So, my trip to London starts with a low-cost flight from the airport of Orio al Serio leaving al 7,40 in the morning and arriving at Stansted Airport at 9 am local time. Then some 45 minutes of train to Liverpool Street and from there we took the legendary Tube to Bayswater. We left the luggage in the storage area at the hotel and then we had the first walk aroud town, in the beautiful area of Notting Hill. A short visit to Hyde Park (a really impressive city park, something we can only dream of in Italy…) and then we headed to Covent Garden, where we had an intense (and espensive) shopping session.

In Leicester Square we had a small break, something to eat in a cool indian restaurant and then again in march heading to Trafalgar Square and then… the London Eye! We also had the opportunity to admire a view of the Parliament at night, which is an unforgettable sight, and to take some ‘classic’ tourist pictures in Westminster. And then to bed, after a really engaging and exciting first day in London!

The British Museum is one of the world’s most important and most visited museums. It has over seven million objects, including one of the world’s most important collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts, second only to that of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. In the Great Court, located in the centre of the museum, is the British Library’s largest reading room, which was frequented by Karl Marx. Receiving over five million visitors a year, the British Museum is the world’s third most visited museum and holds objects from every continent, grouped by place of origin.

Everything and anything you’d need to know about the British Museum.
In the pantheon of museums in London, one stands out from the crowd. By virtue of being the biggest, oldest, and most popular of London museums, the British Museum is a titanic cultural attraction. It’s also one of many free things to do in London, giving it that extra penny-pinching appeal. So, with all this going for it, what are the best things to see at the British Museum? As always, Secret London is here with the lowdown.

What is it? Oh, no big deal, it’s only the world’s oldest national public museum. Inside, you’ll find collections of art, literature, and other artefacts telling the story of human history. Over six million people visit each year, which is more than the population of Libya. It’s been the most popular tourist attraction in the UK, a title the British Museum has held for over a decade – until Tate Modern stunningly dethroned it earlier this year.

How old is it? The British Museum was founded in 1753 and opened in 1759, making it older than the USA. It was created by an Act of Parliament to accommodate the collection of Sir Hans Sloane, who also gives his name to Sloane Square.

What’s inside? A vast number of treasures, acquired over the years. The British Museum is split into sections corresponding to areas and time periods. You’ll find separate wings for Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Rome, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, spread across three floors. Oh, and a drop dead gorgeous glass roof covering the stunning Great Court.

Anything else? In the past, the British Museum has become so big that it’s had to expand twice – once to a site in Kensington, the other now located in St Pancras. These expansions became, respectively, the Natural History Museum and the British Library. The British Museum also has a fabulous Reading Room, but in recent years it has been – mostly – closed to the public.

Things to see at the British Museum
It may be called the British Museum, but most of the objects have been loaned from other countries or purchased from private collections. You also can’t escape the fact that many were claimed by underhand tactics of the British Empire, leading several countries to demand the return of their artefacts. Since there are 7 million objects here, we’ve selected the top things to see at the British Museum.

The Rosetta Stone: Not just an expensive language guide, you know. The ancient translation tool is written in both Egyptian and Greek, and is the reason we can read hieroglyphics. Carved in 196BC, it also happens to be the British Museum’s most visited object, so you’ll need to be patient to get to the front.

Easter Island moai: Easter Island is a bit of a trek, but since the British Museum has one of the famed heads in its collection, you only need go as far as Bloomsbury.

Egyptian mummies: The British Museum has a long history with mummies, having hosted Tutankhamun’s treasures in 1972. Today, you can find sarcophagi, the mummy of Katebet, and mummified pets, including cats and fish. Don’t get any ideas from that last one…

Parthenon sculptures: These figures, also known as the Elgin Marbles, have seen a never-ending saga of ownership which shows no sign of stopping. Greece claims they were illegally taken after Lord Elgin made a dodgy deal with the ruling Ottoman Empire, whilst the UK maintains it was a legal purchase under the laws of the time. Regardless of which side you take, you can enjoy the beautiful sculptures in a gigantic hall in the British Museum’s west wing, and learn much about ancient Greece in the process.

Egyptian sculpture: When you think of the British Museum, this is probably what you’re thinking of. A huge hall, full of busts of Egyptian gods and kings, this is one of the museum’s most impressive sights.

Winged bulls of Assyria: They once guarded the gates in the ancient cities of Nimrud and Khorsabad in Iraq, but now the bulls take up residence at the British Museum, looking downright imposing.

Tips on exploring: I’d advise you get to the British Museum nice and early if you want to beat the crowds and avoid the queues. Alternatively, the British Museum is open late on Fridays, giving you ample time to wander round the galleries after most people have left. Picking up a map for £2 will give you their “Top 10 objects to see” tour, which will take you through most of the major galleries (a cheap paper copy, without the top 10, is available for a “suggested donation”). Alternatively, audio guides can be rented for £7, and come in 10 languages.

Location: The British Museum can be found at Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, WC1B 3DG. Nearest stations are Tottenham Court Road, Holborn, and Russell Square. See it on Google Maps.

It was time for lunch and we went to London Street FOOD. There were a lot of people there and the food was very tasty.
