Insider Tip:
HMS Belfast is the most significant surviving WWII Royal Navy ship. You can explore all nine decks on the ship (and see much more than normal) to get a sense of life at sea, and at war. It's located in the River Thames, a short walk across the river from the Tower of London so it's quite convenient. A must for history lovers.
