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!

Wonderful experience. We travelled to Waterloo by train and hopped on boat to London Bridge for the Tower which was easy and entertaining. The Tower was fascinating, such history. The poppy installation was fantastic. A really good day.....but you need comfy walking shoes!
Christine H — Google review
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).

Absolutely a wonderful time. As a tourist from the US, I cannot believe the amount of history in one place. You could spend an entire vacation at this site alone. Seeing highlights from the coronation amd seeing them in real life was fantastic. The displays in the White Tower were worth it alone

Tower Bridge

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.
Stephen C — Google review
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.

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.

Good view from the top from a perspective you won't see otherwise. Short video of old footage of London was good. Information boards everywhere to enlighten visitors. On the London Pass so that makes it better value.

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.
Tippapai M — Google review
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.
Alessandra N — Google review
It was a wonderful experience. The museum has a good collection of Monet and Van Gogh paintings, which I really enjoyed. For just an afternoon, it’s possible to see everything without getting too tired, though you could easily spend a whole day if you want to study the works in detail. We visited on November 17, and there was also a Christmas market outside the museum, which added a very festive atmosphere.
Y. J — Google review
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.
Nigel H — Google review
I can say that I love this museum. Seeing such a collection of paintings for free is just amazing nowadays. There are beautiful paintings in every room. I could spend a day to visit it. Just do not forged taking a map at the entrance as this is a pretty large museum. French, Spanish, Italian, English, Deutsche… painters from middle age to impressionists. A pretty large collection of Impressionists paintings that can rival with that of Musée d’Orsay in France. Only the Louvre in France is more impressive (but far from being free) among all painting museums that I visited all other the world (with a special notice for Grenoble and Poitier’s painting museum that are great place to visit too).
Frederic R — Google review
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.
Kishan G — Google review
I visited the National Gallery today and absolutely loved it. It’s an absolute must visit place when in London, and you can spend hours wandering from room to room, never running out of things to look at. One of the highlights for me was seeing some of Monet’s pieces in person, a moment I’ve been looking forward to for so long. Standing in front of his work felt surreal, and it was worth the entire trip on its own. I highly recommend paying the galley a visit, especially because it’s free entry!
Chantelle — Google review
If you’re in London, you must visit this place. I stopped by during an 8 hour layover, and even though I couldn’t take my time the way I wanted to, it was absolutely worth it. The collection is stunning, wall after wall of masterpieces you could spend hours admiring. I barely scratched the surface and already felt amazed. I’ll definitely be coming back on a proper trip so I can truly enjoy and appreciate everything this museum has to offer.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The lastminute.com London Eye is a must-visit attraction in London, offering an exhilarating experience with its 32 capsules representing the city's boroughs. 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.
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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience! The London Eye offers some of the best views in the city—360° panoramas of the Thames, Big Ben, and the skyline. The ride is smooth and lasts long enough to really enjoy the scenery. Queues can get a bit long during peak hours, but they move quickly and are well-organized. Staff were friendly and the capsules were clean and comfortable. Definitely worth it, especially around sunset!
ADNAN S — Google review
I’ve been wanting to take the kids on The London Eye for a while but I’m glad I waited until they were older otherwise I think they would have got bored after a while! We came during the summer holidays so the weather was nice and the views were beautiful. I pre booked for the best ticket prices and to take advantage of the £20 per adult and £18 per child special offers. We enjoyed it and the kids were able to spot famous buildings which was fun 😁 The only let down was that there were alot of us in our cabin as we were grouped up with a large family with limited seating so after a while of standing i had to sit on the poles due to issues with my knee and the kids sat on the floor. It was a busy day and I think the staff filled the cubicle to capacity This is something to bear in mind for those that may have ailments or disabilities where they need to sit down. Other than that it is worth the visit, we didn’t wait long in the queue and they also take pictures and give you a card with a QR code which can be scanned so you can purchase the pictures after your ride which is nice 😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

The London Eye, an iconic Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames, offers a breathtaking experience that defines London’s skyline. At 135 meters, it’s one of the world’s tallest observation wheels, delivering unrivaled 360-degree views of landmarks like Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Shard. Each spacious, glass-walled capsule holds up to 25 people, ensuring comfort during the 30-minute rotation. The gentle pace allows ample time to soak in the city’s sprawl, with informative touchscreens pinpointing key sites. Tickets start at £33 online, though fast-track options (£48) cut wait times, a boon during peak seasons. Pre-booking is essential, as queues can swell, especially on weekends. The Eye operates daily, with evening rides showcasing London’s twinkling lights—perfect for romantics. Accessibility is excellent, with step-free access and wheelchair-friendly capsules. While the experience is undeniably magical, some may find the price steep for a single rotation, and foggy days can obscure distant views. Still, the London Eye’s blend of engineering marvel and panoramic splendor makes it a must-do. For families, couples, or first-time visitors, it’s a bucket-list highlight, offering a unique perspective on London’s historic and modern charm. Arrive early for shorter lines.

Big Ben Tour – Inside the Elizabeth Tower Visiting the Elizabeth Tower might just be one of the best things you can do in London. 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!

We didn't get to do the tour but coming off the tube and Big Ben being right there outside the station was pretty awesome. Its even bigger in person than I thought it would be. Really good angles from the station and out on the bridge.

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.

Buckingham Palace

Cultural landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarch in London, offers visitors the chance to explore its lavish private and state rooms or witness the iconic changing of the guard ceremony. For history enthusiasts, nearby attractions like Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London are highly recommended. Additionally, a leisurely stroll by Buckingham Palace may provide an opportunity to catch a glimpse of royalty or admire the handsome guards.
I had a great time attending Buckingham palace! The grounds were stunning and I even got to see a short performance from the guards. The landscaping and fountains were the highlight for me. The self-guided tour inside was great too. Buy your ticket in advance to pick your preferred time.

Interesting to be and see inside this storied place. The State Rooms are interesting and the chance to see the royal art collection is a real treat. I also enjoyed the special exhibition of art produced on the King Charles’s travel over the years as well as the throne room. It’s crowded but manageable. I also visited the mews with the carriages and would recommend. My disappointment was the limited access to the garden. The website lists the Royal Gardens as one of the highlights and includes pictures of the rose garden and other select spots. Once on-site I learned that much of the garden, including the roses I hoped to see, is off-limits unless you book a special tour, which were all booked. This is not made clear on the website when booking. Also note that the amount of time they indicate for the palace tour is far too long unless you’re planning to eat in the cafe and do a lot of shopping in the gift shop. I listened to the entire tour and spent time in all of the rooms and it took me 45 minutes or so—they indicate 2 to 2.5 hours. This can be an issue if you are booking multiple timed elements at the palace or tickets elsewhere.
Scott — Google review
Tickets are not necessary for the changing of the guard. But I recommend standing on the fountain if you cannot get near the fence. You will need tickets for the States room tour. It's well worth with it.
Lori D — Google review
Highly recommend the palace tour as the palace is quite stunning on the inside. Do buy the tickets in advance and show up right in time for your entry because there’s no wait then! The gift shop also has some quality souvenirs so I highly recommend it. Also, the palace gardens were my favourite gardens in London ✨✨✨✨

The palace is absolutely beautiful inside, but no photography. We really enjoyed our visit there. It's is a good bit of walking around but benches to rest on. There is a 20 minutes walk one you get outside to get back out to the main street but once again plenty of benches to rest.
Robin J — Google review
you can feel the history behind the building. A truly wonderful palace, with stunning architecture and beautifully maintained surroundings. Watching the Changing of the Guard adds to the charm, making it a must-see landmark when visiting London.
Matteo C — Google review
Visited during the changing of the guard I really didn’t know what I was in for. The crowds and fences were ridiculous and the event was not that impressive to me. I could’ve skipped it and been fine. Because of the event I really didn’t get to see the palace exterior and gates very well due to large crowds and barricades. Unless the changing of the guard is a bucket list thing you really want to see I would recommend not going during that event if you’re wanting to get a good view of the palace.
Shawn S — Google review
Strolling by Buckingham Palace with a friend in the afternoon was unforgettable. A lively crowd gathered out front, and to our surprise, the King himself exited! The grand palace looked stunning in the sunlight, and the nearby fountain added to the royal charm. Truly a special moment! If you are in the vicinity give it a go.

London Underground Limited

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.

Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation

Temporarily Closed
Wildlife refuge
Nature & Parks
Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation, located in Dartford, is a sanctuary for over 100 raptors from 50 different species. The center offers captivating daily flying demonstrations featuring eagles, falcons, owls, and even an Andean condor. In addition to the impressive birds of prey, visitors can also encounter meerkats, African servals, reptiles, farm animals like huskies and more.
We went down to foundation and I have to say it was worth the visit. The eagle flight show was the highlight of the whole trip. The bird keeper very impressive and I loved all the fun facts about the birds that he shared along the way. Other than the bird show to be honest the whole place can be explored within 10mins or so if you breeze by. But if you want to splurge, you should definitely get the animal experience or even the afternoon tea. And please carry some changed if you have any amount works, it just helps in the maintenance cost of running this foundation.

Have just returned from a great day at Eagle Heights . Went on a hike with the huskies and the my husband had an Eagle experience. All the staff are amazing so friendly from the ladies on the arrival desk , the lovely ladies on the cafe to the carers of the animals and those who take us on the experiences . They are so knowledgeable and must get the same questions asked a million times but they respond like it’s the first time . The highlight of the day was definitely Brad with the eagles , what amazing birds to work with. He clearly loves what he does and is calm , knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. Thank you to the entire team for a fabulous day . Would 100% recommend this amazing place . 🐾👍🦅🍰☕️

We booked in for a husky kennels tour for my daughter’s birth day. It did not disappoint. A full hands on interactive experience where clearly the dogs are at the heart of the keepers. The falconry displays (x2, with different birds each time) were amazing and the handlers made them as interactive as possible. It’s a small place but we had a really lovely time here and can highly recommend. They have a small gift shop which is also very reasonably priced.

