A lot of items are not well marked (with descriptions), and it might be optimal to visit with a guide. Still, if you have time or have already been to the British Museum a few times, V&A might be a great option to spend the afternoon browsing/finding inspiration. V&A has an eclectic collection, spanning eras (really old items, and those from the year 2018), spanning types (clothes to sculptures to random), spanning nations, and something else around the corner. Don't miss the jewelry exhibit, some serious bling in there!

A delightful pan fried hake with lentils, chorizo and fried kale - very tasty and just the right size. Paired with a smooth Rioja. Staff are attentive without being invasive and the setting is modern, calm and warm (it was freezing outside). Recommended if you are a member.

Somewhat disappointing visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum. The collections include obviously outstanding items such as the jewelry section. But in many areas displays are dated, poorly lit and labeled while the whole place needs a better heating system. To top it off a temporary exhibition on African fashion is small and a total waste of time and money. The only section properly lit is the shop but the goods on sale aren't appealing.

As a longtime follower of Beatrix Potter, it was just so special to see her original artwork and letters on display. A beautiful and fun arrangement for old and young, finishing with the expansive beauty of her time in the Lake District. Don’t miss the South Asia exhibit (free) amazing textiles and unbelievably fine needlework. This museum is always a winner.

My first visit to the V&A Gallery in London. Great day out and much more than you could ever hope to see in one day within its walls. Excellent exhibits, especially the Glass & Ceramics. Only real issue is thats its a bit of a Rabbit Warren and easy to get lost. Free to visit and well worth a visit.

Nice little walk around.. The aleatoric Potter exhibition interested is but you had to pay for this, £9 each so we gave it a miss. The jewellery session is amazing. Nice visit but far from tube exit and all underground so dry.

Exhibits were wonderful, cafe was dreadful. really enjoyed the art work and there is a lot to get through. The halfway break was a meal in the cafe. Firstly one queues here for this, there for that and then pays somewhere else. Linear flow may not be artistic but it works. They sell you "hot" food and then because there are no open seats you half to keep circulating in the hope of finding a space and by the time you do, the food is cold. Very poor impression left on us, and a number of other circulators that we kept bumping into.

An absolutely beautiful museum, so very grand. There are so many galleries in here. We only had three hours that morning so we were moving quickly. From beautiful pieces of ceramics, to jewelry, to fashion, to these beautiful statues, It took your breath away. It also has a nice museum store and a little outdoor eating area. They seemed to be working on a stage while we were there. After visiting here we caught the bus to Herods Department Store.

Definitely plan to spend the entire day here. I only spent a few hours at the V&A and I probably didn't see even half of what is there. I will definitely make another visit the next time I am in London.
