spots I’ve visited. The views are absolutely breathtaking — endless green hills, fresh air, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it perfect for a weekend escape. The hike takes around 2 to 3 hours depending on your pace, and every part of the trail feels rewarding. There are plenty of photo spots, and the panoramic view from the top is just stunning. It’s well-maintained by the National Trust, with good walking paths and clear signboards. Whether you’re hiking solo, with friends, or with family, this place is perfect to refresh your mind and enjoy nature. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the South Downs area! 🌿🥾

Devil’s Duke is a beautiful place. The views are amazing and everything is very green. There’s a clear path to walk on, and it goes through a small forest with great, tall trees. We even saw cows crossing the path, which was a fun surprise. It’s calm, easy to walk, and perfect for taking photos. Bring comfy shoes and enjoy the fresh air

Mass Transportation Systems
London Underground Limited, often simply called the London Underground, is a popular transportation system that offers an efficient way to navigate through the city. It is known for its ease of use and regular train schedules, making it convenient for both locals and visitors to travel around London. The system provides access to major attractions such as museums and iconic landmarks, catering to a diverse range of commuters from working-class individuals to executives.
The building, first listed as Grade II in 1970, was upgraded to Grade I in 2011. In 2013, it was announced that 55 Broadway would be converted into luxury apartments, once London Underground moved operations from the building in 2015 to their new headquarters in the Olympic Park, Stratford, London. In May 2014, it was announced that the architects, TateHindle, would lead the redevelopment and, in June 2015, planning permission and listed building consent was granted: however, this was not implemented and the planning permission expired in June 2018. In September 2019, a long-term lease of the property was sold by Transport for London for £120 million to Integrity International Group, founded by Tony Matharu. In May 2020, it was announced that Blue Orchid Hotels, a subsidiary of Integrity International, would convert the structure into a luxury hotel. (Wiki) Let's hope they don't change much of its beauty..

At first I was worried I wouldn’t be able to follow the system or get myself lost. Which I did, end up going the wrong way. But it’s actually so easy to follow, it’s good to make a few errors as then you will be conscious of ensuring you’re on the right tube. London Underground is amazing and it is really easy to get around and see places. I would walk around central London. Use the underground when going further afield. The trains are very regular, you will find they can get very busy, packed. Don’t feel you need to squeeze in, just wait for the next train as it will add to your experience and enjoy it better. As you would anywhere just be vigilant of your surroundings. I felt very safe, as a solo traveler I was very surprised.

As a visitor, you can’t ask for a better system to get about to major museums, etc. You get to ride with both the working class and executives alike. Iconic London ! Takes a little getting used to, if you need to travel in the City, it’s the way to go. As a visitor, we purchased a Visitor Oyster Card online, it’s a fantastic deal. Recommended.

This is a good way to get around London. The new trains and updated stations are good. It is easy to get a ticket and to get around. However, the ventilation is poor, horrible, hot, and sweaty. It makes for an unbearable and uncomfortable ride. However, some of the trains and train stations have proper ventilation and air but most do not. I only take one train with no transfers, which is all that I can bear, and walk just to be outside where I can breath easy. I caution you to only ride when necessary and recommend you walk outside if able.

These shops are all closed for good. I could rattle on about the good old days, (people actually pay to hear about it) and a book would be better; it would take a book, pdf, file, whatever to explain how much it has changed. Point? Many but the main one is: Thanks to Bid Rigging the same people keep getting rich fulfilling contracts that do nothing but cosmetic change. I'd rather see the old retailers (driven out by sky high rent, business taxes, business rates that the the big corporate retailers. Btw/ if you come to London be prepared to lug your suitcase up and down many flights of stairs. Of course the bureaucracy will point to "no step access" (only lawsuits by disabled brought that in) and there are more lifts (elevators), yes this is better than nothing - - lucky find one lift 20 years ago. The old, dirty, extremely noisy rolling stock in Central London is the same. Recently you could still find "MetroCamell" 1973. John Lennon probably on one. Sure, they Spent £16 Billion over budget and late) on a new Elizabeth Line. It's a nice reflection on what we have - - tourists are in central London for the sights, not off to Abby Wood (the other one) and to have them riding the clittering, clanking, clattering collection of caligenous junk - - (think Wizard of Oz to the Tin Man) is a disgrace.

Art gallery
The National Gallery, located in Trafalgar Square, London, is a renowned art museum housing an extensive collection of European paintings from the medieval period to the early 20th century. The gallery features masterpieces by celebrated artists such as Botticelli, Paul Cézanne, Monet, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Turner, Renoir and Van Gogh.
A beautiful and inspiring place. The collection is world-class — from Renaissance masters to Impressionists — and it’s amazing that entry is free. The galleries are spacious and well organized, with helpful information about each painting. I also appreciated the quiet spots where you can just sit and enjoy the art. It can get busy in popular rooms, but overall it’s an unforgettable visit for any art lover.

Visiting The National Gallery was truly a magical experience. From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the atmosphere and every room tells a different story through its paintings. The layout makes it easy to explore, and the colors, details, and emotions in each artwork are breathtaking. It’s not just a museum but it’s a journey through art and history that leaves you inspired and full of wonder.

The problem with the National Gallery is that there is too much to take in during just one visit. Had we lived closer to London, we would have come once a week and spend time in just one room, to really appreciate the paintings and read the description. But it is a privilege to be able to visit, and it is free. One must not forget to have a good look around the building, with its beautiful interior and decorative ceilings. What is not to like?

A very spacious series of galleries housing some of the best known images in the international art world. With a restaurant and toilets and plenty of friendly guides you can easily spend a day here, or just pop in and revisit your favourites. It may look daunting from the outside but the new entrance makes the whole place accessible for anyone. Children of any age will find something to look at and many school trips visit and no they don't disturb the 'grown ups'! A teashop, restaurant, bookshop and well stocked shop make this a day, or two to remember.

