The Imperial War Museum is a must
The Imperial War Museum was a childhood favourite of mine, and it’s recently been through a major renovation, opening again in 2015 to the public. Like a lot of London’s museums, it’s free entry, and the topics explored are well beyond any limited stereotypes of a war museum that might contain only ‘guns and battleships’. On my recent visit, the curation felt much more like social history, relevant far beyond the military or war itself.
