Groups and Schools

IWM London offers a range of options for schools, colleges, youth groups, university and professional groups and other adult group visitors. Entry to the museum is free for all.

UK schools and colleges can book a self-directed visit to the permanent galleries. During term time entry to exhibitions can be added to their itinerary. For a charge they may also book a learning session or visit the Blitz Experience. All UK school visits must be pre-booked.

Overseas schools can explore the permanent galleries without pre-booking. Children must be supervised by one adult to a maximum of 15 children. Our recommended ratio is 1:10.

We offer professional development opportunities to university and professional groups, including members of the police and serving military personnel.

Adult groups do not need to book to visit to IWM London. We do not offer guided tours, however groups of ten or more qualify for a discounted rate for special ticketed exhibitions. Please contact our Box Office on 020 7416 5439 to book tickets. 

Please check Visitor Information for local public transport and a map of the area.
