| Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Take the boat to Greenwich, (see Cutty Sark if you are interested) climb up the hill to the Observatory, stand on the Prime Meridian and see the small museum there. Then, walk down the hill towards the left and have a pub lunch. Take Tube back to wherever you re staying or want to go next. |

| I've been to all of these and frankly, can't really go wrong. They're all worth a visit. |

| My favorites are the V&A and the Tate, but our kids enjoyed the Museum of London, which wasn't very busy. |

Was going to suggest the same, but the main Museum of London building is closed until 2026 as they move into a bigger space. https://www.londonmuseum.org.uk/smithfield/ They do have a more nautically/trade oriented auxiliary space at the Docklands that is open now. https://www.londonmuseum.org.uk/docklands/ |

| Btw, the Gunpowder Plot immersive experience is now closed. The London Dungeon is fun. If you want fun. Right across from the London Eye. |

| Tate Modern, the exhibits are very cool and include interactive experiences. |

| Tate Modern is fun, regardless of what exhibits it has at the time. And the cafe is GREAT! As is the gift shop. |

| I vote for outdoor tour of haunted London, more fun than a museum even though I love them. |

The boat ride down the Thames to Greenwich where you can see Greenwich observatory and learn about Greenwich mean time is pretty fun. My girls loved the Jack the Ripper walking tour where you learn about Victorian London and Fleet Street etc.
you can also hire a Blue Badge guide to give you a themed tour on a topic of interest. We did one on Roman London years ago which was phenomenal. |

| We did British museum, Tate and also lightened it up with the wax museum. So fun and hilarious photos. |
