British Museum
Choose a few galleries before you go, and make the Great Court a meeting point if your group splits up.
Getting there
The main entrance is on Great Russell Street in Bloomsbury. Tottenham Court Road and Holborn are useful Tube stops, depending on where you begin.
Admission
The permanent collection has free admission. A free timed ticket is recommended for planned visits, while some exhibitions need separate paid tickets. Allow time for a bag check.
What to see
Pick a few galleries rather than moving through the entire collection. Use the Great Court as a landmark between rooms.
Plan your visit
Decide where to meet your group before splitting up. Leave room in your schedule for entry queues and any gallery closures.
Allow two or three hours for a few galleries. Leave bulky luggage at your hotel and use the Great Court as a meeting point between visits.
