HMS Belfast Morgan's Lane Tooley Street London SE1 2JH The cruiser HMS Belfast is Europe's largest surviving Second World War warship, now permanently moored in the River Thames, close to London Bridge. Now part of the Imperial War Museum, HMS Belfast is the first warship since HMS Victory to be preserved for the nation. A tour of HMS Belfast's seven decks takes approximately 2 hours and includes displays on naval gunnery, mine warfare, the battle of North Cape, Damage Control and other aspects of naval warfare. Scale models, photographs, audiovisual and sound effects all help to bring the ship to life. Many parts of the ship have been preserved as nearly as possible in her original state, from the Captain's Bridge to the 1939 messdecks through to the steampowered boiler and engine rooms way down below.
