An absolute MUST place

A MUST for all London visitors, also would recommend to see the (in)famous Elgin marbles, absolutely breathtaking ! Have plenty of time to see everything, a whole day the least. Atmosphere wonderful, and the staff most helpful. Take yourself to another era and time.

history for free

this museum is massive! allow yourself a big block of time if you intend to see all the exhibits. you could even spend some time one day and view the rest another day. the best of it all...it's free!

Overwhelming

For the history buff, the British Museum is the best deal in London, since it's FREE! It is humongous, and the best way to tackle the museum is to get a map, pick the parts of the museum that interest you most, see them, and come back for more another day. Or, if you're on a tight schedule like we were, find the marquee sights (Elgin Marbles, Rosetta Stone, most of the ancient Egypt exhibit), and see them. Definitely a fun house of history, but more general than other historical heavyweights like Westminster Abbey or the Tower of London.
