| An excellent museum focused on modern war and warfare, near [[Lambeth North Station]]. It [http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/7291 underwent refurbishment] in early 2014 but [http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/7728 is now open again]. |
Cinema at the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth, unsurprisingly focusing on war-related films. |

It is housed in the building which was formerly the Bethlem Royal Hospital (or "Bedlam"). (There are other outposts of the Imperial War Museum in Manchester and Duxford. It also runs the Cabinet War Offices and the HMS Belfast.) |
Free entry, but donations encouraged. |

Entry is free (but donations are encouraged). They have special exhibitions (such as one on World War I in 2014) which are also free, but for which you may require a timed ticket. |
(Note from [[Kake]]: I'm undecided as to whether the cinema and the museum need separate pages. Perhaps we should just rename this to "Imperial War Museum" and have it cover both?) |
| == Line 6 == | |
|
The exhibits are based around twentieth-century conflicts, especially World War II, and the many items in the collection are well-researched and presented in context, including such things as a whole house from during the Blitz. There is a cinema, unsurprisingly focusing on war-related films. There's also a cafe on the western side of the main hall, opening out to (uncovered) tables overlooking the adjacent Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park, which can get busy with families on the weekend. |
