Fantastic 5.0
well-conceived and presented experience of walk-through exhibition of Beatles’ history, artifacts, photos, videos, and tableaux. highest recommendation. Best gift shop, too. we had first gone to the Liverpool Beatles Museum; while worth the trip for a die-hard fan, if you only have time for one Beatles Museum definitely do this one. allow at least 90-minutes plus gift shop time.

Fantastic 5.0
The observatory is located on a hill and was easy to find, so I had no trouble getting there. Entry with the barcode was smooth, and perhaps because it was a weekday, there were fewer people than I expected, allowing me to explore quietly and at my own pace. There are many exhibits, so I recommend allocating plenty of time. I learned a lot from the interesting displays and had a fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

Great experience with many things to see. Recommend to join the Yeoman Warder Tour. I also enjoyed the Crown Jewels Exhibition. One of the best paid tourist attractions in London if you're into history.

Although advance reservations are required, you only need to confirm the date. They didn't check the time on the tickets at the entrance. I went during the summer, and it wasn't so crowded that I couldn't move. Plus, the Marine Museum has air conditioning.

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!

The Uber Boat itself is a fast mode of transportation, and it's also a great opportunity to see various attractions along the river. I used it from Greenwich Pier to Millwall Pier, and the price was reasonable.

The view was beautiful, the breakfast was a bit less impressive and not as well organized. But it was still a lovely memory and experience.
