Museums London

The size of London can make it a challenging place to explore. Even so, many areas that are favourites to visitors are within walking distance to each other. Many attractions are free to enter (all the big museums for example), so you can see a large number of must-see places just for the price of getting there. Useful website: www.uktravel.com: click on the tube station and find nearby attractions.
