HMS Belfast

HMS Belfast was built in 1938, taken out of battle service with the Royal Navy in 1965, and opened as a museum in 1971 as a unique reminder of Britain's naval heritage. HMS Belfast has nine decks of living history to explore.

HMS Belfast is the largest surviving example of Britain's twentieth century naval power and is moored on the Thames between Tower Bridge and London Bridge. She was the first ship to be saved for the nation since Nelson's HMS Victory due to her historical importance.

HMS Belfast is run by the Imperial War Museum London and is free for all children under 16.
