British Museum Visitor Information

The British Museum had been one of those London museums I had on my list of places to see but I just kept forgetting to go. I popped in before Christmas and fell in love with the place all over again. There's so much to see, and it's in the West End (central London) so it's right next to the biggest shopping area (Oxford Street), 5 minutes walk from Covent Garden and 5 minutes walk from Soho for the great bars and restaurants. The British Museum has loads of Free Daily Family Activities. If you're not sure what to see, I've put together a British Museum Highlights Tour that you can complete in a couple of hours. I've been back twice this year already!