The National Gallery, a one place to see history through paintings. As usual this gallery is free for entery and quite big so plan ahead. You can book free online ticket or walkin. Tube connectivity is there. Plan to enjoy and take photos from outside squar also. There is a paid washroom available outside. You get chance to see a lot of historical paintings and know about the artist. Due to limited time I was not able to complete it. Wear comfortable shoes and carry water if possible.

🖼️ My Visit to The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London My visit to The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square was an inspiring journey through centuries of European art. Founded in 1824, the gallery houses one of the world’s greatest art collections, featuring masterpieces by Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Monet, Rembrandt, Raphael, and Turner. Each room offers a window into different art movements, from the Renaissance to Impressionism. The gallery’s architecture itself is stunning, and its location overlooking Trafalgar Square adds to the experience. Entry is free, making it an accessible cultural highlight for all visitors. Visitor Tips: Allow at least 2 hours to explore. Photography is allowed in most areas (without flash). Visit early morning or late afternoon for a quieter experience, and don’t miss the gift shop and café inside.

What a beautiful museum. Its big, but not so big that you cant see all in 2 hours. The painings are absolutely beautiful. There are many different consepts and famous paintings. The little info plates have fun information about the paintings, making them even more interesting. Getting around was a little confusing so a map is definitely recommended for your own comfort. I went on a tuesday and its was calm. We could qalk right through, eventho we had tickets reserved, it was not needed. I highly recommend this museum if you enjoy art.

The British Museum, located on Great Russel Street, is a grand neo-classical building that houses an extensive collection of over eight million artifacts and works of art from various cultures across the globe. The museum's highlights include Egyptian mummies, ancient Greek sculptures, the Rosetta Stone, and the Assyrian-Babylonian collection. It also features exhibitions on Africa, Ancient Greece and Rome, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
The museum is free and it's HUGE. Just prepare yourself. But it's amazing!! Mummy's we're my favourite. Worth your trip. It is little warm inside, so if you are visiting, leave your jacket in the cloak room. Bags are checked at the entrance and that's good :) plenty of places to eat if you get hungry 😋 over all - really amazing experience.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. We only had very limited time in London but this was somewhere we wanted to visit as we wanted to keep our costs low. The museum is free to enter but donations are welcomed. Firstly, the place is enormous. Various exhibitions are available with literally hundreds of things to look at, probably even thousands. It goes without saying that the place is very popular and often very busy so if you don't like crowds, do some research about your visit before you go. We spent a lot of time looking at the Egyptian exhibitions as my wife is very interested in that particular part of history but we did also wander around the Greek, Roman and middle Eastern parts as well. Both of us agreed that we would come back to visit but would definitely spend a whole day there as we felt rushed. There are places to grab a drink and a snack inside the museum as well, which is very welcome. It is worth noting that while backpacks are allowed, luggage is not. The shops nearby do offer a luggage storage solution.

Went on a Thursday in half term time, it was incredibly busy, loads of children! It was still a nice experience for my kids, they loved it. You need a couple of days to visit the whole museum, especially if you are looking to study anything in particular. Limited choices on thw food in the food court area and expect London prices but there is also a high end restaurant at the top. Own food and drinks are permitted only in the designated area. We will definitely come again to see and study other areas.

A Must-see Museum! You can literally feel the history of the world here. It’s free to visit; however, when you think about all the pieces taken away from their motherlands, it does feel a bit bittersweet. :) Make sure to book your tickets in advance — it gets busy! The ambiance will truly astonish you the moment you step inside.

A visit to The British Museum is a rewarding but demanding experience. To make the most of your trip, book your free ticket online in advance. While entry is free, I highly recommend the paid app for its excellent guided tours, which greatly enhance seeing incredible exhibits like the Egyptian mummies, Roman antiquities, and Persian histories. Be prepared for security and bag checks, and note that there's a fee for coat and bag storage. With more wonders than you can see in a single day, the museum thoughtfully provides portable stools—a welcome relief for tired legs. Several cafes and a restaurant are also on-site to help you refuel.
Arc M — Google review
Offers an outstanding and educational experience, with impressive exhibitions and an incredible collection from around the world. The curation, accessibility, and historical depth make every visit memorable and highly recommendable.However, amidst all this cultural wealth, it is important to critically reflect on the origins of many artifacts. A significant part of the collection consists of objects that were taken from their countries of origin under problematic historical circumstances. The museum could do more to address this legacy openly and transparently, initiate dialogues about restitution, and provide more context about the provenance of these treasures.Overall, the visit is rewardin yet the experience would be even richer if the museum visibly acknowledged its responsibility regarding looted art and made an active contribution to justice and transparency.
Alexander T — Google review
*5/5 stars* "I recently visited the British Museum and was blown away by the vast collection of artifacts from around the world. The museum's permanent exhibitions, such as the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles, and the mummies in the Ancient Egypt gallery, were fascinating. The temporary exhibitions were also thought-provoking and well-curated. The museum's layout and signage were easy to navigate, and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The museum's location in the heart of London made it an ideal stop for anyone interested in history, culture, and art. *Tips:* - Plan your visit in advance to make the most of your time. - Take breaks to rest and recharge – the museum is massive! - Consider visiting during off-peak hours to avoid crowds. - Don't miss the museum's excellent audio guides and guided tours. *Overall, I highly recommend the British Museum to anyone interested in history, culture, and art. It's a must-visit destination in London!*"

Big Ben, also known as the Elizabeth Tower, is a 16-storey Gothic clocktower located at the Eastern end of the Houses of Parliament in London. It is a global icon of neo-Gothic design and has been a symbol of British governance since its controversial renovation in 1835. Designed by Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin, Big Ben's completion in 1860 marked an iconic addition to the London skyline.

