Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Just stunning.
    Arrived at 10am opening, stayed til 4 pm. I downloaded the app, and used the free Wi-Fi.
    Just a beautiful, amazing place.
    Did a free tour in the afternoon, extremely well done and interesting
    Cafe was nice too.

    The museum is very shabby and not just 1800’s shabby. It’s a lot of money for just half an hours (if that) look around rooms set out as if Sherlock had just popped out. You have to buy your tickets from the gift shop (which is bigger than any of Sherlock’s rooms) before you queue up outside for the tour. The tickets are non refundable so only do it if you’re not on a tight schedule as you can be waiting a long time, unknown time in the queue outside. Also bring an umbrella as the queue outside is not sheltered and we got very wet. It’s a great novelty place but really not worth the price and needs updating.

    We rounded the corner and found this lovely museum. Very well up kept and some interesting pieces including Rembrandt and armor of the 16th-17th Century. There is a lovely lunch area under a solarium ... also we heard some of the very knowledgeable curators educating visitors and it was fascinating.

    Only open during the week - it’s taken me a while to knock this one off my obscure museums list!

    Free entry and conveniently located nr Oxford Circus.

    Spent a good hour+ looking round this tiny museum. Interesting that from very basic beginnings (ether rag anyone?!) anaesthetics has become the largest hospital specialty in the NHS.

    Nice interactive info on some of the kit based around a hospital trolley, then the usual cases of bewildering instruments and info boards.

    A small collection tucked away in Fitzrovia with fascinating items on display. There is a lot put within a small space, which makes it a charming space to visit. With some gorgeous skulls and dental tools on display.

    There are two separate gallery spaces close to each other, one in Bell Street, the other in Lisson Street. The focus is entirely on contemporary artists, 62 of whom are currently supported through these London galleries and their sister locations in New York and Shanghai. I saw the exhibition by Spencer Finch at the Lisson Street location, which I enjoyed but not quite as much as I loved the gallery space itself. This is a series of rooms on the ground floor and upstairs, all painted pristine white and flooded with natural light. These galleries are off the beaten track in the under privileged part of Marylebone, but well worth finding. Admission is free.

    This is a gallery within the London College of Fashion incorporated into the University of the Arts in a bland concrete building a tad north east of Oxford Circus. Its current exhibition Break Factor is said to explore fashion in performance. Expect perhaps film of Madonna attached to a giant crucifix falling out of her bra, Victoria Beckham being booed off the stage, Yves San Laurent nude in his coffin, the exhumation of Karl Lagerfeld in a Hamburg pet cemetery; Jean-Paul Gautier The Musical.

    The Hellenic Centre is situated in a grand Edwardian building in Paddington Street W1 and was established in 1994 to promote Hellenic culture. This Sunday it was firmly shut but a large notice board outside gave a flavour of the wide range of events on offer here including Greek classes, an exhibition of artworks of the Southern Peloponnese by one Toby Wiggins and an ‘interactive’ play in Greek called Apple, Cinnamon & Sugar. Tomorrow a lunchtime concert by Trinity Laban students piano Duo Dithyrambico fillliwed in the evening by a veritable Greek knees up and plate smashing event in celebration of something called Kathara Deftera. No sign of Yanis Varoufakis and his Marxist take on the Greek debt crisis anywhere!