Such a great day today at Eagle Heights! We went for afternoon tea which we really enjoyed- a great variety of sandwiches and sweet treats with scones that were warm! We were made to feel incredibly welcome by the cafe staff whom we had a really lovely chat with during our tea. The bird displays were really informative and fun. Although it is a very small place it is great to see the care that goes into looking after all of the animals there. Would really recommend as a fun afternoon out for adults, not just for kids!

We were a group of 4 booked for entry with afternoon tea. We had a hot drink on arrival before seeing the very informative and fascinating flying display of various owls and eagles. There are pens containing rare animal breeds and huskies and cages with hawks, owls and eagles. All looked well cared for and clean. We had a nicely presented afternoon tea in the café before returning for the second flying demonstration with different birds. We would all recommend Eagle Heights for a happy outing. The staff we met were all helpful and friendly from the entrance to the feeding and cleaning volunteers. This is a small, but very interesting, place to visit for all ages.

Windsor Castle

Mentioned on

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Windsor Castle, located in the royal borough of Windsor, is the oldest and largest inhabited castle globally. It has served as the family home for British monarchs for nearly a millennium and is currently an official residence of Her Majesty The Queen. The castle features spectacular art, antiques, and a chapel within its grounds.
A Breathtaking Journey Through History My visit to Windsor Castle was an absolutely unforgettable experience. It is not just a castle; it is a living monument to British history and royalty, and it truly deserves its reputation. The castle itself is magnificently grand and imposing, set against beautifully manicured lawns and pristine gardens. The contrast between the sturdy, historic stone walls and the flawless green landscaping is strikingly beautiful. Inside, the arrangement of the State Apartments is both logical and fascinating. Each room flows into the next, revealing its unique function, from grand halls for ceremonies to more intimate living quarters. They are beautifully preserved and offer a genuine sense of how the palace operated. Furthermore, the furnishings are not merely decorative; they are functional pieces of art. The vast and diverse collections are utterly precious. I was particularly captivated by the extensive array of portraits of royal members. These paintings, varying in size, are so vividly lifelike that they seem to breathe, telling the story of the monarchy across the centuries. The entire visit was an eye-opening and dazzling spectacle. It leaves one in deep awe of the British Royal Family's centuries of influence, global history, and their immense accumulation of cultural and artistic treasures. It was, without a doubt, a trip that was worth taking in every sense.

Its an english castle. Well kept. I Its slightly less for value of money. Would advice to buy tickets in advance as that will save money. If you are visiting multiple castles throughout UK, kindly buy a pass for them as that will be cheaper rather than buying tickets at every castle. No pictures allowed inside.

We took the day trip to Windsor Castle, Bath, and Stonehenge, and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Steve, was wonderful, he is incredibly knowledgeable and funny. I also want to give a big shout out to our coach driver Carlos who made sure we got to each location in a timely manner. ​Steve shared so many interesting facts, especially at Bath and Windsor Castle my favorite stop. It's a lot to see in one day, but Steve managed the schedule perfectly. Lunch at La cock was a nice touch and very delicious. ​Seeing all these iconic sites in one go was unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!
Nick G — Google review
The castle is quite large, especially the Royal Apartments, which include many rooms. You should allow around four hours to explore everything calmly and take it all in, and that’s even without taking photos, since photography and video recording inside the apartments are unfortunately not allowed. The castle grounds are beautiful, with lovely trees and a small park. You can also see the royal guards outside, who seem to change several times a day, marching across the castle grounds. We visited on a rainy day, and although the weather wasn’t ideal, there were still quite a few visitors. I highly recommend taking the audio guide, it’s available in several languages and gives an excellent explanation of each building, room, and painting. In the guidebook, the tour starts with the Royal Apartments and then continues to St. George’s Chapel, but in reality, the chapel seems more logical to visit first, as most people turn left rather than going straight uphill to the apartments. Perhaps this is because there aren’t many clear signs outside indicating the order of the route, unlike inside the Royal Apartments, where the directions are very well organized. Because of this, the route can feel a bit confusing, or maybe it was just because we were rushing to find shelter from the heavy rain, as we didn’t have umbrellas. There are several souvenir shops on the castle grounds and a café where you can buy official chocolate, keychains, magnets, books, toys, coins, jewelry, and beautifully designed pens and pencils. From the windows of the Royal Apartments, there’s a truly stunning panoramic view of the inner garden, which, unfortunately, is closed to visitors. The bushes are perfectly trimmed, genuinely royal. We arrived at the castle around 11:00 a.m. and stayed until about 2:45 p.m. Online tickets cost £31, but since it was a Monday in November, there were no queues, so we bought ours on-site for £35 per adult. Before entering, there’s a security check at the gate. Overall, the castle is absolutely worth visiting, a perfect trip for one or one and a half days. The town itself has a great variety of restaurants, cafés, and souvenir shops. The train station is right in the centre, about a five-minute walk away. Everything is within walking distance, our hotel was just 10 minutes from the castle, which was perfect, as after dinner in town we could enjoy a short walk back. Since the castle stands right in the heart of the town, there are hotels just across the street, but even those located a bit further away are still very convenient and charming. Parking could be improved, as in most tourist towns in England. We checked several public car parks, with daily rates between £22 and £28. Our hotel had its own secure parking area behind the building, gated and monitored, for £20 per day. It might be worth checking some higher-end hotels, as a few of them may offer free parking, though such options are quite limited.

St George's Chapel

Chapel
Sights & Landmarks
St George's Chapel, located within the grounds of Windsor Castle, is a stunning example of late medieval Perpendicular Gothic architecture. Founded in the 14th century by King Edward III and expanded in the late 15th century, it has been an integral part of royal history for centuries. As a place of worship, it hosts multiple services daily and is open to visitors, except on Sundays.
Magnificent chapel with a Gothic architectural grandeur more typical of a fine cathedral, situated within the grounds of Windsor Castle. One of the highlights of the castle visit, the chapel's interior is as impressive as its exterior, with stunning ceilings, soaring arches and ornate oriel windows. Unfortunately photography is not permitted inside, but this helps keep visitors flowing through to avoid crowding. A number of memorials reside within the chapel, with 10 former royals laid to rest inside. The digital audio guide covers the chapel in detail and helps enhance the visitor experience. The chapel opening times are more restricted than the rest of the castle grounds, so it's worth checking the website before visiting to avoid disappointment.

Highly recommended! St George's Chapel is a Gothic chapel located in the lower bailey of Windsor Castle in Berkshire, England. Windsor, the most important castle in England, is the primary residence of the monarch. The castle chapel is under the direct jurisdiction of the monarch and is the seat of the Congregation of the Order of the Garter. The castle chapel was founded in the 14th century by King Edward III and significantly expanded in the late 15th century. It is the site of many royal church services, weddings and funerals. If you bought a ticket to visit Windsor Castle, the chapel is included in the ticket price. You can also buy a separate ticket for much cheaper if you do not plan to visit the castle. A castle + chapel ticket costs 35 pounds, a ticket only for the chapel is about 7 pounds. Information accurate as of June 2025. P.S. I try to share specific information. If the review was useful, put 👍. I don't get any "goodies", but other tourists will see this review first. Have a good mood and exciting travels!🌍☀️🪂

An absolutely stunning church, with such a long and varied history behind it and of course now the resting place of Queen Elizabeth II as well as her mother, father, sister and her beloved Prince Philip. You aren't allowed to take photographs or videos but this is of course for a very good reason and everyone around me also followed the rules and refrained from taking photographs. Its a very special place to reflect and will be forevermore.

Within the grounds of Windsor Castle and a bit of a misnomer.... chapel, it's more like a cathedral. Epic historical building. No photography allowed inside. Built in the late medieval perpendicular Gothic style. Founded in the 14th century. Definitely worth going to see if you like architecture as the interior is magnificent and awesome.

LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort is a playful property that offers thrill rides, Lego statues, and themed rooms. It also provides free Wi-Fi and breakfast for guests. While in the area, visitors can explore the town and surrounding areas on an all-day hop-on, hop-off bus tour that includes stops at various points of interest such as Windsor Great Park, Eton College, Datchet Green for river cruises, and The Long Walk.
Great day out. Arrived when it opened and left at 5:45 children were 6 and 3. It was busy but from talking to others not as busy as school holidays. Smaller rides the wait was short which worked for us. Took the older one on 3 that that the other couldn't go on too. Went on enough to say it was worth it. My only criticism is there is no sense of pace with the staff. Could have moved the que a little faster if they were more enthusiastic. This is not a reflection on all the rides it was just on a few. Model village was fascinating for the kids with lots of moving parts. Once rides were over we spent at least half an hour there, could have spent longer. Took a packed lunch with us but plenty on food places. Would go back when my youngest is able to get on more rides.

We visited Legoland on a Sunday afternoon and stayed in one of the woodland lodges before a full day in the park. The process of booking the stay was fairly convoluted on the website, but from that point, there were clear instructions and links for all our passes, which were very handy to have on the official app! Sunday in the park was manic and not at all quiet, with 40 min queues for all the main rides (including the underwhelming Dragon rollercoaster). Flight of the sky lion is a great ride, but please sort the queue system out for people with the fast access pass (some of which have paid extra). We waited longer in this queue than people were in the standard entry! I don't think the clearly hungover lad running it could cope with figuring out what to do. The site is quite sprawling and despite there being a train that runs from the entrance into the middle of the park, it isn't always in operation, so prepare for the walk back up the winding hill! Food offerings are standard over-priced fried theme park fare unfortunately, with little imagination in the variety on offer. Breakfast at the woodland lodge clubhouse was fairly decent on the other hand. Our lodge was clean and spacious, with the skylight projector in the kids room being a nice touch. The treasure hunt also went down a treat. You might want to take earplugs though, as the Heathrow flight path is directly above, so sleep was fairly limited to the hours of 11pm -5am. It could be so much better in places, but overall it was still an enjoyable outing that was worth checking out.

