Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Definitely the museum gift shops! Tate, Tate Modern, London Transport Museum, Royal Academy, Natural History Museum, V&A, Imperial War Museum, the British Museum, Tower of London, probably almost any museum you can think of.
  • This is absolutely the best place for unique, awesome souvenirs!
  • I would personally do V&A over Natural History museum, especially on a Sunday when the latter will be full of families.
  • Personally I would vote V&A over the Natural History Museum - there's more variety and more to do, and it's less jammed with small screaming kids especially on a Sunday.
  • would go to the V&A across the street. The café is simply beautiful. Museum is free.

Cons

  • If you do British Museum or V&A don't try to see everything - way too big. Research in advance and target what you want think you'll like most!
  • Wouldn't recommend the British museum or v and a due to lack of seating in the rooms.

If you organise properly I reckon you can fit in one museum, V&A would he my choice.

Perhaps consider the V&A. Amazing museum in my opinion.

I’d walk (one long block) over to V&A. It is so amazing.

I'm here in London and I found the V&A to be one of the best museums I've been to. I would pick it over any other museum in London.

V&A has TONS of stuff from the medieval period. It’s fantastic.
