Group Visits And Private Tours

IWM London welcomes visits from groups. Pre-booking for groups is not required unless you wish to take a private tour led by one of our experienced guides. For further information on Private Tours, please see the section below.

If you plan to attend as a self-led group of six people or more, please head around to the West Entrance.

To find the West Entrance, please turn right when you are standing in front of the building, facing the large naval guns. Then turn left and follow the path that runs alongside the building.

If you're from a UK school and are bringing primary or secondary students, take a look at the dedicated page for school groups.

Add an IWM London Guidebook or an Explore! A Kid's Guide to IWM London to your booking. The guides are filled with exclusive insights, striking images, and fascinating details – an ideal souvenir of your visit. Pre-order price: £6 for the IWM London Guidebook and £4 for the Explore! A Kid's Guide to IWM London.

Your guidebook will be ready to collect in branch on the day of your visit and payment will be arranged as part of your booking.  

If anyone in your group has accessibility needs, please see our Accessibility page.
