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
- Jim865 contributionsThe National Gallery is on show free of charge, though it is advisable to book a timeslot in advance.
The Gallery boosts a quality collection of western paintings. You can easily spend a full day there admire the great work of the masters.Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Staff lovely & helpful, great cafe & shop. Well worth a visitWritten 12 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheFarHorizonSydney, Australia60 contributionsThis was my first visit since its renovation in 2021. As expected the newly revamped rooms are exquisite, affording both a harmonious backdrop to the art and full recognition to the stunning interiors.
It is a small museum consisting of a number of substantial bequests and an ongoing acquisitions programme with further bequests incorporated over time. It is particularly strong in impressionist art, but Italian primitives, renaissance, English and Byzantine art are all represented with works of an exceptional standard.
The museum is not on the main tourist track (although it's an easy walk from the National Gallery) so it is not overcrowded, which allows viewing at a leisurely pace without constant interruption. Do walk through to the courtyard of Somerset House to view the exterior of the beautiful building.

Literally imagine anything you like and they probably have a lego set for it! Great staff really well controlled to make sure it wasn't over crowded and very reasonably priced sets! I would recommend its worth the wait to get in!Written 1 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wendy L68 contributionsSomerset house was lovely but the hello kitty cafe wasn't worth the two hour Wait we were very disappointed. Wood benches could of put pink cloths on. Two cakes and brownies to choose From was expecting cup cakes with hello kitty on. Hardly anything to buy to take home and only allowed in for twenty minutesWritten 3 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LaylakatieDevon, UK345 contributionsThe most hilarious show I’ve ever watched and SO well out together. The whole cast are SO incredibly talented and it is such an enjoyable experience. So nice to go to a show and be completely mesmerised by it and to laugh all the way through. Do not go if you’re easily offended but definitely go if you want to have a good laugh and watch some comedy!Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- I visited this place🇫🇷🇺🇸🇬🇷🇨đź‡đź‡¬đź‡§Israel35,134 contributionsPROS
* Impressive majestic column and statue, surrounded by other historical remembrances
* The central point of Trafalgar Square
CONS
* It is too tall so it is difficult to admire the sculpture of the statue
* It attracts pigeon birds
* It is crowded with tourists
“I VISITED THIS PLACE”…
… on my way to the outstanding National Gallery.
I admired the column, looked up at the statue, studying the lion sculptures and plaques and photographed the tourists also.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
It is free
WOULD “I VISIT THIS PLACE” AGAIN?
Sure – and again, on my way to my next visit of the National Gallery.
ADVICE
* It is important to visit and see this important national and historical monument
* Beware of crowds and birds

- danny jBristol, UK16 contributionsCrowded even at 9pm but still likely one of the better Ice Skating setups in London. The setting in front of the lit-up Battersea power station is very nice. Plenty of bars nearby.Written 22 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- therichastillStevenage, UK3,237 contributionsVictoria Embankment is on the North side of the River Thames. It stretches from Blackfriars to Westminster and the Houses of Parliament.
You can cycle, drive or walk and there are separate cariageways for each of these methods of transport.
I would recommend walking along the embankment as you will get to see so much more. You can take in the various monuments, statues and little details compared to if you whizz past. For example check out the ornate benches and what makes up the bases of them.
In addition there is glorious scenery to enjoy like the South Bank, the Eye and the former County Hall.
Highly recommended.Written 4 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Ronnie502014Spalding, UK56 contributionsI went on a birthday package with my son the staff were lovely,very organised !
We had booked an afternoon package with a massage .
The massage was very good and relaxing .
The spa could feel a little claustrophobic, as dark and hot .. but I’m guessing that’s the vibe, water is readily available to drink .
The pools are beautiful and cater for all requirements. So well worth a visit .. I will say my relaxing package turned into a gladiator package as I slipped down a plunge pool ladder and after a relaxing experience, I’m now black and blue.
But don’t let that put you off, just take extra care as floors and steps are slippery .Written 24 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
