Explore over a century of flight at the RAF Museum London. Walk right up to Spitfires, early biplanes, and Cold War jets displayed across several free-entry hangar halls in Colindale.
Reasons to go
Full description
The RAF Museum London houses dozens of historic aircraft, from early biplanes to Spitfires and Cold War-era jets, arranged across multiple large exhibition halls that let visitors walk right up to the planes. Its excellent rating and strong review volume reflect genuine enthusiasm from aviation and military history fans, and reviewers frequently mention getting lost in the detail of individual aircraft they recognize from games or films.
Free admission and a somewhat out-of-the-way North London location keep it slightly less visited than central attractions despite the quality of the collection. Allow around 100 minutes given the number of halls and the walking involved.

Fantastic display of World War fighter planes in three different hangars. Information about each and every aircraft is detailed meticulously. Souvenir shops, restaurants and outdoor resting area are all enjoyable. This is a must visit museum in London.
