It’s the UK’s most visited attraction and for good reason – the British Museum is not just the home of artefacts spanning centuries, but dating back thousands of years. Explore world cultures through everything from Egyptian mummies and Roman treasure to saucy ornaments from ancient Asia.
On a mini-break or taking a long weekend to chill out and explore? There’s plenty to do, whether shopping, arts, history or live shows are your passion. Even better, mix all of these into a busy schedule and take the chance to sample London’s best five-star and street food eating while you’re at it, exploring central London and beyond in 72 hours.
