    An informative and engaging museum to explore the history of modern imperial war

    The Imperial War Museum is located in the beautiful Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park and offers free entry. It features a rich collection of exhibits and engaging interactive designs that provide in-depth insights into the two World Wars and themed exhibitions. Overall, the museum offers a fairly comprehensive accessible experience, though some aspects of the design could benefit from improved continuity.

    Deeply disappointing, IWM London need to do much better for their disabled visitors

    The Imperial War Museum London tells the stories of every day people's experiences of war and conflict. There are permanent galleries as well as temporary exhibitions. It's an important collection, powerful, thought provoking and sometimes deeply upsetting subject matter. We went to see the Refugees Forced to Flee exhibition which is due to close 13/06/2021. In 2020, a changing places toilet was opened in the museum and my review is focusing on that and general covid precautions. Overall the museum has very good access. I regret to say I was deeply disappointed and upset with some aspects of their disabled access when I visited and I have submitted a complaint, which I will put a copy of in Additional Information section. Also we did not feel covid confident.

    Very good!

    Good access, entrance ramp not too steep, plenty of spacious lifts, easy to move round for the most part.
