London can be a pricey vacation, so let's throw some free museums in to balance it out!
This guide has all the major free museums in London and a few you've never heard of. They're scattered throughout the city so no matter where you are, you probably have something fun and free nearby.
This guide is also perfect if you have a few spare hours between activities and want to see what's nearby (or to get out of the rain/cold) without spending more money!
In this guide, you'll get 27 free museums and galleries organized into type and priority. Categories include classics; art and architecture; history, military, and anthropology; and kid-friendly.

Want somewhere free to spend an afternoon in London? Try one (or a bunch) of these museums!Â
How to use this guide
This is organized into four sections, but the first is the Must-Do's. You've likely heard of all these, so you're on a repeat trip to London, try skipping to another section.Â
Within each section, I've ordered them loosely by my favorites at the top. But if there's a specific era or specialty you're into, skip down to that!Â
The ClassicsÂ
These you've probably heard of! If you're short on time (or museum energy), start here.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
