Excellent customer service

I have been with English heritage for many years and visited some amazing places that I grew to love.
Due to age and infirmity I needed to cancel my monthly subscription. I emailed customer services and they responded the next day to confirm they had cancelled my membership and direct debit as I had requested.I really appreciate the ease and professionalism in their dealing with my request.
Thank you

Quick positive outcome to membership query.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quick response to my email query about changing my membership payments from annual to monthly, and the ease with which this was expedited. The experience definitely encouraged me to remain a member.

All’s well that ends well. But: on the annual renewal letter, the specified contact email address did not work AND the second option given also failed. Could do better.

Very poor start.

Well, we received three membership cards for a dual membership, and none of the cards bore either of our names. They were for three different people! You had 14 days to get our membership right, and now we have to wait another 14 days for the correct cards to arrive!

What was particularly good about our visit was the thought that has been given to making a site accessible for someone in a wheelchair, and then the outstanding helpfulness of staff when we got there, also of course if any one has not been to Down House I would definitely advise them to put it on their bucket list, not only very interesting but you can actually get into the rooms to see everything in detail and also the written guide is really well set out so that you can use this as well as the audio guide.

Excellent on-line service for overseas visitors to England.

We live in Australia and have a 16 day pass on English Heritage during Sept. We needed some help with booking Stonehenge on our pass that will not be activated until we get to UK. WE requested and received
instructions and was supplied a promo number that I was able to us to book us for our preferred time.
This was excellent service.