Getting tickets, however, is the real challenge — plan ahead and try to book about six months in advance, checking the website regularly. No photos are allowed inside, which is a bit of a shame, but completely understandable. The climb is 334 steps up a narrow spiral staircase with just a simple metal railing, so this is not an experience for those with mobility issues or severe fear of heights. The first stretch is about 110 steps, with the rest broken into slightly shorter climbs and two rest stops along the way. Windows are few and far between, so you won’t have many chances to look outside during the climb. At the top, you’ll visit the belfry and see the Great Bell — Big Ben itself — up close. You’ll be there as the clock strikes the hour, with protective ear coverings provided to save your hearing from the thunderous chimes. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the clock mechanism and stand behind the famous clock faces before beginning the descent, which is once again split into sections with rest stops. Lockers are provided for your belongings, as nothing may be carried with you, and open-toed shoes are not allowed. The guides are fantastic — full of history, fun facts, and fascinating details about the tower and its clock. In the end, this is an unforgettable tour: fun, educational, a little bit challenging, and absolutely worth every step.

Absolutely love London. And Big Ben is a must see / visit. It has been beautifully restored and looks grand as it should. Right next to the houses of Parliament and across from Westminster Abbey just down the road from Buckingham Palace. And then there is number 10. Definitely make time to go to this iconic land Mark.

I’m not the biggest fan of London, but Big Ben was absolutely beautiful. The architecture is stunning, and the city around it feels so classic and elegant. It was really cool getting off the Westminster stop on the Tube and walking straight up to see Big Ben towering above it’s such an iconic sight. Even if London isn’t your favorite city, this landmark will definitely impress you.

Big Ben is absolutely stunning and a must-see landmark! The architecture is incredible, and it really lives up to the hype. The only downside was how crowded it gets, especially during peak hours, which makes it a bit hard to enjoy peacefully. Still, definitely worth the visit and a great spot for photos.

Big Ben is one of London’s most iconic landmarks — a true symbol of the city. Seeing it in person feels almost surreal, especially when you hear the clock chime across Westminster. The architecture is magnificent, with incredible detail and timeless charm. It’s especially beautiful at sunset or when lit up at night, reflecting perfectly over the River Thames. The surrounding area — including the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey — makes it a must-visit spot for first-time visitors to London. Even though you can’t go inside the tower, just standing nearby and admiring its grandeur is worth the visit. A classic London experience!
Eugene H — Google review
Visited Big Ben while in London. Did you know its official name is the Elizabeth Tower, renamed in 2012 in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee — but everyone still calls it Big Ben. The site was impressive, with plenty of onlookers taking in the views. We spent about 30 minutes exploring and enjoying the surroundings. Fun fact: the minute hand is roughly the same length as a single-decker bus! Overall, it’s worth a quick stop and was one of the highlights of our trip. Saluti

Big Ben is an incredible and historic landmark, truly one of the most famous symbols of London. The architecture is beautiful, and seeing it up close is a memorable experience. It’s a place full of history and charm, and it represents the classic elegance of the city. However, it’s a bit disappointing to see that some areas around it could be better maintained and cared for. Such an iconic site deserves more attention and preservation to keep its beauty shining for future generations. Despite that, Big Ben remains a must-see attraction and one of the most remarkable places to visit in London.

Big Ben is one of the most captivating landmarks in London — an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the city. If you’re hoping to take that iconic photo in front of the red telephone booth with Big Ben perfectly in the background, be prepared for quite a long line. My advice is to go early in the day to avoid the crowds. Another great option is to take your photo from the bridge, where you can capture Big Ben’s magnificent view behind you — it’s just as impressive and often less crowded. No matter where you stand, the sight of Big Ben towering over the Thames is truly breathtaking. It’s one of those places that perfectly embodies the spirit and beauty of London, and it’s definitely something you have to see for yourself.

As Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, it provides a stunning 360-degree view of the city and is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the UK. Situated along the River Thames, it has become an iconic part of the London skyline and offers a thrilling way to take in breathtaking views, especially during sunset.
If you're in London and looking for a fun, iconic experience, the London Eye is totally worth checking out. It’s one of those things that might seem super touristy, but once you're up there, the views are absolutely stunning. You get a full 360° look at the city — Big Ben, the Thames, Tower Bridge, and even way out to the Shard. On a clear day, it’s unreal. The ride itself is smooth and surprisingly relaxing. Each pod is spacious and air-conditioned, so even if it’s crowded, it doesn’t feel cramped. It takes about 30 minutes to go all the way around, which gives you plenty of time to soak it all in and snap a bunch of photos. Booking online ahead of time is a good idea — saves you from standing in long lines. And if you’re feeling fancy, the fast-track tickets are a nice upgrade. There’s also a cool 4D experience included with some tickets that’s fun, especially for kids. Overall, it’s a great way to kick off your London trip or wrap it up with a bang. Whether you’re solo, with friends, or family, the London Eye is a must-do. Just bring your camera and maybe a snack for the wait

The London Eye is one of those iconic experiences that truly lives up to its reputation. From the moment you step into the capsule, you can feel the excitement building — and as it slowly rises above the Thames, the city unfolds beneath you in a breathtaking panorama. The views are spectacular, especially on a clear day. You can see all of London’s major landmarks — Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and even as far as The Shard and Tower Bridge. Watching the city from above gives you a whole new appreciation for its beauty and scale. The ride itself is smooth and quiet, taking about 30 minutes, which gives you plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos. The capsules are clean, comfortable, and spacious, with just the right number of people inside to move around freely. The staff are friendly and organized, keeping everything running efficiently even when it’s busy. Tickets are easy to book online, and the whole experience feels well-managed from start to finish. Whether it’s your first time in London or your tenth, the London Eye is something you should do at least once — a stunning and memorable way to see the city from a new perspective.

