British Museum

As Great Britain’s Empire expanded, so did its cache of material treasures – many of which are on display in this world-class museum. Among its eight million exhibits, you'll find the stunning Elgin Marbles from Greece, the Benin Bronzes and the legendary Rosetta Stone. The Reading Room stands at its heart and is spectacular in size and scope.

    Too crowded to really see the exhibits.

    Too crowded to really see the exhibits. We booked a slot which I thought was to stagger the influx of people but clearly not. The British museum is world class when it's not too busy. Bring your own food and drinks ,come as early in the day as possible. Try to go to toilets outside of the museum as you could be stuck in a very long queue. There are free lockers for bags etc but again come early as these fill up very quickly, the alternative is the cloakroom which is expensive to leave coats/bags etc.

    It's free, but book an entry time in advance, and be prepared to join a long queue, so arrive well before your time slot. We only had one day, so picked an area or two each. I would love to have a whole week to go every day (and book for every day). Stunning to see in reality items you're familiar with from books! Another tick off the bucket list. You can buy some food there, but there's little choice, so it might be easier to take a packed lunch. Wear easy shoes as there aren't many places to sit down. Leave some time for the bookshops -- both the serious one and the touristy one.

    The British Museum is a must see when visiting London.

    The British Museum is a must see when visiting London. The building itself is spectacular and whats inside is even better. Big issue is the number of tour groups - not museum tour groups - external tour groups - everywhere! Crowding around all of the major exhibitions - taking up all the space and no regard for anyone else visiting the museum. Spent the entire time squeezing through these groups to glimpse an object. Would be great if there was a time set for no tour groups - but what can you do - its the British Museum!

    No other museum can even be in the same category. Everywhere I looked I was in awe. I even had a chance to hold a hand axe once used by Homo erectus some 400,000 years ago (I think his name was Fred).

    Amazing museum, well organised and full of interesting stories. Plus it's free! (except for the temporary shows) I really recommend to stop by, pick up the map at the entry and just get lost in history!

    Excellent place with something for everyone, but don't expect to see it all in a couple of hours. The collection is huge. Don't bother with the non- museum touted tours or 'mystery' tours. Not worth the money and you only get a sheet of paper and a pencil - then you're on your own. Better , especially if you have kiddies, to check if the museum run sessions are on, they are much better. The food here is a rip off.

    The location is great! Not far from the british museum and the West End. I walked almost everywhere by foot. (Underground station is also not far!) The bed was super comfy and it was quiet which I appreciated. The bathroom was tiny but totally satisfying and everything was very clean. Breakfast was okay, nothing too exciting. I especially want to highlight the staff! Both of the receptionists were so welcoming, helpful and kind to me. They made my stay even better. :)