Great theme park, I enjoyed the rides, we didn’t wait to wait too long to get onto the rides and there was 2 that we did a couple of times. Kids loved it. The Lego mini land was great, loads to see and a lot of detail gone into it. Food was expensive but always is at these places. We’d happily return!

Bad: Rides waiting time: I'm starting with bad because I want people to first know what they are getting into so they can make a better decision. The rides have massive queues, the resort is not very organised in terms of crowd management. The queues are massive, like there's at least 60 minute of waiting for almost all the rides, unless you have ultimate ride pass forget about managing to do even 3-4 rides in a day. And their opening times are only 10-5, which is definitely not enough for the money you pay. I had ultimate pass and still I couldn't do all the rides and it felt such a stretch - is it worth the money though : absolutely. As we didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for any rides. But it's ot for people who can't afford to pay for those passes. Food: If you are vegetarian, forget about eating here, not many options to eat, a Pizza place, that's beyond expensive £23-£24pp - with very limited vegetarian options, a burger place that does serve vegetarian burger, and the waffles place can't handle crowds and they close the shop when they can't handle the load. Face paint: rude staff and poor face painting skills Good: ultimate pass is rhe best way to enjoy the park, we loved all the rides we took. Miniland is awesome and so is their train. Staff is helpful (if you find them).

Visited Legoland with my two kids (1 and 4 years old) and we had a really good day out. Went during school time so there were hardly any queues, which was great! The park was clean and tidy with plenty to see and do to fill the day. Not much for the 1-year-old, but our 4-year-old loved it and went on lots of rides. Overall a fun family day out and would definitely go again when they’re a bit older.

The kids absolutely loved it. It was definitely a fun outing that everyone in our group really enjoyed. The ride times generally seemed to work out pretty well, and you can definitely make a great day out of it if the weather stays nice. The pizza and pasta buffet was efficient and there was plenty of food to go around.

Had a really good time with my 2 daughters. They both enjoyed the experience. Seeing how much stuff was built out of bricks was awesome. Some really good rides. Had to queue a bit but expected on a busy day. Would definitely recommend and 100% come back again

A very nice amusement park. It needs some social spaces/facilities like cafes or restaurants. Theme park is nice. Mini land is very cheerful area. Priority parking is extremely convenient but general parking is a bit far, consider this if you have any mobility difficulties.

Temporarily Closed
Water & Amusement Parks
Theme park
Thorpe Park Resort offers a wide range of rides and attractions suitable for all ages, making it an ideal destination for families and thrill-seekers alike. The park features well-managed queues and accurate ride wait times through its app, ensuring a smooth experience for visitors. However, some caution is advised regarding certain rides' sensitivity to winds. While the variety of food outlets is extensive, there are mixed reviews about the quality of the food offered, with some expressing a desire for healthier options.
One of the best theme parks I've visited so far. Second best in the UK but is home to the best rollercoaster in the UK, Hyperia. It is absolutely amazing, the food is great and the views on and off of the coasters are amazing. My ranking list of the rollercoasters: 1. Hyperia 2. Swarm 3. Stealth 4. Nemesis Inferno 5. Colossus 6. Saw 7. The Walking Dead: The Ride 8. Flying fish. Honourable mentions: Tidal wave (Best water ride in the UK). Detonator. Zodiac. Samurai. Vortex. Rush. I'd definitely recommend the park to any thrill seekers and even if you aren't you should give the coasters and other rides a try.

After waiting in a queue for more than 2 1/2 hours, just to get into the park, to then only get on 4 rides in 7 hours was a really big disappointment, especially after paying £40 for a ticket 🎟. To fast track 1 ride per person was an extra £16 each but was still no solid guarantee to be that much quicker in the mile long queues for rides, so unfortunately, my first, and no doubt, last ever visit to Thorpe Park, was massively disappointing to say the least. Bring on the day, a paying customers satisfaction and experience are prioritised over how much money 💰 they can make, and gladly take from us, each day.

The attraction was amazing. We went for fright night and the actors where so nice. Creature campus looked after my niece for me when I went on a ride with my boys because she wasnt feeling up to it and sung happy birthday to her which made her feel so happy to be there. I really recommend coming its a great day out with the family and definitely come for fright night. The food was amazing 100% recommend food. Staff was great. Actors amazing. Survival games scare maze breathe takingly amazing although sometimes you do get split up from the group. We went on a Thursday so it wasn't as busy and the ride queues weren't really long. The actors remembered my niece all through the night and everytime we saw them they would say hello. Also Connie and rattlesnack and all the Frank's are so wonderful and nice. My niece's name is bethany.

Visited on Sunday, 2 November 2025 and had a great day overall. The atmosphere and theming were brilliant. Hyperia was stunning, though both my friend and I (in our thirties) had neck pain after one ride and ended up taking paracetamol, so it might be worth reviewing comfort. One staff member at the curry outlet was unnecessarily rude when I asked her to repeat herself, which took the shine off things. The small Stranger Things shed looked amazing - I would love to see that expanded into a full attraction in the future!
James R — Google review
Queues were pretty crazy, 1 hour just to get in! 1 hour minimum for a ride, 2 hours+ for hyperia, if you didn't have a fast pass. Was impressed with the vegan options for food though! Also there are quite a few electric charging points in the car park, which are compatible with the octopus electroverse cars

An amazing theme park, compact and easy to get around, so many extreme rides. Great for teenagers and up, no so for little ones. But be prepared for very long queues if you go on a weekend and in the holidays... try not to, pull a sick day and go in the week! 😅

First time doing fright night at any of the parks. Great atmosphere, decent scare mazes, and riding rollercoasters in the dark was my favourite theme park experience ever. Well worth the money considering the extended opening times.
Olly P — Google review
Thorpe Park is built for thrill seekers. Adult tickets bought in advance start at around thirty-three pounds, but if you pay on the day the price can jump to about sixty-six, so planning ahead makes a real difference. The park is always busy, especially on weekends and school holidays, and while the atmosphere is energetic and lively, the crowds also mean queues can stretch for a long time on the most popular rides!! The rides themselves are the main draw and they don’t disappoint. Hyperia, the new record-breaking coaster, is a breathtaking mix of speed and airtime, while Stealth launches you from zero to motorway speeds in under two seconds. The Swarm twists and dives with enough inversions to leave you grinning or disoriented, and Colossus still holds its charm with ten back-to-back loops, even if it’s a little rougher than newer designs. Water rides like Tidal Wave break things up nicely and are especially refreshing in summer, though almost every major attraction demands patience in the queues. Food inside the park is a mixed experience: there’s plenty of choice, from pizza and wraps to fish and chips, but prices are predictably high, with meals ranging from seven to twenty pounds and more premium sit-down options at the hotel restaurant going higher still. Quality varies but is usually decent, and bringing a few snacks or a refillable water bottle can save money. By the time you leave, tired and likely a little lighter in the wallet, the buzz of the rides and the sheer adrenaline rush usually make the day feel worth it — it’s an experience that delivers thrills in abundance, even if it comes at a price. Far too scary for me .

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
The Chessington World of Adventures Resort boasts two hotels with laid-back rooms, some featuring vistas of the safari. Guests can enjoy casual dining while immersing themselves in the park's unique atmosphere. For those seeking outdoor activities, there are opportunities to explore Alice Holt's distinct character on bikes, venturing into the serene countryside that straddles Surrey and Hampshire. Along stunning paths through the peaceful oak woodlands, visitors can spot a variety of wildlife species like woodpeckers and more.
We stayed in the Safari Hotel for 4 nights and had the best time! The room was clean and large which was great as we could put some toys out on the floor for our 14 month old. The one thing that stood out the most was the friendliness of the staff. Every single person we came into contact with from the reception team, cleaners and restaurant staff were friendly, helpful and polite. On the first morning our breakfast was served in the Temple Restaurant and we were greeted by Joanne who blew us away with her attentiveness and thoroughness to show us exactly where everything was. We felt so welcome. The next morning and for the rest of our stay we had breakfast at the Zafari restaurant where Julie looked after us. Julie was AMAZING with our daughter and would make a special effort to come over every morning to check we were okay and play with our daughter. Julie would sing songs and play with her and it really made us feel we were in the right place for our family. Julie is a STAR. We enjoyed 2 days in the park itself and loved every part of it. Seeing the animals was our favourite as this is something we could all do as a family. We had a great stay and will definitely be back. Thank you! 🙂

So much to do for all of the family our age range was 6-11 and there was only 1 ride the 6yr old couldn't go on so if you have thrill seekinging younger ones I would recommend Chessington but also the gruffalo ride and room on a broom we're amazing gentle fun the was perfect for a little (or big) one that doesn't like going too fast. Plenty of photo opportunities to capture the family fun memories

