Our Local Experts say:
Just like the art scene in London, the museums are famous. They've attracted some of the best and most-loved exhibitions around. Visit one of the great London Museums and see what everyone is talking about.
From the trenches of the two World Wars to ascending through the centre of the earth, whichever museum you visit in London, you're in for a wildly different experience every time. South Kensington, over in west London is the culture hot-spot and where you'll find the coolest museums. Want to interact with dinosaurs, get seriously hands-on with science, learn about London's rampaging history, or learn about the globally-famousannual tennis tournament, Wimbledon? You can do all these in London, and at eye-openingly low prices, too. Definitely worth the consideration when you pay us a visit.
