Guest Post: A Spot of Culture: Top 5 Museums in London

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

Full to the brim with museums and galleries to suit all manner of interests, London is a perfect stop for any visitor looking for culture and history.

Expand your knowledge and broaden your horizons by discovering some of the fantastic exhibits on offer in the city. With plenty of Travelodge hotels in London city centre, you can ensure that your visit to the capital won’t cost a fortune and with many museums offering free entry, your trip to London could be as frugal as you like.

When you first realise just how much is on offer in the city, it’s natural to feel a little overwhelmed. With so many museums, galleries and tours waiting to be viewed, you need to find out which ones are of most interest to you, plan an itinerary and stick to it. Many museums also house special exhibitions throughout the year, which can cost extra, so utilising a London Pass can maintain the low costs whilst keeping your experience high.

The London Science Museum is a perfect trip for all the family. With over 300,000 artefacts and exhibits, including Stephenson’s Rocket, a 3D IMAX cinema and some top of the range, interactive displays, this fantastic London Science Museum could keep you occupied for hours.
Also housed on Exhibit Road in South Kensington, the Natural History Museum is perfect for anyone interested in the history of our world. With 70million exhibits, including a huge collection of dinosaur skeletons (most notably the Diplodocus that dominates the entrance hall) as well as many specimens pertaining to Darwin’s work on natural selection, it could enthral your for hours. Be sure to check out the onsite cafeteria as well – the food is affordable and very flavoursome!

The V&A is the permanent home of the largest collection of decorative arts and design and spans 5000 years of art from ancient and medieval, up to present day works. Named after Victoria and Albert, if you’re visiting before the 27th January, you can catch some incredible artefacts from the world of Hollywood, including original costumes and props.

Head over to The British Museum in London Bloomsbury for a tour of some fantastic pieces of human culture and heritage. Presented within the walls of one of the largest museums in the world, the 13million artefacts inside include varying exhibits covering world cultures and most notably, the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon in Ancient Greece and Ancient Egyptian antiquities, including the Rosetta Stone.

For a piece of history, to pay your respects and appreciate what the veterans and our ancestors did to fight for our freedom, the Imperial War Museum offers insights into the way of life during WW2, the Holocaust as well as many other exhibitions. If you want to visit the IWM, be sure to do so before the 2nd January, as its closing for 6 months to allow for a new transformation.

These five notoriously popular museums are just five of the popular tourist attractions within the city of London. Spend a weekend here in affordable accommodation and appreciate these and other cultural delights that you can fill your itinerary with.
