Natural History Museum

Right next to V&A Museum is another landmark museum of the British Capital, the Natural History Museum. This one actually deserves a visit even if it is just for the world-famous building under which the museum is housed. It is one of Britain’s most striking examples of Romanesque architecture. The huge facade and high, spire towers, the rounded arches, and the grand entrance, leading to the imposing Hintze Hall & the grand staircase, will all leave you slack-jawed.

If you add to this the more than 70 million specimens, ranging from microscopic slides to mammoth skeletons & specimens that range from the ill-fated dodo to meteorites from Mars and a full-size blue whale skeleton and you’ve got the largest and most important natural history collection in the world in one of the most striking museums in the world.
