South Kensington is best visited from the tube station of
the same name. Here you will find a collection of the world’s
finest museums – all virtually next to each other! You’ll
need more than a day to see them all, so choose carefully.
The Victoria & Albert Museum has around 7 miles of corridors
and houses a fascinating mix of collections from dresses to
church pulpits! A little further down Cromwell Road, the Natural
History Museum is one of the grandest buildings in London
and will occupy anyone with even the vaguest interest in the
natural world. Adjacent to this stands the Science Museum:
a Pandora’s Box of levers, switches, buttons and wizardry.
It also has a superb collection of cars, trains, planes, boats,
and even working steam engines!
