Experiencia fantástica: Amazing and beautiful and a historic place .

Experiencia fantástica: Its lovely to look at and stunning by the river

Experiencia positiva: This beautiful and well preserved little building on the cobbled Purfleet Quay was built in 1683 by Henry Bell (who in the same year also built the Duke's Head Hotel in Tuesday Market Square, where I've been staying!). It was not only a customs house but also initially a place for merchants to trade, and it remained the home of customs and excise until 1989. Would have loved to have taken a look inside, but it was closed. There's a statue of George Vancouver, the 18th century sea captain and explorer who charted the Pacific Coast of North America, in front of it. The quay stands on the site of the medieval docks and is worth a look. There's an interpretation board with lots of interesting facts about its history. The harbourfront generally seemed almost deserted, only a couple of moored vessels, but I enjoyed the quiet charm of its narrow streets and old merchant's houses. You can still take boat trips from the South Quay.

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely artwork, friendly and great atmosphere.

Experiencia fantástica: Closed but we had an amazing experience anyway

Experiencia fantástica: If you're expecting to see some of the traditional local customs on display here then you're out of luck. There is a house though.

Experiencia positiva: Didn't go in to customs House, it's closed permanently as far as I could tell.

Experiencia fantástica: Old building part of the Kings Lynn history

Experiencia positiva: Custom house is located at Purefleet just next to riverside. Beautiful architecture building. George Vancouver statue is around just in front of this building. Lovely place

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful to see it lit up with changing art work.

Experiencia fantástica: Historical Landmark!!!

Experiencia positiva: Very beautiful to see

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful example of architecture, dont miss out on going upstairs too, it's a real treat.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for an evening stroll. Quite charm by the waterfront. Well preserved.

Experiencia positiva: Looks interesting but didn't have time to visit.

Experiencia positiva: Whole waterfront regenerated and good area to visit.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice city and good place

Experiencia fantástica: Very interesting historic building , open most days to the public, well worth a visit.

Experiencia fantástica: I should say that it is not really a maritime museum as such, though it does have some pieces in it. It is the tourist information centre with a few extras, gorgeous iconic Kings Lynn building and worth a visit for that reason alone

Experiencia positiva: Faded glory can be so charming. A once bustling and affluent place, now quiet. This part of Kings Lynn is easily overlooked, but 100% worth passing through for art/architecture/ history enthusiasts.

Experiencia positiva: interesting

Experiencia fantástica: Very interesting

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome

Experiencia fantástica: Decent place to get pics

Experiencia fantástica: It's a lovely building, inside the tourest informaton find lots of information and helpful staff and pleased to help

Experiencia negativa: This place is somewhat heavily marketed within Kings Lynn as a place to visit - lots of photos showing interesting aspects - my appetite was whetted. Imagine then my disappointment to find the place closed. My visit to Kings Lynn was on Bank Holiday Monday - most other places in Kings Lynn managed to muster enough staff to open - just not the Customs House. A shame.

Experiencia fantástica: This is an historic area of Kings Lynn in the heart of the town close to the Great Ouse and Market Place, lovely buildings in perfect original condition, close to High St shops and several hotels and nice cafes and restaurants not forgetting some decent pubs.

Experiencia positiva: Good peice of history for the town and located just by the river.

Experiencia positiva: Looks good already, should look terrific after facelift on at the moment (August 2016)
