Museums


The streets of London are steeped in history. Exhibits from all eras in all places are just moments away from Hotel Xenia and La Terrazza, so the world really is at your fingertips. Travel through time marvelling at millions of artefacts across London’s museums, and imagine what life must have been like for those who used them. Beyond history, there are museums in London dedicated to nature, design, art and hundreds of other sub-cultures and niches; all you have to do is find them!

The British Museum

Showcasing one of the finest collections of antiquities in the world, The British Museum contains more than 13 million artefacts from ancient history around the globe. Admission is free to all visitors to the museum and tickets to special, seasonal exhibitions can be booked in advance online.