I’ve been visiting Chessington ever since I was a kid, and now I get to bring my own children here! The park has retained much of its charm from when I was younger. My daughters are 8 and 2, and there are plenty of rides and attractions suitable for both of them to enjoy. It’s great to see the park continuing to evolve with exciting additions like the Jumanji area and the upcoming Paw Patrol attraction. However, I do feel that some of the older rides could use a bit more attention — we got stuck on the Gruffalo ride, and the Vampire ride (my very first rollercoaster!) was unfortunately closed. I was really looking forward to sharing that nostalgic experience with my daughter. Overall, Chessington is still a fantastic family day out and a place full of wonderful memories. We’ll definitely be back once the new areas and rides open up!
Kristian J — Google review
A very good family theme park. There is a wide variety of attractions, including a good selection of rollercoasters for those wanting rides of the slightly more thrilling type. There are also many younger oriented rides.
Tate B — Google review
Disappointing Experience at Chessington Adventures I spent around 45 minutes stuck in traffic just trying to get into the park, and then another 30 minutes driving around the car park looking for a space. Even though we paid full price for our tickets, we were only able to go on about 3–5 rides the entire day because of how extremely busy it was. The signboards claimed the waiting time was 30 minutes, but that’s completely inaccurate — it took at least double that for every ride. The park itself looks nice, but the whole experience was ruined by the endless queues and poor crowd management. Overall, it was an awful experience and definitely not worth the time or money. I wouldn’t want to visit again.
Ramesh A — Google review
I visited Chessington World of Adventures today with my family and had a really good time. The weather was lovely, which always helps, and I was impressed with how easy it was to get on the rides. Most of them had little to no queue at all, so we could go straight on, which was fantastic with young children. The kids really enjoyed themselves and there was a nice mix of rides suitable for their ages. On the downside, some of the rides could definitely do with a bit more cleaning and maintenance, as a few looked quite worn. I also noticed a bit of a rat problem near some of the bins, which was unpleasant to see. Overall though, we had a very enjoyable day out and I would recommend it to families, especially if you can go on a quieter day like we did.
Tom R — Google review
Lovely day with the children, my only criticism is the time it takes to get onto the ride, the cost to upgrade is just too much, but the time wasted on getting people off and on I think could be improved to speed things up. The guys in the ticket office were brilliant after some issues with my tickets not coming through they sorted it very quickly.
Tim K — Google review
Chessington is an all rounded place to visit as it both has animals and rides!!! The ride queue time is sometimes long but you get to buy quick access tickets. Sometimes even when the queue was just 5 minutes you had to walk through the long queue path which sometimes can be annoying. The park has something for everyone. Not much choice in food especially if you are health conscious but you get to bring your own picnic. Staff were friendly in the park- not so much in the car park. The refill stations for the cups you can buy for £18 were few and not well sign posted and the ones stationed outside were covered in wasps. The ones in the sweet shop were great!! They also don’t let u refill for ten minutes which was also annoying cos I got a couple of wasps in my first drink!! The rides were good. The animals look healthy and happy. I had a very good day out here.

Chartwell

Mentioned on

$$$$affordable
Historical place
Chartwell, located in Kent, is a well-preserved country house that once belonged to Sir Winston Churchill. This National Trust site offers visitors a glimpse into the life of the great man through maps, documents, photographs, and personal mementoes.
This is the former home of the Churchill family now owned by the National Trust. A superb property that has the feel of a family home throughout and not a country retreat etc, built to impress. You also get the addition of stunning gardens and grounds plus a gallery/studio housing Winston's paintings and sole sculpture. A really interesting property to spend a day browsing.
Steve R — Google review
We went to Chartwell on an October weekday over the autumn half term. It proved to be a popular destination and the car parks were very full. There are toilets a fairly large, modern cafe and a gift shop close to the reception area. If you wish to see the house then it is necessary to book a time slot in order to control number of visitors inside. The house has beautiful views from the windows and is fascinating, being packed with family furniture, photos and pictures. It also contains many souvenirs and gifts received over Churchill's long and distinguished life and career as well as a collection of his many uniforms. There are helpful and knowledgeable guides in each room The gardens and grounds are extensive and were lovely even on a rather dull autumn day. In summer they must be ablaze with colour. Churchill's large studio is situated a little distance from the house and the walls are lined with many of his paintings. There is an interactive guide which gives information on each of them. The gardens are reasonably accessible but may cause a problem for the less mobile as there are quite a few steps and not all have handrails. There is a shuttle bus for those who would find the steepish journey from reception to the house too much or are tired after walking the grounds.
Gillian P — Google review
Excellent. The warm and convivial atmosphere of the house is palpable. This was a home, and that sense has been beautifully kept. And what a home! The walled garden is stunning in the summer months. The large estate and woods are perfect for exploring or just admiring the views. Absolutely worth repeated visits. Do book in advance, especially in the summer. It gets busy and entrance to the house is timed.
Matthew B — Google review
This was a very special, since Sir Churchill was someone I have been admitted and studied about. If anyone likes a history, appreciate a true beauty of British culture and their heritage as myself I would truly recommend this place. There is so much to see. The house itself has lots of room, then you got a big landscaping and trails around to hike, besides the main House there is art house - where all Sir Churchill painting are placed, cafe shop, local shop. However, my day made people who works there. Each room have a person who are very happy to answer any questions you have, full of passion and knowledge while telling the story. I was very fascinated and felt part of it. Each person was amazing, I didn't catch all names but I would love to Thank you all, especially Paul "Sir Churchill work room', two gents in art room (where I was amazed and like hypnotised listing) - indeed, everyone who I had a pleasure to meet - Thank you for your time. Highly recommend. Besides, I have met very helpful and kind people in town. Thank You - you restored my hope for kindness. For anyone who use public transport, please ensure about the bus who runs only 3x a day.

As Churchill used to say, “A day without Chartwell is a day wasted.” I understood what he meant after visiting this historical place for the first time. The estate is vast and beautifully organized. The rooms are fascinating, filled with countless items from Churchill’s life. There are also many paintings - not only by Churchill himself, but also works by artists like Claude Monet and Townsend. The house has retained its old charm; walking through it feels like stepping into a time capsule. You’ll find numerous artefacts from the Second World War - Churchill’s uniforms, documents, photographs, and gifts he received from world leaders. My favorites were his cigar boxes, Napoleon’s tea set, and the glittering gifts from Josef Stalin - silver, glass, and gem-studded fruit bowls among them. There are many other treasures from the most prominent figures of his era like General de Gaulle, King Abdul Aziz or Franklin D. Roosevelt to name few. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with scenic paths, gardens, and ponds all around. If the weather is good, don’t miss a stroll through the woods beyond the ponds - the tree house there is a highlight, and yes, even adults can fit inside! ;) There’s also plenty of practical convenience: a large car park, a spacious National Trust café, and well-run facilities. I’ve been visiting Chartwell for many years, and it always has something new to offer. Their current Halloween-themed activities are great fun for children. I’ll definitely be back - a truly inspiring place, steeped in history and nature.

What a history and what a well looked after home of great politician Winston Churchill. In fact, this looks like a very well presented exhibition how the great man lived and did. The grounds and gardens are equally beautiful. The facilities provided, like parking, cafeteria, restaurant etc are more than adequate. However, considering all the above the entry fee still seems a bit steep as compared to other similar properties of National Trust.

Visited Chartwell House on the 5th Nov. Sadly the house was closed for decorating for Christmas. However the gardens were stunning and well worth a visit in of themselves. The views were stunning and serene. A nice place to decompress. It would have been nice to see Winston Churchills home. But give me an excuse to visit again. Also sampled their spicy bean soup and had to have some apple crumble cake, made from apples from the grounds, delicious.

RHS Garden Wisley, located in Wisley Lane, Woking GU23 6QB, spans over 200 acres and boasts a diverse collection of more than 25,000 plant species. Visitors can explore the famous Borders with its lush foliage and fragrant flowers or marvel at The Glasshouse, which houses a world-class collection of rare and endangered plants within its expansive space.
We attended an evening “walkies at Wisley” earlier in the week. What an amazing event. Beautiful gardens open to well behaved dogs (and owners) for an evening stroll. Thoroughly enjoyed it. So did our dog, who seemed to have a big smile on his face the whole time. We just wished we were able to come to the previous Walkies evenings. Please, please have more of these throughout the year. We also would have eaten here too if some of the cafes/restaurants were open, or even offered a pre-ordered picnic basket of sorts. Lines at the few mobile drinks/ice cream van spots were quite long. We saw some very inspiring people had brought picnics and were rather envious of their spread, sitting amongst the beautiful gardens. Very inspiring so we will plan better before next visit. We will be back when we can bring our little doggy again. Please do consider adding more Walkies dates.

The Versailles of British gardening If Kew is the King, then Wisley is unquestionably the Crown Prince beautifully groomed, impeccably mannered, and dripping in horticultural old-money charm. The borders are magnificent. The glasshouse is a cathedral of tropical splendour. Even the ducks appear to have degrees in botany. You don’t visit Wisley you take pilgrimage. Spring brings tulips arranged with mathematical perfection. Summer is dahlia heaven. Autumn is a masterclass in fiery foliage. Winter? Even the frost looks curated. The gift shop deserves its own postcode and a security guard you will leave with at least one book you didn’t need, a mug you don’t have room for, and seeds for plants you cannot pronounce. This is simply the Wisley effect. Bring: Comfortable shoes A packed lunch (or a willing wallet the café is delicious but not for the faint-pursed) A camera, because the borders humiliate your own garden mercilessly If you love plants, go. If you don’t love plants, go anyway you will by the end.

Great place to walk around and blow the cobwebs off on a drizzly Sunday afternoon. The autumnal colours are amazing there's still a surprising number of flowers out. Well with a visit. Check out annual passes as they may not be much more than a day pass (especially if you're a student!).

