HMS Belfast is a Town-class light cruiser that was built for the Royal Navy. She is permanently moored as a museum ship on the River Thames in London and is operated by the Imperial War Museum. Construction of Belfast, the first ship in the Royal Navy to be named after the capital of Northern Ireland and one of 10 Town-class cruisers, began in December 1936. She was launched on Saint Patrick's Day 1938. Commissioned in early August 1939, shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, Belfast was initially part of the British naval blockade against Germany. In November 1939, Belfast triggered a German mine, and in spite of fears that she would be scrapped, she spent more than two years undergoing extensive repairs.

Former offices of the Greater London Authority. A radically-designed glass fronted and rounded building, previously headquarters for London's Mayor and Assembly. City Hall has now be relocated to The Crystal, a building in Greenwich, near to the cable car. The old building is disused and not open to the public, but can be viewed from the outside.
The London Bridge Experience and London Tombs are two scare attractions for one price. They were voted the UK's Best Year Round Scare Attraction for three years running.
The View from the Shard
Go up the tallest building in Western Europe to see the furthest panoramic view of London ever to have a price tag stuck on it. Entry is to a timeslot, but once you're up there you may spend as much time (and extra money on tea, cake or cocktails) as you want.
Britain's oldest operating theatre is an unusual tourist attraction, located in the roof space of St. Thomas's Church along with the herb store originally used by St. Thomas's Hospital's apothecary.
Not as popular with tourists as St Paul's north of the river, Southwark Cathedral has been the site of worship since the year 852. Literally in the shadow of London Bridge, the Cathedral is a shelter from the noise of the city. Next to the Cathedral is the Borough Market open Th-Sa with a wide range of speciality food to buy, a good area for lunch.
