HMS Belfast is moored in London because it is a museum ship and many thousands of visitors to London can visit the ship there, down to all its nooks and crannies, and see how life aboard a battlehip was during the War years. I've been there myself and highly recommend a visit. Since most tourist coming to visit Britain come to London, it makes sense to moor it there instead of somewhere else where it would attract much less visitors.