We visited the London Eye today and were really impressed. The ride was longer than expected, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy the view and take photos. The panoramic view over London is simply stunning and offers a completely different perspective of the city. It’s definitely worth buying tickets in advance, as this saves a lot of waiting time and makes the whole experience much more relaxed. The organization on site was smooth and easy to follow. Overall, a wonderful experience that is absolutely worth it – both for first-time visitors and for those who already know London but want to see it from above.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience! The London Eye is absolutely incredible — a must-see attraction when visiting London! The views are breathtaking, especially at sunset when the city lights start to sparkle. You can see iconic landmarks like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and the River Thames stretching out below you. The ride itself is smooth and relaxing, and the capsules are spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience felt well-organized from start to finish. Whether it’s your first time in London or you’ve lived here for years, the London Eye gives you a whole new perspective on the city. I’d definitely go again!
Blake G — Google review
The London Eye is one of those attractions that truly lives up to its reputation and is a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. The moment you step onto the giant wheel, you’re treated to spectacular panoramic views of London, stretching out as far as the eye can see. From the top, the historic landmarks like the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and even Windsor Castle on a clear day come into perfect view. Watching the River Thames wind its way through the heart of London adds even more magic to the experience. One thing families and visitors should prepare for, however, are the long lines. The London Eye is extremely popular, and during weekends or holidays, the wait can feel quite lengthy. For those short on time or traveling with children, the Express Entry tickets are definitely worth considering. They cost a bit more but save you from the longer queues, letting you enjoy the ride without the wait. The capsule itself is spacious and moves slowly, making it comfortable for families, children, and even those slightly nervous about heights. The pace allows you to really take in the scenic 360° views and capture plenty of photos without feeling rushed. Overall, the London Eye is an experience that beautifully combines fun, relaxation, and sightseeing. Despite the queues, it’s absolutely worth the visit for the incredible views of London’s skyline and its historic buildings. It’s one of those attractions that reminds you why London is such a timeless city.

The London Eye is an interesting experience that I was glad that I went on, but I am not sure if I would recommend. It offers great views of the city but I understand that The Shard and Sky Garden also can do this. Heck, the coffee shop at Tate Modern also has great views and it is free to go up. We had booked a time and were waiting for our slot, when we arrived 15 minutes early to join an extremely long queue. I was very surprised how quickly the line went and we actually boarded the ride at our allocated time. I suspect if we arrived early (within reason), we could have got on sooner rather than waiting around. Getting on and off was easy, even though the ride didn't stop. The entire trip lasted about 30 minutes and was very relaxing. Obviously the views were great, but I `think that I would have spent less time if I had gone up the Shard or Sky Garden, as the ride seemed to trudge along. The are definitely opportunities to get discounted tickets: book online or in the visitor centre or with the London Pass. Since the line went quick, I wouldn't pay extra for a fast path.

🎡 My Visit to the London Eye, London Visiting the London Eye was one of the highlights of my trip to London. Opened in 2000, this giant observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames offers panoramic views of the city’s skyline, including Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the River Thames. The ride itself was smooth and peaceful, taking about 30 minutes for a full rotation. From inside the glass capsule, I could see landmarks stretching for miles, making it a perfect opportunity for photos and sightseeing from above. The staff were friendly, and the capsules were spacious and comfortable. Visitor Tips: Book tickets online in advance to skip the queues and try to ride during sunset for breathtaking views. Arrive early for less crowded capsules and better photo opportunities. Audio guides are available to learn interesting facts about London’s landmarks as you ride. How to Reach: The London Eye is located at Riverside Building, County Hall, Westminster Bridge Road, London SE1 7PB, just a short walk from Waterloo Station and well-served by buses and the Underground (Jubilee, Bakerloo, Northern lines). Overall, the London Eye is a must-visit attraction — a relaxing, scenic, and iconic way to experience the best views of London from above.
Shanz S — Google review
The London Eye is a memorable, visually rewarding attraction. If your expectations are aligned (i.e. for views, photo ops, a “London from above” feel), it usually delivers. It is especially powerful for first-time visitors, families, or those hoping to see London’s skyline in a gentle, suspended ride. That said, it’s not flawless: cost, crowds, waiting times, and weather dependency dilute the experience somewhat. If you already have several vantage points (e.g. The Shard) planned, you might skip it. But for many, it’s worth doing at least once — especially in good conditions and with smart timing.

I saw they had a Wednesday race on, popped in with my two kids to see what they made of it, we stayed for 2 hours had a couple of small bets and one or two winners, they enjoyed it something very different to what we would normally do. My cider tasted a bit funky though. Door and bar staff pleasant betting clerk less so but still fun

Came on Sunday afternoon for a big family celebration. A Diamond Wedding Anniversary! The staff went out of their to make everyone welcome and the celebrating couple were so pleased and surprised with how much care and attention the staff gave them! Special thanks to Gary, Ruby, Aesop and Lisa. If you are ever thinking of a venue for a celebration, try something different and come here! Fantastic food, drink and atmosphere. You'll be well looked after and won't regret it! Thank you all at Coral Stadium Hove!

We attended our sons football presentation here last night (31/05/25), I was so shocked at the amount of rude and unfriendly staff. The dogs used to be a good fun family-friendly night out. The lady on the tote desk downstairs (the one that made her own aggressive sign and stuck it up) was extremely rude and should have some training on customer service on how to speak to people. The lady at the bottom of the stairs as you enter, shouted at kids for running down the stairs, but they weren't running they were just a bit excited (these weren't our group of boys) threatening to tell their parents they were coming down the stairs and would throw them out. They weren't doing anything wrong, just someone on a power trip. The security and some of the management were on the kids constantly for running around outside - this was an hour before the dogs had even started, and no one was around. Some of the boys were upstairs (with adults) on a table and were asked to move downstairs because they were cheering on the dogs, and apparently, they were noisy. Absolutely comical. Isn't that the reason you go to the dogs! It is definitely not a family-friendly place, and i 100% wouldn't recommend taking kids. It felt like they wanted the football clubs' money but didn't actually want the kids there, but unfortunately, this was an event that was about the kids and celebrating them. The one star I have given is for the lady that was on the till in the cafe, I think she was the only one who smiled and treated kids like they should be treated.

