Museum of London

Though it's hard to miss the Museum of London writing on the wall, the Museum is often overlooked by tourists and locals alike.

The Museum of London is easily one of the best museums in London, as is exactly as it describes, a museum of London, from its Ancient Roman routes, the history of the Plague, the Great Fire of London, Suffragettes and all the way through history right up until the present day, and what's more..its also FREE. Barbican can be a bit of a labyrinth itself, and is a series of tunnels and stairs. Have no fear, they also have lifts going up from street level.

You literally walk through time, and follow a set pathway through the ages. Starting with ancient Roman relics found in the area...

Parents with children, keep an eye out for this hut, where they sometimes do story telling.

You continue to walk through the ages, passing the history of the Great Fire of London (with stunning paintings and relics of the old Fire Fighters equipment). You then follow the stairs down to the basement level (they have a lift too).

The basement level has all sorts down there, with a map room, prison and even an interactive gallery about the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens.

Something we also love there is the Victorian Walk. They've cleverly recreated shops from the Victorian era, to include: a pub, a barbershop, tuck store and even a little toy shop. Though its a look don't touch exhibition my toddler loves walking through it.

There's currently a special exhibit up on the Suffragettes, there's also another part of the gallery with a permanent display on the Suffragette movement, and women's roles during the World Wars.

There's also a minature recreation of some of the old London houses, and even a retro corner of childhood toys and old TV programmes (children can play with the toys on display there).

Much like a good vintage store, there's so much to dig through, and so many different exhibits and displays for me to mention, so make sure you check it out for yourself.

The Museum is open Monday - Sunday 10:00-18:00.

Ps make sure you look out at your'e walking to the Museum of the ruins all around, and even part of the London Wall still in tact.

Closest underground: Barbican, St Paul's & Bank

If your'e heading to the Museum, its a short walk to St Dunstans in the East a beautiful old church that was destroyed in WW2 and rather than being rebuilt they turned the ruins into a garden! Its stunning
