HMS Belfast is a preserved Royal Navy warship permanently moored on the Thames beside the City of London. Launched in 1938, this Town-class light cruiser served during the Second World War and later in the Korean War, making it one of Britain’s most important surviving naval vessels. Today, visitors can explore nine decks, including gun turrets, engine rooms, living quarters, and command spaces that reveal what life was like at sea. Its museum displays and audiovisual features help bring naval history to life, while the ship’s position on the river offers striking views of Tower Bridge and the London skyline. HMS Belfast stands as a rare and powerful reminder of Britain’s 20th-century maritime history.
