HMS Belfast - London

 HMS Belfast 

Date : July | Location London | Delmoished  - NO 

I can’t say enough about HMS Belfast—WOW, this ship was incredible! We spent about three to four hours exploring almost every area that was open to the public. Even when it got busy, there was still plenty of space to enjoy. This ship has so much to offer! The little café on board is nice too, although it’s a bit on the expensive side (but this is London, after all). Overall, the experience on this ship was amazing, and I definitely want to go back when I get the chance.

HMS Belfast was built in 1936 and set sail in 1938. It served for around 25 years before retiring in 1963. It was then acquired by the Imperial War Museum and opened to the public as a museum in 1971.

Wellington Arch - london

 Wellington Arch 

Date July | Location - London | Delmoihed - No 

Every time I'm in London, I've passed this building without realizing you could go inside. When I discovered it was managed by English Heritage, I took the chance to go in. My daughter and I decided to check it out while we were in London. The only downside was that it was raining, but that's British weather for you! 

 

Overall, we didn't spend much time inside, as my daughter was primarily interested in getting her pop badge and stamp for her lanyard. However, there was a pretty cool view from the top.

 

I learned that the arch is one of London's well-known landmarks. It was built between 1825 and 1826 and was originally meant to be an entrance to Buckingham Palace, but it was moved to its current location afterward. The building is also a Grade I listed structure.

Apsley House - London

 Apsley House 

Date July | Location London | demolished No 

During our day in London, we decided to explore some English Heritage sites that we hadn’t yet visited after checking out HMS Belfast. Apsley House was charming, but it wasn’t really my taste. My daughter, on the other hand, wasn't too interested in the house; she was more focused on collecting stamps from a specific number of sites to earn her badge. Apsley House was the first home of the Duke of Wellington and was remodeled between 1819 and 1829. It houses over 1,000 paintings, sculptures, and other artworks, and it is also a Grade I listed building.

We were in London for the day and thought we would check out some of the English Heritage sites we hadn't explored yet after visiting HMS Belfast. Apsley House was cute, but it wasn't really my style. My daughter was definitely not interested; she was more focused on collecting stamps from a set number of sites to earn her badge.
