London Guide

Museums

I’d try to split stuff into different areas of London and do one area at a time. Don’t do two museums in a day (!)

museum

British Museum

  • British Museum for global antiquities (all the stolen stuff but still cool)
  • Permanent collections are free but paid exhibitions you normally need to book a time slot for

Design Museum

  • I’m obviously a little biased here but I thought the Wes Anderson exhibition here was so good. I highly recommend.
  • Heard that the standing exhibitions are missable, so maybe only go if one of the temporary exhibitions catches your guys' eye.
  • If you are going, make sure to book tickets!
