Today, I had the privilege to visit this Combined Services Military that has three floors, that tells each visitor, the story of brutal military history from the Medieval weaponry to recent global conflicts, including Suez (1956) Falklands (1962) Kuwait (1990) and Iraq (2003). I read all military books this year-written by the patron of the Conbined Services Military Museum Lord Paddy Ashdown- that was founded on the extensive garage weaponry and memorabilia collection by Capt. Mason-known as the `Mason Collection'-and there are 6000 items on graphic display, as a result of subsequent donations ot tanks,weapons,clothing ,WW1/2 pilot uniforms,French Resistance Radios in WW2,and a myriad of battle and war front equipment ,including the `Dad`s Army' section that was trained to defeat `Operation Sea- Lion' in May 1940. All parts of this Museum are unique and include the `Mason Collection' pieces of James Bond Ian Fleming inspired Espionage equipment from MI5 :the English Civil War armour,polearms,muskets, and clothing won by Cavaliers and Roundheads;and the fabled `Dad`s Army' Home Front that holds the focus on `Zeppelins' in WW1 and in WW2 the role of women and role of courageous female SOE Spies and women in Nursing and Munitions and the Land Army. The section on the `Cockleshell Heoroes' that completed `Operation Franton' at loss of all team in 5 canoes apart from two,and two sent home, under the indomitable patriotic leadership of Major `Blondie' Hasler to plant limpet mines on `Bordeaux Blockade Breakers' in harbour in 1942, that helped turn the attention of Hitler on the British Special Forces that would attempt and succeed on any mind-set impossible commando missions in WW2. I recommend the Combined Services Military Museum with its free parking facility to familes,schools, post 16 college students and whether a general interest or Sandhurst trainee, this is a special very place and is symbolic with all that is possible to obtain a Liberal history in modern post 1500 Europe. `Lest We Forget'...

Moot Hall

Reviewed By davidpI9434VD - Auckland, New Zealand

I took a group of U3A members there in November who were fascinated by the history and the architecture of the place. The view from the roof is breathtaking, but oh so cold up there. Luckily there is a Weatherspoons just down the road for a warm up and a hot meal!. The guides were very interesting, helpful and full of knowledge about the place.

Hi my name is Benas, we went to Maldon escape rooms and the experience was amazing, the staff is really great, especially our game master: Joe, he was really helpful. Would go again 10/10. We escaped the room “Cage”. It was very exciting and a great experience.
