“A walk around this old ship is like a walk into the past. Although not much of the original Hinde still remains, the restoration work is fantastically authentic and even more impressive when you find out it was subsequently sailed around the globe. If you like your Naval history, this is a "must do" on your London visit.” (May 2025)

“A lovely little find, myself, husband and two children loved looking around the ship, different levels to explore and something very unique and different to do. Definitely worth the ticket price we all thoroughly enjoyed it!” (April 2025)
