Fantastic 5.0
I didn't expect it to be small inside, but it's definitely worth seeing and has a lot to offer. Admission is free for those under 17, and there are plenty of activities for young children. Older children will also find a lot to explore, and adults can enjoy a wealth of information. You can easily spend an hour and a half inside. Outside is Covent Garden, with lots to see and eat, making it a great spot to visit together.

It's okay. There was a queue but it moves fast. A nice way to spend the afternoon in an air-conditioned environment especially during hot summers in London.

The sightseeing plus lunch was deffo recommended didnt have high expectation for this excursion hut i was amazed mostly bcos i think they let me sit with the best view till i complained that they put me on a seat near where you can feel the engine. But the service, staff, views , commentary guide was 10/10 . Theres starter, main course and dessert everything taste so good

A meaningful trip with supportive tour guides and stadium staff who are also friendly and flexible. It was truly meaningful to be able to stand on the pitch and stay close to the official location where matches take place.

it was a great experience. but maybe should go for the later session at 9.30pm for more stunning views. 7.30pm is still very bright in London. but overall ok.

It's so convenient to buy and use immediately! Buying Saturday tickets on Klook was cheaper than buying them on-site. I participated in a 30-minute guided tour, and London Expert Zia explained the history of each bridge in detail, which was very interesting! You definitely have to check out the restrooms!