Stunning day out with the family, to be in awe of nature. Mind-blowing how many different trees/plants/flowers there are around you (all labelled!) and how exquisitely they are maintained by the RHS Wisley team. Managed to get discounted tickets and thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing day of walking around all of the different gardens. The indoor glass house is also amazing in what feels like a rainforest climate! Definitely one to check out for the day to get in the clean air and appreciate the incredible creation around us! Ample free parking available.

The gardens were beautifully maintained and the old house was a stunning backdrop to some of my photos.

Hever Castle & Gardens

Mentioned on 
+82 other lists 
Castle
Museums
Hever Castle & Gardens is a historic castle dating back to 1270, featuring Tudor artworks and opulent furnishings. The castle was the childhood home of Anne Boleyn and later owned by William Waldorf Astor. Located in Kent, England, the area is rich with other notable attractions such as Leeds Castle, Penshurst Place, Canterbury Cathedral, and Sissinghurst Castle & Garden.
Hever Castle is a great place to visit. The grounds are great: there's ducks to be feed, a stream running through, plenty of grass to stretch out on on a sunny day. The gardens are lovely, with plenty of variety and interesting corners. The house is fantastic. If you want, you can grab an audio tour free of charge or just wander through at your own leisure. There is plenty to see and appreciate. However, if you are someone who has limited mobility, be aware that access to some of the upper areas are only via tight and winding staircases. There are no lifts, so wheelchair users will be limited to the ground floor. The gardens, however, have plenty of wheelchair access points. Parking is included in the ticket price. The food in the cafe is reasonably priced. The icecreams are excellent and also reasonably priced. Buy your tickets in advance. The gardens open at 10am and the house at 12pm. Plan to head for the house for 12pm and avoid queues. It really is a great day out.
Simon S — Google review
Truly exceptional. A perfect blend of captivating history, magnificent gardens, and engaging activities for all ages. You can easily spend a full, delightful day here. ​Hever Castle is not just a building; it’s an immersive experience that lives up to its 'fairy-tale' reputation. As a visitor, what truly stands out is how well the estate caters to diverse interests, from the most dedicated Tudor enthusiast to a family looking for a fun day out. The 125 acres of gardens are stunning and a massive part of the attraction. They are meticulously maintained and offer something different in every season. Picnic is a good idea: While there are on-site cafes and restaurants, they can be a bit pricey. The grounds offer numerous scenic spots for a picnic. ​Wear comfortable shoes: The gardens and lake walk cover a significant amount of ground. ​Time it right: If you are a history fanatic, plan for half a day in the castle/formal gardens. If you have children, plan for the whole day to enjoy the mazes and playgrounds.

Such a beautiful place to visit and plenty of history... looking around the castle it self is very interesting, I would recommend taking the audio guide when offered to you as has plenty of information, as if it busy its hard to get to the information signs which are dotted about. The gardens are well looked after and beautiful to wander around on a sunny day. They have cafes and shops to look around to. The grounds are fine for wheel chairs and a buggy but the castle isn't suitable

Hever Castle & Gardens is an AMAZING place to visit! Ansolutely stunning Italian park, lake, yew maze, fountains and superb floral displays surrounding a very old castle superbly maintained and loved.

Beautiful castle and grounds with a lot of history. Be prepared to spend quite a few hours here. The water maze was fun, and not just for children, be warned, you may get wet, but not if you are careful 😉.

My wife and and I only got to see castle and gardens because we over 6 hours of time to kill before our flight from Gatwick Airport.It was was one of the best decisions we have ever made, we were lucky with the weather, it was a lovely sunny and warm day and the castle and gardens looked superb, but the garden were outstanding, ! The castle itself is worth seeing being the home of Anne Boleyn and her family, but we found the gardens magnificent and well worth coming to visit alone.

Tulleys Farm offers a delightful experience for both kids and adults. The farm features an animal patch and various entertainment options, allowing parents to relax at Tulleys Tea Room while the little ones are occupied. Visitors can enjoy a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of Christmas markets, although it's advisable to wear wellies or old shoes due to muddy conditions after rain. The farm boasts beautiful blooming flowers, particularly tulips, providing ample photo opportunities.
Visited this farm back in April and it was a wonderful experience, so beautiful seeing so many tulips of different species. It's a huge field full of plants. There is a shop and stalls selling drinks and food. The only negative aspect it's a very touristy attraction so it was a bit crowded. We visited during the weekend maybe during the week is better. Highly recommended.

Amazing Autumn Atmosphere! This pumpkin farm offers an absolutely amazing experience that goes far beyond simple pumpkin picking. The overall environment is welcoming, festive, and truly captures the spirit of the season. What truly elevates this spot is the phenomenal attention to detail in the spooky decoration. It's clear a huge effort was made to create a fun, slightly eerie atmosphere, providing fantastic photo opportunities at every turn. From hay bales to haunted props, the decor makes this the ultimate autumnal destination. The selection of gourds was plentiful, and the staff were wonderful. Highly recommended for a memorable, festive, and wonderfully creepy fall It was amazing 👏 I like the environment and spooky decoration!

Pleasant few hours spent picking pumpkins and toasting marshmallows with the kids. Most of the 'growing' pumpkins had already gone, but plenty more had been shipped in and were dotted around the field to select from. Lots of different varieties also available from the stores if you don't fancy pushing a wheelbarrow around the field! Didn't fancy the Ferris wheel, but probably provides great views if you don't mind heights.

Decided to relive my teenage nostalgia and return to Shocktober for the first time in seven years. Previously it was the place to go and made for a tremendous experience. This time round, it's sadly lost its touch. Massively oversold and overcrowded, it's clear profit is put before experience whereas it once was the other way round. Thankfully I’d purchased some fast track in advance as queue times were obscene. Even still, I had to queue for 10/15 mins in fast track lanes at times. Pros -Purgatory was quality and my favourite of all time. "Free Roaming" actors like the Skinfluencers were very funny and entertaining. Set design was absolutely fantastic as always. Cons - Far too many people allowed into haunts at a time/with too little time between groups. You'd either be caught up by the group behind or catchup the one infront. This KILLED the immersion and enjoyment massively. The flouting of their own rules was not enforced? There are clear rules that say no smoking/vaping, no face masks etc yet I saw people lighting up in the queues and a fair few road men in their finest bin bag attire (to impress their underage girlfriend) walking round ballied up like they've just robbed a bank. I know it's close proximity to Crawley but come on now... Better still was “security” where only those with a bag would be searched. If you hadn’t a bag, you were free to walk in with whatever you fancied! Knife? Acid in a lucozade bottle? Drugs? Must be part of your costume eh lad. Maybe that’s a critique due to my line of work but it did feel a bit pointless. All in all a shadow of its former self. I still had fun however and glad I returned, but think this'll be the last trip full stop. Kudos to the actors and event staff, they all work hard and probably for minimum wage. Sadly I don’t think the experience will be salvageable unless they actually cap ticket numbers drastically.

We had such a fantastic afternoon at Tulleys Farm. From the beautiful fall decor, the very large pumpkin patch, the roaming singers and cast in costume to the marshmellow roast stations (or smores station as they sell a kit too), pumpkin spice latte and ferris wheel we could only have a great time. We got to pick our own pumpkins straight from the patch and carry them in a wheelbarrow made available by the team who was nothing but welcoming. Can't carry big pumpkins home ? Fear not their collection of pumpkin plush toys will definitely call your name. If coming from London, you can either take the bus or more easily take a taxi as there are some available there just waiting to get you home safe. We will definitely make it a yearly tradition !

Park
Nature & Parks
Tilgate Park, located on Crawley's southern border, is a sprawling former country estate spanning over 2,000 acres of lush countryside in the High Weald. The park offers a delightful experience for visitors with its scenic trails winding through fragrant pine forests and alongside the expansive Tilgate Lake. Nature enthusiasts can indulge in various water activities such as kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and sailing at Tilgate Park Watersports.
Tilgate Park is a fantastic place for a family day out, offering something for everyone. The park is beautifully maintained, with plenty of open green spaces, scenic walking trails, and a stunning lake that makes for a perfect picnic spot. The adventure playground kept the kids entertained for hours, and there’s even a Go Ape for those looking for more thrills. For those who enjoy a bit of relaxation, the gardens and peaceful wooded areas are perfect for a quiet stroll. And if you don’t feel like packing a picnic, the café on-site offers tasty food and drinks. Whether you’re visiting with young children, teenagers, or just looking for a great outdoor spot, Tilgate Park is a fantastic choice! We’ll definitely be back.

