What travellers are saying
- James M1 contributionInteresting place. Lots of information all around so you can get a little history from Londons old past. Lots of characterWritten 23 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cameron BWilmslow, UK254 contributionsSo much history and beautiful Gothic architecture
Truly a must see for anyone in London tourist or not
The steep entry fee is a bit of a tourist trap but goes towards the expensive upkeep
Well worth visiting for anyone
Museum upstairs also very coolWritten 25 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We opted for a guided tour which was with Nick, who had fantastic knowledge and also a clever wit so made the trip even better.
We were given headsets linked to his microphone, and despite being very busy and other tours going on around us, we were able to focus on his expertise.Written 1 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carmen L4 contributionsPerfect for a year 7 boy who studies Shakespeare in school or for children interested in history. Fantastic reenacting of sword fighting scenes. Lots of information and humour.Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- FromfarandwideHastings, UK52 contributionsFirst time At the Royal Albert Hall for a gig and from the first moment until I left I was struck by how friendly and helpful the staff were.
We love live music and have been to many venues in the UK and abroad - this really is the best from my perspective.
The acoustics, facilities and, most of all, the staff make this stand out from the rest.Written 13 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

* A very busy and famous international train station
* It is the terminus of world-famous international EuroStar and also of other high speed railway lines
* It is very busy and very crowded- apparently always
* It has a most interesting and iconic world-famous 19th century architecture inside and outside
* There are modern 21st century stores shops restaurants and lighting inside
* There are many public benches for the totally exhausted
* There are two classic wrought iron statues about people traveling
* There is a food and adequate, visible and active police and security presence
* This station is centrally located and next to the British Library and within walking distance to the British Museum
* It is adjacent to Kings Cross station and very near Euston station
CONS
* It is always crowded and busy with people running in all different directions- unless they are exhausted and sprawling on the benches
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... because I took the EuroStar from London to Amsterdam.
I arrived at 0500 and briefly walked though the not crowded 0500H place- there were even then a good number of people there..
Processing the massive crowds registering for the Eurostar trains was good and efficient
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
It is free to visit but traveling on a train costs money
WOULD "I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
Sure, since this is the way to travel between London and the continent,
ADVICES
* "Visit" here if you need this international railway terminal
* "Visit" here if you want to see the world famous architectureWritten 10 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So much more to see in the surrounding area as well.Written 2 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- quiller003Shrewsbury, UK293 contributionsThis building has many memories for me. When I was a child, the train from my home into London would take us past here; we could see boats bringing coal to the jetty, being unloaded by cranes. Later I saw it standing empty and becoming derelict. Now it has a new lease of life as a shopping/ entertainment and living area. You can visit for free and just admire the building and how it has been given a new lease of life; you can also pay to take the lift up one of the chimneys - the view from the top is certainly worth it. There is also a guided tour, which I haven't had chance to do yet, but would like to do at some timeWritten 11 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nigel BostockLondon, UK288 contributionsGreat view as expected but they could do more to help visitors but having boards pointing out the main sights and perhaps telescopes. They do an amusing talk about the Shard on the upper level but there is nothing to tell you when they are doing this, we just came across it in progress.Written 28 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah J35 contributionsWhat a wonderful venue for a classical concert .. Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.. such talented musicians ! Big, big shout out to Wendy the supervisor in the crypt cafe who went out of her way to help me find my phone when I got into a state . She was so kind and caring and a real great ambassador for the church .Written 28 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Harvey D3 contributionsMyself and 3 others visted Freemasons Hall for a Meeting on Saturday, alongwith a Guided Tour earlier in the day. Upon arriving, having not been there before, we were greated at the front desk by John and Santiago, both part of the Security Team, who couldn't do enough for us. They not only took the time to have a chat, but also showed us exactly where we had to go, nothing was too much trouble.
The tour was extremely informative, and was enjoyed by Masons and Non-Masons. By far the highlight of our trip to London was the tour guide opening the doors into the Grand Temple, just standing there in complete amazement, the whole tour was speechless. A must visit in my opinion, highly recommended!Written 10 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would focus on an exhibit you want to see then go - the permanent collection is good but only about 5 rooms. I am a fan of Monet so I found the exhibit worth it and well curated.Written 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sanju_222323New Jersey17,948 contributionsThe Gherkin as it is popularly known, is one of London’s most well-known skyscrapers. Cool as a cucumber and uniquely shaped.
it has earned itself a coveted place in the hearts of Londoners and among the enduring icons of Buckingham Palace, The London Eye, St Paul’s, and Big Ben as one of London’s great buildings
its actual name is the name of the street where it is: 30 St Mary Axe. It’s in the financial heart of London known as the City Of London. It was opened in 2004 and it’s 180m tall. It’s not the tallest building in London but it’s definitely one of the most interesting ones.Written 6 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
