The Best Free Museums in London

You won’t be surprised to hear that London consists of major museums and art galleries; But you may be surprised to hear that most offer free admission! Here’s a list of the best museums you can visit for free.

Natural History Museum: Located in South Kensington, the Natural History Museum is a beautiful Victorian building containing both the weird and beautiful of our natural world. We recommended visiting on weekdays, as there are normally long lines on weekends and holidays!

National Gallery: This gallery contains one of the finest collections of Western European paintings in the world. You’ll find works from artists such as Botticelli and Michelangelo. The National Gallery takes up the entire north side of Trafalgar Square.

British Museum: This museum has offered free admission since its opening in 1753! With over 7 million objects, you certainly won’t be able to observe everything in just one visit. Located in central London, The British Museum’s collection of Egyptian and Greek antiques is the largest in the world.

Museum of London: This is the world’s largest city museum. You’ll discover the history of London from prehistoric times to the 19th century.

In addition to museums, London offers other free activities such as art galleries, parks and gardens, musical events and street markets. You’re only in need of a place to stay! Browse our selection of available London vacation flats at GlobalGuestSuites.com to get started.
