An Opinionated Guide to London Museums Book

Forget what you think you know about museums — An Opinionated Guide to London Museums is here to shake the dust off the glass cases and show you the weird, the wonderful, and the properly wow. Written by Emmy Watts, this fresh take on London’s cultural scene rounds up 50+ of the capital’s best (and often most unexpected) museum experiences.

Yes, there are Old Masters and ancient mummies — but also fantasy taxidermy, medical oddities, underground postal tunnels, and perfectly preserved Modernist houses. Whether you’re a culture nerd, casual wanderer, or just looking for somewhere new to escape the rain, this guide makes navigating London’s museum scene feel less school trip, more secret treasure hunt.

Compact, sharply written, and beautifully designed, each listing includes honest descriptions, stunning photography, and a clever “best for…” section to help you plan. It’s the perfect gift for locals, London newbies, or anyone who enjoys an afternoon spent getting lost in something fascinating.

Because museums aren’t just for rainy days — they’re for curious minds and excellent taste.
