In fact, Forces sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn couldn't believe her eyes when she visited the Britain At War Experience. The family attraction features a bombed-out department store with screaming shells seemingly zipping overhead to their targets in nearby streets; searchlights training on the night sky while AA guns fire off their tracers at enemy aircraft engaged on their bomb runs; smouldering rubble from the remains of a cinema, pub and homes hit during the barrage; air raid sirens, the noise and confusion of the rescuers, and of the trapped and injured in collapsed buildings; and firefighters and ARP Wardens tackling the blaze and rescuing a girl from the debris as a burst water main gushes into the stale air on the desolated street. As Dame Vera noted after her trip down a barrage balloon-filled memory lane, "I thought I was back in the war - it was unbelievable."
Normally entry fare of The Britain at War Experience for Adult is £12.95 and for Child under 16 is £5.50. You can buy “London Pass” and visit 71 Attractions in London instead of buying tickets at each attraction. It can save your time and energy.
