The presentation is impeccable. My wife is a senior architect that worked on the houses of Parliament (yes, I say that when ever I can) and she was impressed as well. They create walls and pillars just with mist and shadows and the lighting is excellent. It was more informative than I expected as well. There is a wall of artifacts and plenty to read. Even if I e wasn't particularly interested in it, they would be glad they saw it.. and it's free, which is rare where I come from. The photos don't do the room justice because I did it in night setting to absorb everything.
The presentation is very interesting and well done.
There were two other floors, one with some info and light displays as well as head statues, then you wait, for every twenty minutes you can go down and see the temple, where there was a little presentation with lights and sounds.
The site is not large, but it is entirely genuine and the effects are brilliant. Beautiful touch with the archeological finds from the site on show before you enter the main exhibit.
The main event is timed and controlled, and well run. Well worth 30 minutes to see and experience a piece of London's ancient history!
