Advantages: Fantastic collections, incredibly interesting

Disadvantages: Can get a bit busy

The British Museum is up there with the best in the world. You need to visit more than once to appreciate the collections. Don't think you are going to get to see everything in one go. I would suggest, collect a map from the central atrium on your arrival, pick two or three areas you are interested in and focus on those. When you are finished, slowly make your way out via a different route to perk the taste buds for another visit. You'll definitely want to come back, but there is only so much your brain can absorb (and the back and feet begin to complain). There are many areas to sit down and have a light snack in the central atrium, whilst there is a restaurant up some stairs. I found the food average, but the prices on the premium side. Disabled access is good, covering all areas. The museum is pretty much always busy so don't expect a quiet potter around unless you are one of the first ones in.

Summary: A 'Must-See' if you live in or visit London, preferably more than once

As a tip, it is helpful if you can give an idea of prices rather than falling back on saying "expensive" or "cheap" - what you classify as expensive may not be so to other people reading your review. Even if you only can manage to say "it cost about £3" then that is more objective and helpful to your readers. :-)