Unfortunately, our fellow students were not allowed to enter, which was deeply disappointing for them. We were a larger group of language school students, excited to take part in something cultural and for us new in England. We arrived in two groups: first our friends, who are under 18, and a little later the two of us adults. Although we explained that we all belong to the same school, this was not accepted, and even our offer to present student IDs was disregarded. As a result, the younger students were turned away, despite being accompanied by adults. It was truly very sad to see their disappointment, especially as they had been so eager to experience and learn more about English culture.

Amazing! This was one of my favorite tours while in london. We bought our tickets which cost about $48. Place was packed. There is a cafe and a small gift shop inside, bathrooms of course. I would plan on spending at least 2 hours here if not 3. And then of course there's the crown jewels that speak for themselves. So much history here and so much to see I loved everything about this!

Great day out. Went on a weekend and not too busy outside of peak season. Crown Jewels clearly the highlight, and didn’t disappoint - displays nicely spaced out, not too much content to overload younger ones and up to date, but there’s also so much more to see. Poppy display was superb, exotic animals, Yeoman tour and White Tower also worth the time, with the latter having interactive area for children. Nice day out and good to take a picnic (though not lots of spaces to sit and eat).

You could spend a day exploring or breeze in and out in two on a quiet day. Crown Jewels were gorgeous. Walking throughbthe verybdark vaults added to the intrigue. No photos permitted. The tower was very fun if you like armour and military weapons. Lots of steps up and a turret spiral staircase to exit. I would have prefered to see recreations of how the home was setup. Lunch at the cafe was meh, but after all you are a captive audiance!

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Tower Bridge provides visitors with a unique experience, offering panoramic views from its high-level walkways and access to the original lifting machinery. It stands out as the only place on the list that offers direct views over the Thames River. The moderately priced tickets provide a self-guided tour with fascinating city views, historical insights into the bridge's construction and London itself, interactive exhibitions, and demonstrations of how the bridge works. Additionally, it features a glass bridge section that creates an unusual sensation of walking on air.
Tower Bridge is absolutely stunning! One of the best spots to visit in London — the views of the River Thames are amazing. The exhibition is interesting and gives a good idea of how the bridge works. Everything was clean and well-managed. Definitely a must-visit when you’re in London!
Fajar T — Google review
Thoroughly enjoyed talking the self guided tour. The glass floor gives a unique view of the Thames, but can be slightly unnerving. The engine room has the two steam engines, used to power the bascules, on display. Over all, it's very good venue for money.

One of the most important attractions in this wonderful city! Especially, if you visit it at night is way more beautiful! This bridge brings its own unique touch of beauty in London! You have to visit it with no hesitation! 🌉✨
Athanasios S — Google review
Tower Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in London and visiting it was a fantastic experience. The views from the bridge are stunning, both of the Thames and the city. Taking the Tower Bridge Exhibition tour made the visit even better, as it gave detailed insights into how the bridge was built and the fascinating mechanism behind its operation. Walking across the glass floor was a unique highlight too, giving a completely different perspective of the bridge and the river below. The site is very well maintained and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing to keep in mind is that you may need to wait in a queue for entry, and on a sunny day this can feel a bit frustrating. Still, it’s not just a landmark to admire from outside, but also an educational and memorable experience to explore from within. Definitely worth visiting.
Stv — Google review
Walking near Tower Bridge is honestly one of the nicest things to do in London, especially if you’re trying to escape the busy streets without leaving the city. The view is unreal – you’ve got the bridge itself, which looks straight out of a postcard, the river Thames calmly flowing, and plenty of spots to just sit and chill. There’s something peaceful about hearing the water and watching the boats go by, even when there are tourists around. At sunset, the whole area lights up in warm colours and it feels kinda magical. It’s also surprisingly clean and safe, even in the evening. Loads of nice little cafes and street food stalls around if you fancy a bite, and the walk towards the south bank or down to St Katharine Docks is worth it too. You get a mix of old-school charm and modern city vibes. Would definitely recommend it for a date, a solo unwind walk, or just to take some beautiful photos. 10/10 – calming, scenic, and very London.
Monzia K — Google review
The Tower Bridge is a great stop if you're in the nearby area, and provides about 30min to 1 hour diversion. Combined with the free audio tour, great views complete with partial glass floor in one section, historic awe of the building process, and gift shop at the end - I would highly recommend if you're in the area. There are lifts for the tower, but I suggest/recommend you take the stairs getting some insight, facts and touch of history on the way up and down. There are benches to rest, toilets but no Air Con for most of it, however fans throughout provide plenty of relief - 84 degrees and it never felt sweltering inside. Learn how the bridge was designed, constructed and changes over the years - in particular the engine room videos and presentation on divers were really great. And whenever you're done walk along the Thames River path near the wharf and grab a bite to eat.

Tower Bridge is indeed an iconic and highly recommended destination for anyone visiting London. You've captured its essence perfectly! Here's a summary of why it's a must-visit, echoing your points: * Iconic Landmark: It's instantly recognizable and a symbol of London. * Ideal for Shorter Visits: As you said, it's not a full-day commitment but perfect for a few hours. * Photographer's Dream: Offers incredible opportunities for stunning photographs, especially of the bridge itself, the River Thames, and the surrounding cityscapes. * Engaging Experience: Walking across the bridge allows you to appreciate its architecture up close, enjoy the (often cold!) wind, and take in the mesmerizing views of the River Thames. * Great for All: Whether with friends or family, it offers a memorable experience. For those looking to delve deeper, the Tower Bridge Exhibition (inside the bridge itself) offers a chance to learn about its history, see the Victorian engine rooms, and experience the glass walkways for unique views. Even without entering the exhibition, a walk across and around the bridge is a highly rewarding experience.

