Fantastic Memorial - What a wonderful place to visit with many opportunities for reflection and remembrance. Very knowledgeable staff who were only too happy to share stories from visitors past and present, along with their own knowledge and research. I cant rate a visit here highly enough. We only had a couple of hours to spare but could easily have spent longer here listening to and looking at the various displays inside and outside. Whether you are interested in war history or not this is a wonderful memorial that you cant fail to enjoy and appreciate or even just pay your respects to those who paid for our freedom in days gone by. There is a cafe here if you need sustenance and a nice little shop. Top marks from us, great place.

Very humbling experience and why bombing was so crucial during wartime.. - This was a really interesting visit. The tour guides are all volunteers and had lots to share. The monument with all the names around it was very thought provoking. However, the highlight for me was the timed film showing how bombing occurred all over Europe during the war years. We came so close to London being levelled by the V1 and V2 rockets. The all day veggie breakfast in the cafe was also excellent.

Poignant. Humbling. - A really humbling experience. We were reminded of the bravery of everyone who worked at IBCC during WW2. The exhibition was really interesting and poignant in so many places. The spire garden was emotional and a perfect way to remember the vital contribution everyone made in the fight against fascism. So appropriate to be reminded of this in today's political climate.

This is an incredible place to visit. - This place is well worth a visit. It is an incredible memorial to RAF Bomber command during the Second World War. There is so much history to be seen and the place is well thought out and meaningful to all those to took part in a very dark time in human history. The staff are very knowledgeable about the museum. I would recommend this place to everyone. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again.
