A great museum to spend time in is the Museum of London.
With a history of a quarter of a million years there is so much to explore and to learn about this wonderful city, even Londoners will find it exciting.
The museum is located at the London Wall and can be reached easily by tube.
Travel back in time to AD 50, when London was a Roman camp called Londinium and see a whole reconstructed dining room from AD 250.
The exhibition moves further through Saxon London, Medieval London, and Tudor London with Henry VII, Henry VIII or Elisabeth I. At that time London became the centre for overseas exploration, literature, trade and arts.
Very interesting is the bit about the Great Fire of London in 1666, with a fascinating voice presentation and a screen where visitors can watch the fire spread.
The exhibition travels through Stuart London, the 18th century London and ends in the 20th century.
It definitely makes history come alive.
I went there a view times as the entry is for free and the museum is open daily, it is a perfect solution for a rainy day.
The museum is very friendly to children and gives them enough space to explore.
At the moment not every part of the exhibition is accessible due to reconstruction works until 2010, but the museum still covers so many topics that it is not disruptive.
The museum is open daily from 10:00 – 18:00
