HMS Belfast: Explore the historic WWII ship on the banks of the Thames

As the only surviving vessel to have seen active service during the Second World War, HMS Belfast is a landmark and iconic site on the banks of the River Thames. The ship also saw service during the Korean War and was used by the British Navy throughout the 1960s. Now, it forms part of London's Imperial War Museum and is the first ship to be preserved in the UK since Nelson's Victory, which is docked in Portsmouth. HMS Belfast faced destruction in 1971, but now visitors flock to learn about Britain's naval history and explore the insides of a cruiser. From the deck you can also get a great view of the blue steel struts of Tower Bridge, while more British war history can be found south of the river at the Imperial War Museum, appropriately near Waterloo Station. Meanwhile, you can have a great day out along the South Bank. Heading towards Westminster, you'll find Shakespeare's Globe, Tate Modern, the London Eye and the London Aquarium, not to mention plenty of bars and restaurants to stop in at along the way.
