THe V&A's Jewellry room was better than the crown jewells. Full of tiaras and way more.
CENTRAL HOTEL in London suggestion. Anywhere near here is a great location.

1:18 Natural History Museum
2:39 London Transport Museum
Decent selection of Museums but there are so many more interesting museums in London that are missing here. My favourite of the ones listed here would undoubtedly be The National Gallery.
4:34 Somerset House
6:32 British Museum
try
8:30 Greenwich Museums
9:21 Cutty Sark
80 MILLION items in the Natural History Museum?! This seems impossible. Can we define "items?"
10:12 Royal Observatory
11:26 Tate Modern
Lovely and super handy video
12:55 Tate Britain
14:16 National Gallery
It is a shame that Indonesia do not pay attention to the art and the museum. So it is difficult to find any museums in Indonesia that similar to another museums entire the world.
14:54 Victoria & Albert Museum
15:35 Science Museum
The flies! Lol. I’m heading to London next week (early Feb). Can you do a WINTER in London video?

More User Perspectives
The British and natural history museums are my favorites.
@sauronthegreat5799Great video!
@radiogirlnycOther smaller museums i'd reccommend are sir john soanes museum, the wallave collection(near oxford street for a more bridgerton fix and also has a nice courtyard cafe) and dont miss the national portrait gallery around the corner from the national gallery lots of historical portraits and many fascinating modern ones of famous people and a good shop for buying images of your heroes like writers etc.
@andreharris7211One of my favourite cafes is in the basement of the victoria and albert museum (next to the natual history museum) the decor is amazing stained glass and tiles and they sometimes have a pianist.
@andreharris7211Excellent Content! I strongly recommend also including the Order of St. John. Very well done!!
@TheseBloodyStreetsI hope someday travel to London and meet these fantastic places, the history, the art and the science are for my the best spaces of knowlodgind, this video is a good resume about place for meeting ❤
@TephaRuiz-mt4vsThat's why I don't go to London anymore. I like to turn up when I want to, without having to book.
@meglomania2001Go to the Tate Modern if you want 'flies on the mantle piece' art
@meglomania2001The dead flies on a mantle piece got me 😂
@Ladi5lol. Love this video. London june 2025
@jameshchetwyndjr9739LONDON IS A VERY GREAT PLACE FOR TOURISM.
@RS-ln3nsI hate stupid muzak. Adios.
@michelnormandin8068Fantastic roundup
@aislinnbyrne-rt7pdthanks!
@JenkO-o0"Museums that make you feel less stupid than when you arrived." What a refreshing, retro British attitude. All the American museums are being dumbed-down, infantilized, and politically anti-white-washed to cater to ignorant popular prejudices. So many museums I have seen destroyed in the past 50 years--you can hardly find anything to READ about exhibits anymore, or meaningful objects meaningfully interpreted--it's all woke graphics and play areas. Keep it up, guys. You have a real history and culture. Don't lose it.
@JOHN----DOEOne that people always forget is the Imperial War museum. One of my personal favourites.
@dodgydaveableThis museum is such a shame. Thieves!
@vishnudixit7754Excellent as always thank you ❤
@irishinusa1615love Free!
@clement2780The Natural Historie Museum, and the Science Museum
@Booster357Fantastic roundup of the best London museums! Your recommendations are spot-on. Can't wait to explore these cultural gems and follow up with the post-museum adventures. Thanks for the great insights! 🇬🇧
@PathwayChroniclesI've been to Greenwich a lot of times.
@YASIN01038The British and Science museum 🔬🔭🧪⚛️🧪and the palvion cafe in Greenwich.
@YASIN01038I am heading to London later this month. This was very helpful. Thank you for making this video!
@JD_AnthroYou get your wars mixed up! Unforgiveable.
@alangaughranNothing like complaining about a woman having to leave the tunnels to go back home because her husband had to leave the war to go back to the tunnels
@KurtVSJI'm coming to London in may , good video. Thanks
@carlhole-maloney3249Respect for your remarks about Van Gogh's pronunciation. Unlike respected art historians like Waldemar Whatchamajiggers at least you made the effort of looking it up - he just keeps saying Van Goff
@mv11000Just returned from our week in London. Agree with everything in this vid. British Museum, Natural History, Tate Modern - awesome and free. Cutty Sark - fee, but well worth it. National Maritime - good and free. Royal Observatory - fee and rather small, but interesting for those science-minded.
@toddpalmer9351Near Tate Britain: just across the river is the Garden Museum in an old church. On a good day, go up the church tower for a really good view. Also, in the City, the Guildhall Art Gallery and Roman Amphitheatre.
@martinridgway7455Very good, and thanks for not being chauvinistic. Two of my favorites are both National Galleries: one in London (UK), and one in Washington, DC (USA).
@raulsimon2218These stolen artifacts should all be returned to its origins. It's just a disgrace to showcase these in a museum by the people who stole it. Shows the low humanity can get.
@jkw6196I am heading to London soon and this was honestly the best travel guide video I have seen so far! So beautifully cinematic and informative. I love how you included things to do nearby and gave an aerial view of the neighborhoods. I feel more confident for this trip and feel like I really have a lay of the land
