The British Museum

Okay, okay. We do want to get to know London properly, i.e. see all the lovely little hideaway places, and not just live on the beaten track. However, we haven't done many touristy things in London before so we want to make sure that we get the best of both worlds. And today was most definitely a touristy day.


Does the British Museum need an introduction? Probably not, but just in case — it's considered to be one of the world's greatest museums for history and culture. It has about eight million things in its permanent collection and is generally a bit fantastic.

I don't need to say much more about it, so here's a selection of the photos we took today.

The place was so big we couldn't see everything — definitely worth a few trips.