With a capacity of over 30,000, it offers stunning views of the city and its surroundings due to its prime location near the sea in Brighton. On match days, visitors can experience electrifying action with passionate fans filling the stadium.
I went here today with my father to see the Brighton vs Tottenham Hotspur football match. We drove to the Mill Road Park & Ride and caught a bus to the stadium. We felt the park & ride worked incredibly well. We had tickets for The Heineken Lounge and were extremely impressed. We were welcomed and given our programmes and a drink voucher. The lounge is lovely and it was a great place to relax, have a sit down and enjoy our meal before the game. We both ordered the Albion Cheeseburger and were pleased with the generous portion. When the teams were warming up we made our way to our seats which were fantastic, we were front row on the balcony so we had a great view of the entire pitch for the whole game. The stadium is brilliant and we had a great day out, I am so glad we went!

I visited here to see the England's Red Roses rugby team at the women's rugby world cup. The outside of the stadium is reminiscent of the Orange Velodrome in Marseille.

The seats are padded and comfortable. It was an enjoyable trip.

Visit the Stadium on a Sunday afternoon not for football but for a CT scan. There is a controlled barrier on entry _ just tell the barrier operator your here for CT scan. Try to get to lower parking to avoid talking stairs. Plenty of spaces available and a lot of signage. I had problem on exit as on approaching barriers there is no keep left signage. The exit barrier is automatic. So get close to make it work. Overall very clean and tidy. But no signs on entry to direct you to the CT reception that I could see. Having been there once before I had no problem.

The only downside is that there aren’t enough people on the desks on busy race days (Friday and Saturday nights) so the queues to place or settle bets could take a long time. You don’t have to bet though and just enjoy the festivities!

Visited with my son's. We hadn't been for years. Parked easily in there free car park. There is free entry on a Wednesday, but they offered a pack online for £10 each (Only for 18+) which includes a racecard, drink & quick bites meal (Cheeseburger / Hotdog & Fries) Plus re-entry with a racecard on a Friday/Saturday in the next 3months. It's a really good deal, (burger on it's own was £4). It's a shame they don't offer a deal for under 18's without the racecard though. The 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed it, despite it being very quiet and very wet later on. We had a few small bets, won a few but lost more🤣 Very enjoyable night. We will look forward to coming again. For those that live outside of the M25 as we are, remember that Romford is in the ULEZ.

Did afternoon meal with a group, had a great time with great staff who looked after our group. Only had 1 problem with four people who sat on one of our tables and refused to move. Not the venue or staffs fault, just a group of selfish people who hopefully didn't get any winners.

Had a work night out here at the Paddock restaurant. Was a brilliant night. The staff were attentive the food was really good. Could have 3 courses. Our tables were just above the finish line too. Was helpful with the guy coming round to take our bets. First time going to the dog races and would certainly do it again. Parking is limited but we knew that going.

Middle Farm

Farm shop
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the picturesque countryside just a short drive from Brighton, Middle Farm is a charming family-friendly destination. This 625-acre working farm offers an exciting farm shop, featuring the oldest butchers shop in the U.K., a delightful delicatessen, and a farmhouse bakery. Visitors can browse through the largest array of Sussex produce available and indulge in coffee, cake, light lunches or traditional afternoon cream tea at the tearoom.
We had the best time at Middle farm, great children's play area and small selection of farm yard animals. We would take a picnic next time as there is a lovely space to get out ypur picnic bits and space for the kids to run around (freedom), there are a few benches but not many. Hay barn was the biggest hit for my 6 Yr old and I thought it was pretty epic too. We will definitely visit again. The cafe was nice and the wholefood shop and plant area was a real treat.

Had a great time with my Grandaughter... Slightly confusing and a animals were quite sparse, although lots of chickens!! However, we enjoyed the afternoon out with cake. The staff were lovely!!
Julia B — Google review
We had an amazing visit – a perfect day out for both kids and adults. Each group receives animal feed with their entry, which makes the experience even more interactive. There’s plenty of parking, and the itinerary is well thought out, from petting guinea pigs to feeding the sheep. The courtyard is especially charming, with a lovely cider shop and café. While the café is a little on the pricier side, the quality makes it worthwhile. I’ll definitely be going back!

Went camping at Roundhill by Woodfire. Visited Middle Farm daily for a) incredible beer & cider collection, b) brilliant petting zoo & playground, c) fabulous Farm shop, and d) cake from the tea room! It was so popular Bank Holiday Monday was a struggle for food orders, but otherwise faultless. Super friendly and helpful staff

The last time I went to this farm was 8 years ago when I was visiting the UK, so it was a must stop on this trip. So glad that it was just as good an experience as last time, if not better! There was a big bouncy castle assault course that the kids LOVED, and they enjoyed the different "meet the animals" events throughout the day. The animals are all so gentle and sweet, and very obviously well taken care of. They even got to see a donkey getting his hooves trimmed! It was a perfect experience. I'm also glad we went early at opening time to have breakfast. The cream tea did not disappoint!

Charleston

Museum

Charleston, the former home of the Bloomsbury group, is a captivating destination for art enthusiasts and history buffs. The house boasts a beautiful old-fashioned cottage garden and a walled garden that exudes the essence of a painter's paradise. Visitors can immerse themselves in the rich history of the Bloomsbury Group through guided tours led by knowledgeable volunteers.
Brilliant experience. The house is beautiful and absolutely fascinating. We visited on a cold January day and spent a good hour and a half there, exploring each room of the house and learning about the lives of the Bloomsbury Group. There are volunteers in each room who are very friendly and happy to answer any questions - they had a wealth of knowledge and really brought the house to life. Highly recommended.
Gabi B — Google review
No words for how cool the house and gardens are. If you are interested in interiors, gardens, design, art, and/or the Bloomsbury Group, it is so worth a pilgrimage. Paired gorgeously with a visit to Monks House.
Sarah S — Google review
What a captivating history awaits you at this wonderful living work of art! I adored walking around this house, learning from the docents who are placed in each room, ready to tell you about any detail that piques your interest. There is a brilliant app that offers insights into each room. Understandably you’re not allowed to play the audio tour aloud, and I didn’t have headphones, so I focused on being present in the space and interacting with the knowledgeable volunteers. Once I made it to the large cafe, I was able to find a quiet corner and listen to the tour while my memory of each room was still fresh. I was transported to the era of the home being alive with artists and writers. It was a safe haven for we would now call queer and poly relationships, “unconventional” marriages, where everyone got to be free to focus on their pleasure and their art. Take the time to walk around the grounds, which is described as “a painter’s garden…exuberant and not intended to be tasteful or restrained.” There is even a little scavenger hunt to do of the various statues you can find hiding among the shrubbery. I hope to come back here to soak up the atmosphere again. For maximum enjoyment, bring your headphones and use your imagination!