I've been visiting Tilgate Park for many years and always have an enjoyable walk, whatever the weather. The walled garden is well kept and always worth a visit. Bought a cake from the cafe to takeaway which was yummy and homemade; although it's not always open so best to check before visiting/ relying on it being open for lunch/ snacks. There are features to see around the park and there are activities if you want to do them. Generally a lovely place to explore

My family and I had a wonderful experience with dinosaurs in the park, and my children love it! Their playground was a nice to play and lovely view of Tilgate Park. Stall foods were there and ride as well. It is good and fun for the May half term bank holiday weekend. 🦕☀️😍

Birdworld

Mentioned on

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Birdworld, located in Farnham GU10 4LD, is a sprawling 26-acre park that houses a diverse range of birds from penguins to parrots and owls to ostriches. Visitors can enjoy daily events such as penguin feeding and animal encounters, as well as take a ride on the safari train. The park features attractions like the Outback Landing aviary, Owl Parliament, and Jenny Wren Farm where visitors can meet and stroke animals.
We used the Hampshire Top Attraction website to get discounted entry. It's a lovely clean attraction with a couple of cafes serving a variety of food and drink. We bought a picnic with us and there were plenty of places to stop and eat at picnic benches in the sun and shade. We didn't walk around until after lunch as our children enjoyed the new tree top adventure park so much. Even though we have young children the tree top adventure was safe for them and mostly big enough for us adults to climb up and walk upright with them, adults are also able to fit on the slides and we weren't the only ones having a go!! The birds are well cared for and we wandered around slowly, our children enjoyed looking into the exhibits and trying to find the different birds. They absolutely loved the exhibits where the birds were free roaming and flying around our heads. All in all it was a slow paced, relaxed day out enjoyed by all.
Catherine W — Google review
Nice selection of birds, so many pretty varieties that we had never seen before. The parrots and cockatoos were entertaining with their chatter and whistles. There are a couple of walk-through areas where you can get up close to the birds. The main cafe area at the entrance is nice with outdoor seating overlooking the gardens. There is another cafe/kiosk, but this was closed when we visited. They are building a new play area which looks like it's going to be quite large. We spent around 3 hours there slowly walking around. For the kids, there is a dinosaur trail. The car park is large and free. Toilets and baby change areas were clean. There is quite a large gift shop. We had a nice half day wandering around.
Paula — Google review
Larger than expected but very interesting. There are all sorts of birds and plenty to see. For those with children, there are plenty of play bits for them to play and for those without there are benches where you can sit and watch the birds. The park is accessible for wheelchair users. Visually impaired folk will definitely benefit from taking a sighted guide.
Erica ( — Google review
Good place to visit after the upgrade made for kids but could have also added play center for toddler separately. The dinosaurs were good additions. Food-wise need to have more options and for the entry price paid the experience is bit on lower end with the birds. The bird world itself has not been updated fully and they seem old n neglected. Finally the parking facilities are lacking with very small spaces considering most visitors are with toddlers and kids and are of low quality.

I am disabled and cannot walk. Please see the end of the review for the only problem i had. Visited today with my wife daughter and her husband and two granddaughter's. We had a great time loads to see and do the birds are great and well displayed. The granddaughter's loved the play areas. All the staff are great. Helpfull, polite and a credit to bitdworld. on the whole it was easy to get round on a mobility class 3 mobility scooter. I have only one complaint and that there was a problem and that is with the disabled toilets it may not sound much but if you are like me on A Class 3 mobility scooter and cannot walk at all it is impossible sitting on one of those scooters and opening a door towards you. I do wish the people who designed these toilets would actually try to get in there whilst at on a large mobility scooter. It takes away your independence completely when you can't even open the door to get in. To pull a door open and hold it open while you driving is completely impossible. I really really wish that somebody would actually try it to see what I mean. Is bad enough being stuck on one of those things without having to ask a complete stranger to hold the door open for you. Please would one of your staff get hold of one of those scooters and try it.

New park is amazing. The kids loved the activity sheet and the dinosaur trail. Can't wait for the new play barn. Food was fresh and good. Only down side, they do not have a changing table for disabled guests, but we were told we could use the first aid one.

A popular day out for us or even a quick stop after nursery to run off extra energy. We invested in the membership this year and have visited Birdworld very regularly to explore every nook and cranny it has to offer. The bonus features of the dinosaur trail, bird bath and adventure play have been a treat too. There are so many beautiful birds and really helpful information about them to learn and raise awareness of endangered species, as well as regular talks from the team who present it so well. The birds are well looked after and the park is so pretty with greenery, flowers, water features, bird photography and beautiful interactive displays of information. There is lots to do for all ages. The paths are wheelchair and buggy accessible and plenty of loo facilities around the park. Lots of parking space and the check-in process is simple and quick even on busy days. Even when the park is busy it doesn’t feel crowded as there’s lots of space to run around, and benches to sit on.
Jenny B — Google review
Perfect for all. Not too long to walk around (you could probably rush it in half hour) took us a couple of hours to see everything, but there's plenty of extra play areas and games to keep kids entertained. Special experiences like feeding the penguins are extra, but well worth it.

The Sculpture Park

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
Sculpture
Nature & Parks
The Sculpture Park is an outdoor exhibit located in Farnham that offers a unique blend of art and nature. It spans across 10 acres of arboretum and features over 650 sculptures, with meandering footpaths leading visitors through the picturesque wildlife water garden. The exhibits are arranged into four coloured trails, which wind around trees and lakes for approximately 2/3km.
Fabulous experience, great park, give it a bit of time as you've got 3 trails to follow, you'll see sculptures everywhere, non stop, every step you do there is another one, and another one, and so on😊. There is also one path, shorter, for the wheelchair people which they can enjoy also. The cost per adult is £15 but it's worth it, and to visit everything you need 3hrs+. Check pictures and videos, thanks😊. One more thing, I've asked and , apparently, they said that every single sculpture is for sale (not cheap 😁) but it's a great idea, you've got QR code for every single one to find out more details about it / them. There are plenty of cars park around, a pub/restaurant, restrooms as well.
Florin S — Google review
Amazing... It's amazing. So many sculptures set in glorious woods. Very accessible for wheelchair users and plenty to see even though there are areas accessed via steps, it did not feel that the wheelchair user had missed out. Great to be able to take the dog. Great to have full access to QR codes to learn more about the sculptures and their price No food/drink on site, ending the visit with a team /coffee would have made the trip perfect!
Kerr C — Google review
When i started the walk around the park I was a little overwhelmed by the number and various sculptures. However as you get into it the meandering path goes through many hidden spaces revealing the hundreds of works of art there. Some have been there for 23 years since it opened and have blended into the environment whilst others are strikingly new and shiny contrasting with the autumnal tones of the forest. If you want to do this properly and allow some time to watch and think I'd suggest you allow 3 hours but you can see all of it in about 2
Rog E — Google review
An unexpected gem! Loved our Saturday afternoon stroll in this fabulous sculpture park! My camera roll is filled with incredible sculptures - I would have taken home all of them if I could! The only point I would say is that the park is (or feels) larger than it is, so you should probably wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for the 2-mile walk around. The placement of the sculptures is brilliant, too - very enjoyable experience!
Einav A — Google review
Wow there are some lovely sculptures at the park. Some very large and some small but all so incredible none the less. The only negative I have to say is it’s not very pushchair friendly (other than the disabled route) and my 2.5 year old found it a little boring.
Olivia S — Google review
There are many things I love about the Sculpture Park, but most of all, it’s the fact that it is constantly evolving. Every time we visit, there is something new—whether in the layout or the display. One thing that never changes is the warm welcome we receive; we are always greeted with a smile, and the staff make us feel really welcome. The sculptures are a versatile collection—diverse in material, style, and texture. There is something for everyone, beautifully displayed in lovely natural settings. Our most recent visit was for the event Spirit in Stone - celebrating Zimbabwean craftsmanship. Everything was well-organised - with drinks, catering, gentle live music, and lovely, attentive staff. The artworks were stunning and displayed wonderfully. Happy to hear that such events will be organised again, and we will gladly attend again. In the meantime, the park is well worth a visit—an inspiring place to enjoy nature, art, and beauty.

Bluebell Railway, located at Sheffield Park Station, offers a nostalgic experience with its 1880's station and heritage railway line. Visitors can admire steam engines on display, explore the museum, and browse the gift shop. The railway welcomes dogs with special canine tickets to board the old steam trains that run daily from Sheffield Park to East Grinstead. For those seeking a leisurely walk, taking the train to Horsted Keynes and then walking back across the fields is recommended.
A fantastic day out!! Our journey lasted about two hours and we had an amazing fish n chip lunch as part of our package. We travelled through beautiful countryside in a lovingly restored carriage behind a wonderful steam engine. There was lots more to do at Sheffield Park station including a cracking museum, the Steam Works with engines on display and loads of interactive stuff as well as a really good gift and model shop and a pub and coffee shop! A really great day out for all the family!
Giles K — Google review
We had a all day rider from a virgin experience and it was a brilliant day out. Just sit back and imagine yourself in the days gone by when steam locomotives were everywhere. The amount of work that has gone into the restoration of the trains and stations is unbelievable. Everything has been built, designed and styled perfectly. Even the staff were dressed in immaculate period clothing. The trains looked great and sounded great. We went from Sheffield park to east Grinstead and went to town for lunch. On the way back you can get off at all the stations and explore the stations, picnic areas, museums and buildings. Sheffield park seems to be the main one and had a lovely museum. The day is what you make it. If you just want the ride the fine but if you explore a bit further then you will discover so much history. The pulling coaches looked so stylish. Halloween and Xmas events are in the diary.

My Partner treated me to this most amazing birthday surprise. I have to say from the moment we arrived at the Bessemer Arms we were greeted by the staff, who were all dressed in their black & white tuxedo very smart. So friendly, polite, professional & very hard working. Serving Prosecco & Canapés in the pub to begin. Followed by heading outside to the steam train were we took photos. Then it was all aboard & I have to say, I was taken aback by it all the carriages were absolutely stunning, from dark wood, brass coat hooks & handles that's without the most comfortable seats. Dinner was also served by the same staff in the Bessemer Arms. I totally enjoyed our roast beef meal & dessert 5* fine dinning. Not forgetting the train driver of course. However most of all if you are looking for something special for a loved this is it, highly recommend. My partner also booked added extras nice bottle of their own wine, a golden arrow pen & beautiful card.

We did the Fish & Chips Train Ride last night and it was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived at Sheffield Park Station, the atmosphere was full of charm: beautiful vintage carriages, friendly volunteers and the lovely smell of steam in the air. The ride itself was peaceful and scenic, with gorgeous views of the Sussex countryside. The fish and chips were hot, crispy and really hit the spot. We also enjoyed a sweet treat and tea afterwards, all served at our table while the train gently rocked along the tracks. The whole experience felt relaxed, well-organized and really special. A perfect mix of nostalgia, good food and great company. I highly recommend this event for a unique evening out. 🚂🍽️✨

Lovely afternoon steaming through the beautiful countryside and enjoying autumn and its rainbows. Helpful and knowledgeable staff, all volunteers.

