HMS Belfast
· Permanently moored near Tower Bridge, this ship was a World War II cruiser in the
Royal Navy.
· Armed with six torpedoes, and six inch guns with a range of over fourteen miles, the
Belfast spent over two years of the war in the Royal Navy shipyards.
· Decommissioned after the Korean War, it is now an outpost of the Imperial War
Museum. You can see it for yourself what it was like working in the airlocked
BoilerRoom or scrambling up and down various ladders.
Eltham Palace
· Eltham Palace is the only English Art Deco house open to the public.
· Initially a moated manor house bought by Edward II in 1305, additions such as the
impressive hammerbeam-roofed Great Hall in the 1470s created one of England's
largest palaces for a succession of royals. Most famously, Henry VIII grew up here.
