Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- TzmacBradford, UK16 contributionsWe visited the stadium for my 13yo sons birthday treat,( he’s a huge arsenal fan from Bradford ) managed to get tickets for the friendly game on the Wednesday and did the stadium tour on the Thursday.
The tour was fantastic. Very well organised and very easy to work your way round. The self guided part with the ear piece and tablet I thought was a great way of doing the tour. You could go at your own pace and did not feel rushed.
I loved the museum at the end. So much history which was very interesting. I particularly liked the section on the old Highbury ground.
I must stress the bit that made my visit, both on match day and on the stadium tour was the staff at the football club! From the bar staff, to the people on the tour. They all went above and beyond to make your visit a great one.Written 7 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Every steward, the seats, everything was supportive of invisible illness.Written 21 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- josh d1 contributionAn amazing room with well put together clues and awesome set design, as well as this out game host/ mission control Rowen made the entire experience with her brilliant storytelling and energy immersing us in the story all the more as well as being very funny.

- 012SLondon, UK6 contributionsThe talented cast delivered a fantastic performance in the story of Wing Chun and Master Yip. However, the subtitles displayed on the screen were difficult to read, even for someone like me who wears glasses. The cast's performance was absolutely stunning, faultless, and flawless. However, the numbering of the scenes and the brief explanations, accompanied by subtitles on small screens, added very little to the overall performance.Written 6 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CaitellaLeeds, UK18 contributionsFantastic interactive treasure hunt in central London. We enjoyed solving the clues and interacting with shop assistants/bar people. It took us around 3 hours because we had a drink in a couple of the places along the route. The quality of the props used was surprisingly very high. We laughed a lot and when we’re next in London, we’ll do another game.Written 16 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sheepygoldlondon5,426 contributionsI walked along the East and through the South side of the park picking up a reasonably priced cup of tea at the Park View cafe which I drunk on one of the numerous benches. The park is very green with lovely mature treesWritten 23 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rickey Y44 contributionsI stopped by here on my way to Borough Market one day. As a Methodist, I wanted to get a better insight to John Wesley and Methodism as a whole.
The church and museum are incredibly easy to find a short walk from several tube stations.
Once onsite the house is the the right and the church is directly in front with a museum in front of you. I found the church to be absolutely gorgeous on the inside and popped down into the museum/shop for some small items.
I do wish I saw more staff around. The only people I encountered were to pay in the shop. I had wanted to see inside Wesley House and get a little more information, but it didn't seem to be in the cards for me on this particular day.
Definitely worth the stop in for any Methodist or theologian.Written 11 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots of lovely restaurants and bars. It’s quite busy on weekends and Thursday. The place has a lovely vibe with lots of options for dinning.
Best to make a reservation at your favourite restaurant as it gets super busy or be happy to explore and find a new place. Most places I have tried have not let us down!Written 25 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Its not so much a tourist place but i love the atmosphere there, its kind of laid back and have a certain old world charm yet there are many trendy places to explore.Written 12 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Amazing line up of acts, including fresh newcomers and seasoned professionals, all of whom were brilliantly funny. My main reason for going was to see what the night was like ahead of performing a five minute slot my self this Thursday and I was gleefully whisked away by the ambience of the evening. I can't believe it's free and I would definitely go again recommending to anyone who enjoys good vibes, funny stand up and an all round elegant night out.Written 13 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peter RDartford, UK1,304 contributionsHave been meaning to visit the museum for a while. The ladies on the front desk were so friendly and the museum is historically well laid out. I learnt a lot about the history of the of the order from its inception in the 11th century to the 18th century and then on to the creation of the St Johns ambulance organisation in the 19th century. As well as many artifacts there are a number of videos which lead you through the history of it all. Well worth a visit and it is free.Written 31 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BluebellplasnewyddCardiff, UK2,043 contributionsThis is a small tourist market with stalls and shops. It is fun but probably best visited as part of a trip to Regent’s Canal. There are some expensive food and meat shops as well as plenty of cafes. The antique shops, for which it was previously well known, are diminishing in number and don’t expect any bargains.Written 26 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Deanosaur89Edmonton, Canada8,617 contributionsMost of the stalls sell street food with international offerings and it was quite reasonable compared to other large markets of London. Their hours are about 11:30 am to 2:30 pm on weekdays only. We enjoyed the street art of the area and we had a good meal at Mola Cafe on the north end for breakfast and tea.Written 5 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Abbey L1 contributionWe went as a group of 6 friends, only one of us had done an escape room before so we were intrigued to see how well we'd do! Lea was fantastic and made sure we were comfortable. It was really enjoyable and well thought out - safe to say we didn't beat any records but it was so fun. Would come back again, thank you Lea for being so lovely 😊Written 14 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
