London Museums
There are over 240 museums in London. Among the more important are the British Museum (antiquities from all over the world), the Victoria and Albert Museum (applied and decorative arts), the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the Imperial War Museum, the National Maritime Museum, and the Museum of London.
Canal Museum
This museum is situated on a basin of the Regent's Canal near King's Cross. It is housed in an old warehouse that dates from the 1850s when it was built by the Italian Carlo Gatti. Gatti worked on the canal for much of his life and made a fortune importing ice for his ice cream business.
Dali Universe
An exhibition of 500 of Salvador Dali's works, including the largest collection of Dali's sculptures in the world.
Dana Centre
The Dana Centre in South Kensington is essentially a spin-off of the Science Museum. It hosts an extensive schedule of free talks and discussion sessions, designed to make science more interesting and accessible for adults.
The British Museum
Home to the famous Egyptian collection and the Elgin Marbles, the British Museum is the most famous and perhaps one of the most controversial museums in the country.
Victoria and Albert Museum
Victoria and Albert Museum (often abbreviated as the V&A) is on Cromwell Road in Kensington, West London, England. It specialises in applied and decorative arts.
Sherlock Homes Museum
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson lived in a Victorian lodging house at 221b Baker Street between 1881-1904, according to the stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
London Dungeon
Waxwork museum of horrors on Tooley Street. Lots of out-of-work actors doing temporary jobs wearing silly makeup scaring the hordes of tourists visiting. Great fun for kids: well, some kids.
Natural History Museum
The Natural History Museum in South Kensington is perhaps the largest and most spectacular of all London's varied museums.