Farm
Water & Amusement Parks
Nestled in the picturesque West Sussex countryside, Fishers Farm Park is a haven for families seeking a fun-filled day out. The park offers an array of activities catering to all ages, from horse and tractor rides to adventure playgrounds and animal encounters. Children can expend their energy at the climbing wall, slides, swings, and water attractions while also enjoying soft play areas. Additionally, there are opportunities for feeding and handling animals, pony rides, and even animal racing events.
I only bother to do reviews if it’s worth raving about and this place certainly is! We didn’t actually anticipate how big Fishers Farm was going to be so we didn’t actually manage to do half the activities/ facilities available. We were here for 4 hours and it wasn’t enough! The food outlets are brilliant, the staff are extremely friendly and appear to actually enjoy their job which is rare to see nowadays. All ages can appreciate this farm. If you’re thinking about it, do it! My daughter had the time of her life, as did mum and dad 🙈

Great day out with my 18 month old grandson and family! Lots for him to do and rides to go on. Loved the Barrel Bug Safari! The Splash Pad was a brilliant way to cool down on a hot day. We all enjoyed the Farm Show and Trailer & Tractor ride. All the staff were friendly, cheerful and helpful.

Last Sunday our family of four celebrated here with our 6 year old birthday boy! He was greeted with congratulations and a birthday sticker which he loved. Staff were super friendly all day! They also sung happy birthday to him on stage at the family disco! It was a gorgeously sunny day, fairly quiet considering (perhaps due to end of summer?). The tractor ride was brilliant - the lady was so informative whilst driving us around - told us names, ages and personalities of the animals which was great! Lots included for your ticket price and my son said it was an 'epic day!' Jumping pillows, play castle, tea cups, splash attack, meeting the baby animals.. just so much to see and do. Love that you can pay 2 tokens (£2) for a pony ride.. this was his favourite activity! The park was clean, queues were short, it is well spaced out but does not require huge amounts of walking. Sensory Barn was a calm retreat and the indoor play area were fab with thrilling drop slides! Our 9 year old was pleasantly surprised and loved Skyfall 6m, Climbing Wall, Devils Dyke Descent. Just as lovely as we remember (having not been since he was 3!). We will definitely return, thank you Fishers Farm for our memorable day out! 👏❤️

We visited on 02/11/2025 with our 2 and 4 year old. This farm has been designed with children (and their animals) at the heart and it really does show. We had an amazing day and every corner we turned there was something for us to look at, explore or play. Thank you for a great day. I just also want to highlight the staff, every single member of staff was smiling and eager to help or just have a good chat, especially the lovely harlequin ‘guarding’ the little Halloween scary/sweet walk throughs. The animals are so loved and cared for. We have attend manyyyyy of farms and have never seen such happy animals! I also cannot get over how clean the farm was?!? The soft plays and play village are amazing, the outside areas spotless even the animal enclosures. You all deserve a hugeeeee pat on the back. So fairly priced and we cannot wait to come back and visit.

Had a fabulous day at Fishers with my 6 year old son. He particularly loved Skyfall, the climbing wall, Tropicana wagon run, soft play areas / slides and other rides. There was certainly enough to keep him entertained for a full day.

It is amazing to see how the park has changed and improved over 35 years! We will return again.

Always a great day out at Fishers Farm. We travel from Wiltshire to meet friends half way. I’m happy to see some investment has been made to the park. The new entrance building with the gift shop is lovely. The woodland forest has been completely re done (photos attached). We are excited to try the ringos ramp when it’s finished next time we come as that was still being worked on. We especially loved the new baby sensory area inside. Thanks all for a l other great visit, see you again soon!

We had a great time at Fishers Farm Adventure Park — it’s a brilliant day out with lots to do and really well suited for younger children. The activities, rides, and play areas are perfect for under 12s, and my preschooler absolutely loved it. That said, it’s not ideal for teens, as there isn’t much to keep older kids entertained for long. Also, the pricing felt a bit unfair — my preschooler had to pay the same price as an adult, which was the only real downside of the visit. Other than that, it was a lovely day, the park is well maintained, and we’d definitely go again!

Visited Fishers Farm Park today with my 17 month old for the first time and wow what an amazing place. I have to say it's in my top 5 of places to go with children. Staff are so friendly and really good with the children, animals are well cared for and looked after and had lovely homes. There is so much to do there for children. So many play areas, rides (most are free), slides, sensory rooms, places to run, places to bounce and places to roam free! We had such a good day here. Food and drink is reasonably priced. Lots of areas to sit and have lunch too! Spent the whole day here and had such a great time! 10000% worth a visit!

Drusillas Park in Alfriston, just off the A27, offers a fantastic family experience with a variety of attractions for visitors of all ages. The park features a zoo with animals like camels, red pandas, alpacas, otters, sloths, meerkats and snakes. There are interactive displays and feeding times to engage with the animals.
I would definitely recommend this place. It’s an ideal spot for children — with a variety of animals, a playground, and water fun, it’s a complete package! Although the price might feel a bit high for people like me, it’s still a great place to spend the whole day enjoying with your family and kids. It would be even better if the ticket price were a little lower.

From the Zoo, the theme park, or the large play area which is split between over and under 5s, there is plenty to do for all the family. And don't worry if you get tired because you can relax in there many restuarant/cafe areas. A great day for all and we cannot wait to return in the near future!

Went on a group home education booking, which made it affordable. Spent about 5 hours here with 4 children ranging from 3-12yrs and they all had a fantastic time. This was in spite of the fact it was pouring when we got there. There are things to do when its raining, which was a relief. The time spent in the Discovery room was excellent, the leader was brilliant with the children.

Had a great time at Drusillas when we went with the whole family. There is so much to do there with the zoo, rides and the play park. Food is reasonably priced but you can always bring a picnic (I still recommend getting their donuts!). They do have a water area so you can bring some swimming clothes and go play in the water park. The rides aren’t Alton Towers or Thorpe Park type rides but perfect for the little ones.
Kevin J — Google review
EXCELLENT day out!!! Perfect for our 5 year old, animals, dinosaurs, rides, play areas, splash zone, soft play... What more could you want! It had a great balance of everything, an excellent and reasonably priced gift shop, lots of picnic areas / benches. We were there the whole day 10am - 6pm and could have been longer, very tempted to buy an annual pass even though we live an hour away. Great day out!

👉 Great fun for little ones up to 12 years old, in my opinion. It’s a nice and tidy park. I visited years ago, back when Thomas the Tank Engine was the main attraction.
Tom P — Google review
Buy your tickets online the night before and then you are set for a good family day out. The zoo has plenty of scope and then you reach the play park. For the very young spend an extra £3 to visit Spark playground. Otherwise there's soft play, a water park or climbing frames. The train and most rides are free. We took our own food to keep the cost down.

The park provides a mix of bustling areas and quieter spots to enjoy the breathtaking seascapes and changing landscapes.
Amazing day doing a gentle hike to this wonderful site!! Got told about this from my cousin from the US, yet I'm from London and didn't know about this. The wild ponies are a real treat. The pebble beach, the cliffs and reservoirs are beautiful. Wear good footwear the pebbles are intense. Allow 2 to 4 hours to get the most and check the forecast for the tide so you can time it to be safe enough to walk around the cliffs from the beach. Else it will not be safe enough to do this. If you can visit the Littleton Tea House nearby and do a coastal drive to Brighton. Great day out I will never forget

Situated adjacent to the English Channel, the Seven Sisters is a wonderful preservation of natural landscape on background of rich history. Getting off at Eastbourne station, we hopped on coaster bus 12X that brought us next to the entrance of the country park. The walkway is lovely with naturally carved pathways through field, grass and hills. It took us around 30 mins to reach the beach area beside the cliffs. There is a lovely hiking trail which we climbed to reach the peak of the cliff. The view from the cliff is astounding and something to cherish. Would advise to come early to spend more time wandering around, climbing the cliffs and enjoy the day. 😍😍

Seven Sisters is absolutely breathtaking one of the most beautiful natural spots I’ve visited in the UK. Getting there was pretty straightforward: I took the overground from Victoria to Eastbourne, then hopped on a bus. Travel cost came to around £45 for one person. Eastbourne itself has plenty of restaurants, so it’s a good idea to eat there before heading out – there aren’t really any shops or places to grab food once you reach Seven Sisters. But that’s part of the charm; it feels untouched and purely nature’s creation. The white cliffs and the views are just stunning, well worth the trip. Highly recommend if you want a peaceful escape with incredible scenery!

It’s a MUST go but didn’t get to see much of the white cliffs on the path directly across from the Visitor Center. Great coffee at the visitor center Grab & Go. There’s a beach at the end of the 3/4 mile path. NO SERVICES OF ANY KIND. Recommend to rent a bike. It’s enormous! Saw sheep, ponies, and a variety of birds. Wish they had boat or helicopter tours.

Fantastic place to visit. Great walks down to the sea, woodland walks, visitors centre, cafe and car parks. Perfect for birdwatching along the waterways with waders and an assortment of other birds both native and migrants. Can get very busy though.

Great walking experience. Easy parking, though you need to pay. Be aware of fake QR code sticker's on the payment machine. I use the payment app too be safe. There's a regular bus service between Eastbourne and Brighton which stops along various points of the seven sisters walk and Nd the the walk to Newhaven. So it's very easy to catch a bus back to your car.

Great hike and nature, but start early as it could take longer than expected. If you’re planning to walk from Seaford to Eastbourne, a river before the cliffs means you may need to detour inland to cross the water.

