Museum of LondonNewest Review: ... Great Fire of London experience but I don't think anywhere has ever brought it to life in quite the way that the Museum of London did. There is so much information on the Fire of London and this is probably the one place where I can't complain about lack of information. I learnt about far more than just the fire and it's immediate impact on London, I learnt about the way it impacted on ... more |

So, it's a bank holiday Monday. The weather people predict rain, it's the day before pay day and I have very little money and I am on a mission to do as much sightseeing between now and September in London as possible.

Everything London interests me. From unbelievable, ancient old relics to the Lord Mayor's coach, the Museum of London holds plenty of surprises for anyone visiting for education, entertainment or research. London Museum is definitely well planned for journeying through the evolution of one of the world's biggest cities; clearly showing and outlining in a ''user-friendly'' way just about everything you need to know about London, up to the early 1900s.
