Experience life below decks - sleep on board HMS Belfast in her restored 1950s messdecks!

Kip in a Ship

Schools and youth groups of up to 50 children can now sleepover for up to 3 nights in unique, stimulating and affordable accommodation - right in the heart of London.

Children will sleep in a real sailor's bunk, complete with lockers, showers and separate cabins for the accompanying adults. These original messdecks provide a fantastic setting for groups of children aged 8 upwards to experience a day and night in the life of a sailor. An ideal base from which to visit the Imperial War Museum London and Churchill War Rooms.

How to Book On-Line

Booking sleepover is simple; we do not need know the number of people at this stage, just which night you would like to visit.

Click on the ‘Book Online’ button on the right hand side of this page and select the Kip in a Ship option and reserve the room for the night by entering ‘1’ in the box. You will need a credit or debit card to pay your non returnable £100 deposit (per night).

You can only book one night at a time, so if you would like more than one night, simply repeat the booking process.