Michelham Priory is a magnificent Tudor-style mansion built in the 13th century, complete with a moat, watermill and beautiful gardens. The museum offers visitors an insight into the varied uses of the house throughout its rich history. The grounds are picturesque and offer activities such as archery on the lawn. A small play area within the garden provides great hide-and-seek opportunities.
We went here for the living history festival and to see the house. The festival was really great , all the participants were very friendly and interesting to talk to. Unfortunately my phone ran out of battery half way round so I didn't get to photograph everyone. I'll definitely be back for the next one, with a fully charged phone :-)

It's an ideal destination for a family day out, providing both entertainment and educational experiences. Whether rain or shine, the park offers indoor and outdoor fun for everyone to enjoy.
I absolutely love Knockhatch. I visit family in Eastbourne every summer and every year we go to Knockhatch. It's great value for money with it including the animals, indoor and outdoor play areas, rides and the water play! It isn't too pricey either for food and is always clean and well managed. On our last visit, my baby got stung by a wasp, where her hand proceeded to swell. The staff were absolutely amazing with helping her, they attended to her straight away and we're really pleasant and polite. Would highly recommend Knockhatch to any age!

A beautiful place with a pleasant environment, perfect for spending time with family. There are plenty of enjoyable activities for kids.

Hastings Pier, originally built in 1872, underwent a major renovation and reopened in May 2016.

Unlike traditional piers with arcade games and gimmicky attractions, Hastings Pier offers a classy experience with its minimalist design and wooden kiosks.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Perfect Spot for Night Fishing — Hastings, UK Spent an amazing night fishing on the beach in Hastings — tent set up, rods in the water, and a sky full of stars. Super peaceful atmosphere, calm sea, and minimal light pollution. It’s a great spot to disconnect from the noise and just enjoy the moment. ✅ Pros: – Great for night fishing and camping – Beautiful view of the coast and city lights in the distance – Quiet and spacious area – Relaxing sea sounds all night ⚠️ Heads-up: it’s a rocky beach, so bring a mat or something soft for your tent. If you’re looking for a calm night by the sea — highly recommended!

The view from the pier is lovely. Unfortunately, not much was open, and it was the hottest day of the year as of June 2025. Many of the children's rides have been removed, but you still need to buy tokens for the two that remain. Great location with not a lot going on.

Hastings Pier is known for its rich heritage that dates back to 1872. We visited Hastings with the aim to spend fair amount of time in the pier and enjoy the serene flow of water hitting the coastline. The water is exquisitely clean and blue with dedicated swimming areas that have lifeguards from 10am to 6pm. There are lots of attractions surrounding the Hastings Pier.
Khandker Q — Google review
A Thursday morning in August was not a good time to visit this historic Pier. It was mostly abandoned and the best part is the view to the Hastings beaches on either side. We had been here in the 1980s when the Pier was much livelier and more impressive. Hastings Pier was built in 1872. It suffered major storm damage in 1990, and was closed to the public for a time before closing completely in 2008. 95% of the pier was destroyed by a fire in 2010. After a major rebuilding project, the pier reopened in April 2016 but has not regained its former glory.

Clare — Google review
I really enjoyed my visit to Hastings Pier. It’s a calm and peaceful spot with little to no noise, which makes it perfect if you're looking for a quiet place to relax or reflect. Unlike the more commercial and busier Eastbourne Pier, Hastings Pier feels more open and laid-back. It’s not as wide or crowded, but that actually worked in my favour because I wanted a quieter experience. There are places on and near the pier to grab something to eat, and the nearby beach is just a few steps away. It wasn’t overcrowded when I visited, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. The views out to sea are beautiful and the breeze is refreshing. It’s a great place to sit and just enjoy the scenery. One thing to note is that the pier is right next to a fairly busy road, so getting there can be a bit hectic. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially during peak times, so visitors should plan ahead or consider using public transport if possible. Overall, I had a lovely time and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a slower, quieter seaside experience.

Probably the most beautiful park in East Sussex, England, Alexandra Park boasts of 44 hectares of land in the heart of Hastings. It is a very popular attraction for family picnics, exercises, outdoor activities, dog walks to name a few. I always go here to unwind and enjoy nature especially when the birds starts to roost in their nests and listen to their beautiful songs as well as I enjoy the many types of trees, plants, shrubs and its amazing nature landscapes. Amenities are good with free public toilets, outdoor activities like their Multi-use Games Area and restaurants along the stretch of the park which is maintained all throughout the year. There are bicycle lanes, tennis courts, a football/basketball pitch, children’s playground, ponds, and a fishing spot too. Dog walkers are advised to put lead on certain areas of the park. Car parking around the park is mostly free and accessible but can also be challenging especially when the weather is sunny and bright as people flock to the park to enjoy it. Highly recommended.

