Cities can be expensive places to visit and as one of the world’s most visited capital cities, London is certainly no different. But in between the expensive sights and michelin star restaurants, there are plenty of freebies too.
London has some briliant museums and the best part is that many of them are free to visit! Here are 3 of my favourites to really get the best out of the grey city:
The V& A Museum, or to call it by its full name, the Victoria and Albert Museum is up there with the best. It’s one of the biggest, if not the biggest, museum in the world and it has plenty to keep you occupied. With no less than 4.5million works of art on display permanantly, from a variety of eras, it’s a fascinating place to visit.
The Science Museum is a great place to visit, both for adults and kids alike. Founded in 1857, this dazzling museum has earned it’s place among London’s best museums. It is home to more than 300,000 sciencific related artifacts, including the first jet engine and Stephenson’s rocket. The IMAX 3D cinema costs extra, but tickets are fairly cheap and is a great treat for the kids.
The Tate Modern is one of the UK’s most respected art museums and has an expansive art collection, from the 1900s onwards. It has plenty to see, including a timeline display of the twentieth century’s most inspirational artistic moments. It has also undergone a massive revamp, to help accomodate more visitors – a nod to it’s well deserved popularity.