It is picturesque place and has decent amount of tourist which means not overly crowded. Only challenge is toilets, it was closed and many tourist wanted to use the facility. I still remember a elderly chinese lady looks extremely worried when she was inquiring about the direction for toilets.

Royal Pavilion

Mentioned on 
+155 other lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Royal Pavilion in Brighton is a unique and distinctive palace built for King George IV, featuring an Asian-style architecture that resembles the Taj Mahal. Constructed in three stages starting from 1787, this former royal residence boasts restored rooms such as the Banqueting Room, The Saloon, and The Great Kitchen. Surrounded by Pavilion Gardens, it has been well-maintained over the years and is a popular filming location for various movies.
So wonderfully over the top, I particularly enjoyed the Colour exhibition which offered a fascinating insight into the use and development of colour. Not my first visit, but there's always something new to see. Highly recommended. The gift shop is a mine of must have books and decorative items. I love the plate I bought.
Claire — Google review
Quite the amazing experience and not what I expected. We are not royal followers but loved this place. Indian style architecture on the exterior with much more east asian influenced art on the interior. Gorgeous interiors with so much detail, the opulence of it all astounded us and made us sad at the same time. Amazingly well restored to its original state. Even the behind the scenes like the kitchen were impressive. Spent about 45 minutes. National Art Pass had free admission included.

My dear, one simply must experience the Royal Pavilion. It is, to put it mildly, a magnificent and rather scandalous confection of a building, a triumph of architectural audacity over good sense. One feels that King George IV, in a fit of sublime madness, decided to erect a palace that was less a home and more a spectacular, and slightly over-decorated, opium dream. To call it 'Indian' in style is to show a charming ignorance of geography. It is, rather, a whimsical and theatrical interpretation of the Orient, as imagined by a man with too much money and an insatiable desire for novelty. The onion domes and minarets are quite a spectacle, and one is inclined to applaud the sheer chutzpah of it all. Inside, the effect is even more pronounced. The Banqueting Room is a riot of dragons, lotuses, and gilded bamboo, a testament to the belief that more is always, in fact, more. One can almost see the Prince Regent, draped in silks, holding court amongst such exquisite vulgarity. It is a place of delightful excess, a monument to a time when taste was a matter of flamboyant display rather than dreary restraint. To visit is to be reminded that the truly interesting life is one lived in glorious and unashamed extravagance.

Please don’t miss this jewel in Brighton!!! Only palace in UK NOT PART OF THE crown! Worth every pence!!! Ornate Maximus! Indian style architecture with oriental decor inside… very varied history… friendly staff … The gem of Brighton!! Full of surprises! Main floor toilet could have been cleaner!
Alba G — Google review
This royal palace is well worth a visit! It's Eastern decor and interior bring it to life. Geometric wallpaper, patterned carpets and luxury bedrooms, you'll find them all! Can be slightly expensive but worth the money. Your visit will take between an hour and two depending how much you want to read.

We visited the Royal Pavilion yesterday and had a wonderful experience. We bought tickets that are valid for a full year, and one of them was a local ticket with a discount of about five pounds. We were also offered a QR code for the audio guide for two pounds. The audio guide did not load on one phone, so the staff kindly provided a device with the audio guide free of charge. The service was attentive and very helpful. There is a beautiful themed exhibition dedicated to Jane Austen, and the entire place is filled with a magical Christmas atmosphere. Everything was charming and truly enjoyable. The Royal Pavilion is an absolute delight to visit.

The beautiful Royal Pavillion is well worth a visit. Luxury luxury luxury. King George certainly liked the spectacular. It is all very well presented and is stunning I particularly liked the kitchen - have a good look round to spot interesting fun items. It takes 2-3 hours but, unlike many stately homes/palaces, there are a few places where you can sit a while to take in the stunning architecture and decor. Great value for money. Thank you to everyone responsible for maintaining this magnificent piece of history in sunny Brighton.

First visit in many years and it all seemed 'new'. A museum guide gave an excellent commentary as we entered and later in the dining room. It's a grossly overdone interior and fascinating to learn about. Brilliant gift shop too.

When visiting Brighton, a trip to SEA LIFE Brighton is a must for families. As the world's oldest functioning aquarium, it boasts over 5,000 diverse species of sea creatures in various shapes, sizes, and colors. The aquarium offers family-friendly exhibits with play areas and group packages. Visitors can take a tour through an underwater tunnel to come face to face with sharks and stingrays while learning about these fascinating creatures.
I really enjoyed my visit to Sea Life Brighton. The aquarium is beautifully designed, with a fascinating variety of marine life to see. The ocean tunnel was especially impressive – walking through and watching the fish and turtles swim overhead was magical. It’s a great place for families and anyone interested in sea creatures. The only thing is that the visit felt a bit short, but overall it was a fun and memorable experience.

Brighton Sea Life is the world’s oldest aquarium, opened in 1872, and sits right by the beach. Inside, you can see thousands of sea creatures like sharks, turtles, rays, and seahorses. The building itself is special too, with beautiful Victorian-style architecture that makes it feel different from other aquariums. Visitors can walk through tunnels and watch fish and other animals swim all around them. One of the best parts is the glass-bottom boat ride, where you can look down and see sharks and fish below. There are also fun and educational zones that teach about the ocean and how to protect sea life. With colourful coral reefs, rainforest animals, and plenty of interactive displays, Brighton Sea Life is a great place for families and anyone who loves the ocean. We really enjoy sea life attractions , and Sea Life Brighton didnt disappoint

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SEA LIFE Brighton An amazing place to visit — beautifully maintained and full of fascinating marine life. The aquarium layout is perfect for families, especially with kids, and the underwater glass tunnel gives a stunning close-up view of sharks, turtles, and colorful fish. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to share interesting facts. Everything is well-organized, clean, and easy to navigate. Definitely worth the visit — both fun and educational. A must-see attraction in Brighton!

A wonderful great experience and especially as it's the oldest aquarium in the world. I even have a jungle part but I didn't like the spiders 😱🕷️🕷️ Lots of different tropical fish and sharks and you can even see the sharks get fed at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. They have a VR experience where you can swim with a shark's. I wouldn't recommend buying tickets in advance at the tickets cost for same as if you buy them on the door. Thank you for having us 👍🏻😊

Overall I enjoyed my experience, however the aquarium was far smaller than I expected. There was an interesting array of animals and they all seemed well cared for. I think the price was a little steep for the size, but I don’t regret visiting.

Nice to walk around and enjoy the sea view, but the visit is quite short. The pier is mostly filled with attractions, arcade games, and lots of food stalls (churros, donuts, etc.), so not much else to really do. Still, it’s a beautiful spot and worth seeing for the view over the sea and the coastline.

Brighton Beach is a lively seaside spot full of energy and charm. The pebble shore, colorful promenade, and iconic pier make it a fun place to relax, eat, and explore. It can get crowded in summer, but the atmosphere is always vibrant.

Always worth a visit. Especially with kids. Nothing amazing or groundbreaking but perfect for a couple of hours. Playing the 2pence machines is fun and cheap. The waterslide and some other fares, a 🍦 to round it off, what more do you want!

Brighton Pier is such an iconic place to visit. £2 entry to the pier. Lots to see, do, eat and experience. A trip back in time with rides, amusement games, soft serve ice creams, fish and chips, and lovely ocean views. You do need to purchase separate tickets for the rides. Go as an adult and feel like a kid again.
Nicola P — Google review
Brighton Pier holds a very sentimental place in my heart because it reminds me of being a child on holiday. Charging to enter the pier is not good, though I do see to maintain it, the money has to come from somewhere. Of course. From the council would be better. I love the food stalls, independent shops, rides, bars and cafes. Especially Horatio’s and Sunset bar. I’d like to see more about the history of the pier and how the money is used to maintain it. Plus, I always thought the mirrors were scratched but they are little birds!
Darren S — Google review
Absolutely lovely place to visit. Great vibe, a lot of people during summer season, a lot of things to do for everyone, no matter of the age. Funfairs, bars, restaurants, souvenir shop and other nice places to visit. You can rent a chair for £5 or sub bed for £10 for the whole day, collector is walking around. Also, pls bring flip flops as it’s very hard to walk on stones.
Jelena — Google review
Brighton Palace Pier is the heart of the city’s seaside charm. A lovely place to stroll along the beach, enjoy the sea breeze, and take in the views — even when the waves are a little wild. The pier is full of fun attractions and games, perfect for families, couples, or friends. At night, the lights create a magical atmosphere that makes it a must-see when visiting Brighton.

The English Martyrs Catholic Church in Goring-by-Sea may appear unremarkable on the outside, but it houses an extraordinary treasure within. Inside, visitors can feast their eyes on a remarkable reproduction of Michelangelo's iconic Sistine Chapel Ceiling. The replica is scaled down to two-thirds its original size and boasts colors that mirror the recently cleaned ceiling in Rome. Additionally, the church features an enchanting array of stained glass windows that fill the interior with abundant light.
A lovely church of modern design, friendly and amazing designs, and the famous painting of the Michelangelo Sistine Chapel ceiling by a local artist. The Goring-by-sea ceiling was painted in the 1980s by a parishioner Gary Bevans after he returned from a pilgrimage to Rome with the church's priest.
Derek R — Google review
Unique experience the only true copy of the Sistine chapel at 2/3 size outside of Italy. Took one man 5 years to complete by himself as opposed to Michelangelo and his team spending 4 and 1/2 years for the real thing. It really is amazing to see if you can go early late morning early afternoon. There's often a docent who will tell you a story about the ceiling. Donations are welcome. Best to call ahead in case there is a service or a funeral, in which case you won't be able to go in. Truly amazing! Recommended.
