H R. • September 25, 2014Free entry with lots of good exhibits. Good to take a sketchbook here and spend the morning. The people are great to speak to. Small museum but lots to see.

Kit&kafoodle • October 14, 2014Awesome museum. Lots to see with incredibly detailed descriptions into the background of items. Beautiful buildings which don't detract from the artefacts.

Chris R. • March 1, 2015"hidden" Japanese Roof Garden, great gallery... if exhibitions are curated well.

Nat G. • April 11, 2011Lots of pickled dissected things and surgical instruments; not for the faint-hearted but fantastic for fans of the macabre and unusual!

David M. • April 13, 2010Fantastic museum! Just re-opened after a £10 million re-development. Especially good for kids with lots of interactive features. Focus on the immigrant experiance makes it relevant for all Londoners!

Cheyenne Y. • February 7, 2018Beautiful building, free tour was amazing, definitely worth a visit.

Feliza O. • January 23, 2015Wonderful place to know more about Dr Johnson. The staff there are all volunteers and the entrance Fees are used to manage the place.

Londonist • May 2, 2010Worth going for the giant model of London alone. But you'll pop back time and again for the informative and regularly changing architectural exhibitions. Free, friendly and informative.

Martyn H. • September 7, 2022A much needed museum for London and all queer people, thanks ⭐️🥰⭐️🥰⭐️🏳️‍🌈
