What visitors say
It’s an ok attraction albeit a very recognizable one because it’s been in that spot for decades and it’s impossible to miss while walking the south bank. Kids have good fun in the museum since they have some interactive experiences like feeding the cannon balls. Worth mentioning this is not the real ship but a replica.

Awesome ship. So fun to tour, creep and crawl around in it. Loved seeing so many cannons. The freedom to just explore the different decks was cool. Not a huge ship, but that just makes it more amazing to imagine it sailing around the world.

Experience, imagine what it would be like to travel with pirate turned captain drake who circum navigated the world in this relatuvely smal saill shop. This is a replica built exactly like the original and it has sailed over 100,000 km visiting various ports of the world. One of the least expensive sites in London! Have a beer at the adjacent historic pub. And enjoy the view of London across the thames.

Had a brilliant time on this ship! Strongly recommend showing up in time for the tour. Patrick was amazing, so darn funny and so knowledgeable that even my pirate-obsessed 8 year old son learned something he didn't already know!
