The cartoon museum is excellent if you want to get an insight into society in times gone by - for example, there was a good section of cartoons dating from the last century on the dangers of Gin drinking! That, coupled with lots of cartoon reflections on politics, and social commentary, make this museum a little gem. Highly recommended for... More

The museum is quite small so for £5.50 it's probably... More

We visit this museum each time we are in London as they regularly change their exhibitions. If you are interested in comics, this provides an opportunity to see the original artwork. More
