Museums & Art Galleries in London


Museums and Art Galleries in London, such as Bank of England Museum and Barbican Art Gallery are listed below. London's two thousand years of history has seen a Roman settlement by the River Thames develop into a capital city of over seven million people. For the holiday visitor there is everything here one could wish for and there is no doubt that by far the best way to enjoy the sights and fantastic architecture of London is from the top of a grand old London double-decker bus.
