Just 5 min walk from King's Cross/St Pancras, London. There was also a special Propaganda exhibition during the visit. Historical and important building.
I came here twice, first I just came to browse the general exhibits, then second time I came here for the Propaganda exhibition, which was awesome. The whole place is well-run, the ambiance is great. I spent a great deal of time just working-away in the care, the wifi signal is strong and fast there. I haven't really requested any...

Thoroughly irresistible. Masses of information, footage, interpretation and intelligent narrative. The management of visitors was carefully done and although a lot of people there, it did not feel crowded. I learnt a lot and have since reflected even more.

Very cool building and super interesting, books, stamps, history, maps there is everything here. everything is very nicely laid out so even if you dont know what you are interested in you can wander around and have a good time.

I come every time I am in london. Just walking through the door makes me smile. A national treasure filled with treasures from around the owrld.

Seeing Jane Austen's desk, the Magna Carta, lyrics from the Beatles and manuscripts from the Wedding March and a Country Gardens with their scribblings and how it should be played was awe inspiring. This is definitely a place to explore and lean with the added...

The Treasures Room has something for everyone - a Gutenberg Bible, Magna Carta, Jane Austen, Beatles lyrics...you name it. I did two visits here during my week in London (it's free).
The mysteries exhibit was interesting, but the real draw for me was the Propaganda Exhibit. This included many examples of propaganda over the years, both British and non, and...