Historical landmark
Smugglers Adventure in Hastings is a unique visitor attraction that offers a thrilling experience for the whole family. The site features a series of underground tunnels and caverns, known as St Clements Caves, which were utilized by smugglers and buccaneers during the 17th century. Visitors can explore the labyrinth of ancient caves while listening to live actors recounting bloody tales of smuggling and piracy.
I had been to this place before, a few times once as a child, then in my early twenties, and now with my own child - I always wanted to be able to take my own child there 😃 The staff are super informative, very helpful and very friendly! The site is just so much fun, not just for kids but for adults too! Very educational experience, fun way to learn! Honestly, you just HAVE to come here! The day after visiting, my daughter asked to go back 😆 Well worth spending every penny, you definitely want to have money for the gift shop after too! Bit of a walk down but you'll be doing loads of walking within the caves anyway you won't even notice that you've done so many steps 😁 Beautifully lit with coloured lights to help you see but not too bright that it dazzles you! When we went they did do a kids activity thing, not sure if that's just because of the summer holidays

If you don't mind a trek up the hill (assuming the lift isn't running) and you're not claustrophobic, this is definitely a good way to pass the time. The caves are really interesting and atmospheric in themselves, and there's also a nice mix of dioramas, displays of items, and some interactive bits. Some of the interactive bits were off, maybe waiting for some off-season maintenance. The gift shop had a section of London souvenirs which I guess is the way of things now, but some local art and crafts would be a nice addition.

Also known as St Clements Caves. Firstly entrance prices not displayed. Overcharged on entrance - young girl despite having visited Spec savers or other opticians are available, just said standard and 2 children. I’m over 70, should I feel pleased that she assumed I was under 64 or cross that she didn’t offer me over 64 price reduction. Note to self better advance preparation required. Customer Service rating 0. Now the caves as an attraction in their current state (October 2025) I’d rate no higher than 2 - so many information points broken and not working. Perhaps giving them the benefit of the doubt visiting in October half term maybe they’re close to shutting for the winter ? Maybe repairs will be carried out over the winter ?? Lighting levels random with frequent numbers of lights not working. We were told ‘Feel free to use your phone’s torch’ was very pleased to have had it, very dark with uneven floors in places. There is a lot of smuggler information presented throughout in various tablos. All in all needs some serious love and attention.

Great location! Well organised inside the cave too, have a few interesting and interactive things for children. We went as a school trip and children really had fun. It is located at picturesque landscape. We drove close to the caves and literally ran down the hill to the caves and then up the hill to the coach. It was about 5 minutes stroll from the road to the caves.

Scenic Railroads
The East Hill Cliff Railway in Hastings is a historic funicular railway that dates back to the early 20th century. It is renowned as the steepest funicular railway in the UK and offers visitors access to Hastings Country Park, providing stunning views of Hastings Old Town, Stade, and Rock-a-Nore. The park itself is a vast area filled with wildlife and historical landmarks, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts.
The ride is short but interesting. Children under 5 are free. It is windy up the hill, get a jacket with you. We found a quiet spot to have a picnic. Fun to travel with kids.

I recently visited the East Hill Cliff Railway in Hastings, and it was such a great experience! The funicular ride is smooth and quick, and it’s amazing to think it’s been running since 1902. The views from the railway are absolutely stunning you get a fantastic panorama of Hastings Old Town, the beach, and the sea.At the top, there’s easy access to lovely walking trails in Hastings Country Park, which made the trip even better. The staff were really friendly and helpful, which made the visit feel welcoming. The ticket price was very reasonable for such a unique ride. Overall, it was a peaceful and scenic way to explore the area, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Hastings. Whether you want a quick trip up the hill or a starting point for some beautiful countryside walks, the East Hill Cliff Railway is worth checking out!

If we don't use it we will lose it in time. So what it's not that expensive in reality for a fast dash up the cliffs. Lots of walks around the nature park with some great views. Use it or lose it. Consider that.

Well worth £4 for return trip - but only for the views and experience but also knowing that you’re contributing to keeping this historic heritage funicular going. Views of Hastings are spectacular and there are great walks to be had in the nature reserve at the top

£5.5 for return pp, if you’re a family they provide better rate. Staff are super friendly and giving positive vibe which I loved so much! The view from the hill was spectacular, it will be nice to have a picnic as well.

Lovely way to get up the hill for a view across Hastings. To get right to the top past the beacon there are a few steps to be done. Definitely worth having a ride, if only to keep this Victorian antique functioning.

This is a wonderful and genuinely old attraction which we would highly recommend. We enjoyed concessionary fares which made this experience great value for money. A ride upon this funicular railway is truly like stepping back in time. Indeed, I last rode this as a child and I'm now 68! It was great to see the "cars" sensitively maintained. Moreover, the staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. A "must do" whilst in Hastings!

Hastings Fishermen's Museum

The Hastings Fishermen's Museum is a charming and intimate space showcasing the local fishing industry through photos, memorabilia, and personal stories of legendary fishermen. Housed in a former mission chapel dating back to 1854, the museum provides insight into the overwhelming importance of fishing culture in Hastings. Visitors can explore framed portraits, historical artifacts, and even climb aboard an old fishing lugger.
It's only a small little place but it was amazing to see the boat indoors and also to be able to go on deck. There is so much information about the shit from the day it was built to the day it was donated to the fisherman's museum. This is a great place to visit if your ever in Hastings.

A must-visit (if you’re into understanding a towns culture, heritage and history!). The care and attention that has gone into curating stories of Hastings over hundreds of years, photos, models, life size exhibitions and more besides. A wonderful tribute to the town. Wish we’d had a bit longer - spent about 45 minutes here, could be 60-90 depending on how much you want to take in. Be sure to leave a donation and don’t miss some of the outside info boards too.

Interesting museum , some interaction for kids tying knots. Free to enter.

Jam packed with quaint but low quality dioramas, photographs, and displays, with a fishing boat taking up most of the museum that had an accessible deck. Not much to see, was in and out in 5 minutes. No complaints though with free entry, some nice fridge magnets and the staff were lovely.

A charming museum packed with local history. The museum is small, one large room and a smaller one off to the side, but it really packs a lot of exhibits in. There's a really strong emphasis on reflecting the local history of Hastings and it makes for a great companion visit along with the Museum and Gallery on the other side of town. It's free to enter as well, though well worth a donation to keep it running!

Great little museum, with lots of artefacts, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and free to enter. Accessible for pushchairs and wheelchair users. Some lovely little souvenirs are available to buy too. Definitely worth a visit
