Disadvantages: location

This is one of the best and most underrated museums in London. Most Londoners don't even seem to know where it is, which is a shame as it gives a wonderful sense of heritage. The main reason why it's not well known is probably that it's not in the main museum/gallery areas around South Kensington or Trafalgar Square. As with most of the larger London museums, it's too large to take in all at once - but if you pay once you get a month's free entry, which is a real bargain. They have great one-off exhibitions too - I've seen one on the history of Bedlam and mental illness in London and one on eating in London - did you know that oysters were once the epitome of peasant food?

Good Review, yes it's a great museum, very good for kids. The location is a bit off putting, but like most attractions few real Londoners ( those who live in it ) seem to bother. It's not really on the tourist trail either. I like it. The garden is lovely in summer.
