I try to visit Sir John Soane's Museum every time I'm in London. It's not large but is so completely stuffed with fascinating artifacts that I discover something new on each time I'm there. The museum was Soane's home and the office of his architectural practice, transformed almost unchanged into a museum after his death in 1837. Walking though it... More

This is an absolute joy. I found the museum via a 'Time Out' magazine. I would highly recommend anyone mildly interested in London and the people/philanthropists who used to live there. His collection of paintings and artifacts is marvellous. Well worth a visit and in the same area of Lincolns Fields is a very nice park AND the Museum attached... More

Strange collection in some beautiful attached houses. Worth the visit! And for free. More

If John Soane wasn't mad, he was at least obsessed. Thousands of marble fragments and statues, a very moody cellar room dedicated to a fictional monk, and a claustrophobic writing room are featured. There is also an unrivaled collection of superb Hogarth paintings, including A Rake's Progress. More

Amazing house with eclectic collections of painting, prints and sculpture. Hogarth stands out, but the classical architectural "bits of buildings" and statues are excellent for sketching.

This weird collection is housed in a town house on Lincolns Inn Square. It is like visiting an eccentric relative's house - one who collects everything. Some very interesting items....a great place to idle away a couple of hours More

Sir John Soane's has been one of my favourite places in London for some time. On the outside it looks conventional enough, inside is a true treasure house with courtyards, a wonderful Egyptian sarcophagus, the most interesting small art gallery in the world, with pictures hung on shutters (the hinges are still the original ones!) which open to reveal more...

My wife loved this place and found it to be wonderfully fascinating. I on the other hand not so much. There is stuff everywhere in this house and a lot of it is fascinating. There are two main problems I had with the place the first is that all most nothing is labeled so you really have no idea what... More

A truly fascinating small museum in which every square inch contains an interesting exhibit. This should be near the top of your "to do" list. Memorable. More
