Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- LJW_72Downham Market, UK9 contributionsI came with some family to see a Midsummer Nights Dream at Wilton’s music hall, that having been one of many trips we have made to this lovely theatre. We had food before the show which was delicious and then took our seats in the beautiful and comfortable theatre! The show was spectacular and made us laugh a lot which was great and we all had an immensely enjoyable time there! I would definitely recommend visiting if you are going on a day trip to London and fancy going to an amazing theatre!Written 13 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert PPewsey, UK2 contributionsA fascinating and informative tour of the areas where jack the ripper hunted his victims. Philip was both informative and entertaining bringing to life the stories and evidence of the killings.
A highly recommended tour, bring good walking shoes as you do cover some distance.
Having read a lot about the true killings and not the Hollywood fantasy about it, this made the whole experience more enjoyable and real. Would love to go again.Written 29 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The bookshop has a special display picking up the themes of orientalism, empire and slavery, mental health and art.Written 28 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My son (18) and I enjoyed the tour a lot, despite the pouring rain it was fun and educational! Our guide found some dry spots, which saved us from being completely soaked. The guide was super-knowledgeable on all things serial killers and was a deep expert on Jack The Ripper. He even wrote a book about it!Written 2 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Rusty, murky, trusty. Plumbs tumult, truths unspun. Thrusts tumultuous.Written 1 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It wasn't difficult to find, just a 5-minute walk from Whitechapel station, on a small street in the middle of the buildings making up the Royal Hospital campus. The museum was pretty small, and contained the things you'd expect in a medical museum, including photos, history, old or historial medical books and equipment. Pride of place goes to the exhibits pertaining to Joseph Merrick, the hospital's most famous patient. A replica of his deformed skeleton and the cap he wore to hide his face were on display. The best part - there's no entrance fee.Written 7 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Scenic239201228552 contributionsAs I look back on our recent trip to London, one of the experiences that stands out the most to me was the Alternative London Street Art tour. It was a well needed break from seeing historic sites, royal sites and museums. Our terrific tour guide Josh taught us about types of street art and we appreciated everything from tags and posters to funded murals. The tour took us to an area of London we may not have visited on our own which I always love in my travels. My daughter and I returned to the facility (about a 10 min walk) and participated in the workshop where we learned to get different effects with spray paint cans and stencils.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone who appreciates art in any form and wants a way to take a break from the typical London activities.Written 22 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The building is located on Cable Street and is a short distance from Shadwell station. This is served by London Overground with trains running from Highbury & Islington and Dalston Junction to New Cross, West Croydon and Crystal Palace.
A little further away is the Docklands Light Railway station which has trains running from Bank and Tower Gateway to Beckton, Woolwich and Lewisham and also you can change for trains to other parts of the network.
The mural is an excellent presentation of what happened when the local people rose up against the march by the facists.
There is a panel in front of the mural telling the story about what had happened.
This is an important piece of history that needs to be remembered so it does not happen again.Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Benjamin ConwayDagenham, UK5 contributionsWanted to do something for my daughter who loves all sorts of cookery, baking and so on. She's 14. We went and they were excellent.
The young lady, Victoria, who ran our session was exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled at the candy making, and was an excellent teacher. She showed us how to make a whole bunch of shapes of lollipops. We left with several kilos of candy too. It was an excellent afternoon. Highly recommend it to anyone.Written 22 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
